Hi SM,
You are indeed right. People are not yet accustomed to browsing online
reviews in order to acquire the required knowledge when choosing a
mobile phone that will suit their daily usage. To be safe, some users
even tend to go for the top-tier mobile phones to ensure that whatever
they choose fits in their daily usage (but it is not always the case).
How many times have you seen people owning the latest brand of mobile
phones and yet only use 1/4th or even less of the device's
functionalities?
To answer to your last question, I would say that the main difference
(for me) is safety. People might opt to buy from a hawker because it is
more convenient in their point of view. However, they might forget about
the after-purchase part of the story. Mobile devices tend to fail and
relying on a "convenient shop" that might disappear at any time is not a
reassuring idea. Most of it come to a simple fact; if they are not in a
position to query about the mobile devices they need before purchase,
are they really in a position to make the call between a hawker and a
shop?
Technology as anywhere in the world has blossomed very quickly in
Mauritius. In the past decade, we all saw how fast mobile devices
evolved and same goes for the internet. As a matter of fact, has those
who are unfamiliar with technology or those who got swept in it capable
of using it effectively to query about technology itself (Sounds
ironic)?
Kind Regards,
Mike
