Upgrade (The hidden business)

Have you noticed that almost all your computer (or devices)  apps, widgets or programs are updates regularly and more than ever before? If you think about it, millions of people downloading the latest upgrade , how many gigabytes of payable a data is being consumed? Millions and millions of dollars!! Sometimes app developers are truly concerned with the improvement of your application but lets be honest, sometimes the upgrade is well planned and belongs to a business strategy…. I have decided not to use programs that are updated once a week, just my antiviruses and computer maintenance tools, such as CCleaner, AVG and Adaware.

Blackberry app world is asking me to download apps upgrades almost everyday, sometimes twice a day even upgrades for the app to control the lights of the device! Everytime I upgrade I use an average of 1 mb , China Unicom has more than 150 milion users, so do the math… Not only that! Let alone the wap push messages asking you to download songs, videos and themes… Welcome to the best hidden business of all times.

Next time you are asked to upgrade your app or program think if it is really necessary.  Last week I upgraded my Firefox Mozilla and I lost 3 important add ons because they were not compatible with the new version!!

Famous upgrades:

1. All Apple apps are updated at least once a month.

2.Blackberry flashlight

3. Blackberry lock for messenger

4. Blackberry Survice

5. Adobe reader

6. Adobe Flash

7. The infamous Windows update!

 

and so on and on and on…….
