The Inner Monologue

Oh, you’re a First Adopter? Cool. Enjoy:

• Paying triple the price for a gadget that’ll be obsolete in six months.
• Debugging someone else’s half-baked software because “innovation!”
• Explaining to friends why your cutting-edge smart fridge now only displays error codes.
• Realizing the “game-changing” tech you championed is, in fact, a glorified paperweight.

Meanwhile, Pragmatic Adopters are over here:
✅ Waiting for the kinks to be ironed out (because Version 1.0 is just a fancy public beta).
✅ Actually using tech to solve problems instead of treating life like a never-ending unboxing video.
✅ Not paying the “early adopter tax” (aka the premium for suffering through unfinished products).
✅ Laughing when the hype collapses (RIP, Google Glass, Juicero, and whatever blockchain thing you swore would change the world).

First Adopters are the tech world’s crash-test dummies. Pragmatic Adopters? We’re the ones who wait for the airbags to be installed.

Stay smart. Wait for Version 2. 🍷😏

(P.S. If this hurt your feelings, you probably own a Vision Pro.)

Too harsh? Nah. The truth stings—just like that $4,000 VR headset you never use.
