I. Introduction
The study deals with the thesis question, everyone wants the latest technology although there are
too many options and too many specifications, which is confusing. Electronic products are
replacing traditional manual products and making them more accessible and easy to use.
II. E-books
In the recent years, the whole format of reading has been phenomenally changed with the arrival
of the E-books in the market. Nowadays, people do not have to spend a lot of money and build
libraries at their homes to store books. Books are available on the internet and can be
downloaded anytime. Special e-book devices like Kindle can store thousands of books in one
place and new books can be downloaded from there.
Modern day booksellers besides publishing books have turned their heads towards e-book
publishing as the market is gradually increasing. E-books can be read on any electronic device
such as a smartphone or a computer with e-book readers (Gunderson, 2015). Thus, some famous
booksellers like Penguin have their own e-book readers, which can be purchased. In this way, the
readers can access a wide variety books, which often creates confusing in the reader.
E-book readers come with some limitations, which are, yet to be resolved. E-book readers
sometimes have compatibility issues, which mean that they might not run on devices of other
brands. E-books have started creating their market only a few years back. In this case, there are
still many people, who prefer to visit libraries or buy books offline (Gilbert, 2015). The older
generation suffers from this technological issue the most, as they are not able to operate the

electronic devices. Sometimes, it is seen that there are many books which do not have an e-book
version, so then readers have to switch back to paper books to read them.
III. Digital Cameras
Digital cameras come with in various types of models and there are many specifications to look
into before buying one. The various types of digital cameras are- compact cameras, DSLRs,
SLRs, EVFs and so on (Nakamura, 2016). Before purchasing the camera, one has to decide upon
the usage of it, then they can move onto pondering over the specifications. For example, when a
person wants to buy a light camera but few megapixels are fine then Digital cameras are perfect,
SLRs are used for multitasking and DSLRs provide the facility of both the SLR and Digital
cameras. The two most important features, which are determined before buying a camera is its
megapixel and its zoom, lens power.
IV. Televisions
Televisions come at different ranges of resolutions and at different prices. More the resolution, a
person can sit more close to the screen and watch Tv without noticing any pixilation. The latest
plasma Tv comes in sizes from 32 inch to 65 inch (Truong, Klink, Fort‐Rioche & Athaide,2014).
The prices vary along with the size of the screen. It is very important to have atleast a television
in every home for the entertainment of its family members.

V. Conclusion
The study suggests that there are many options in electronics in the market but a consumer
should always buy them according to their needs and by judging the quality of the product. They
should not make any hasty decisions while purchasing any electronics.
