Advancing with tech changes


ABOUT a month ago, the new MacBook Pro from Apple was released. A few weeks later, after most people got their hands on the new notebook, reviews started coming in and many people advised against buying it because it doesn’t have all the “pro” features that a MacBook Pro has such as an SD card reader, a HDMI port, an ethernet port, and USB 3.0; it only has four USB type-C ports. This meant if people wanted to use something like an SD card reader, they needed to purchase a dongle. This brought a few questions to my mind, one of which was, is the world of technology moving too fast?

You may think I’m some Apple fanboy defending it for only having four ports on its new laptop but I’m not. This is not just about the new MacBook Pro, but also about many other products that were released in 2016.
