The Telekom cable was stolen again. The 3rd time since MCO. It drives me (nearly) crazy. So, I went with my sister to search for mobile modem. We choose U Mobile. We picked GX68 which costs RM58 per month. Postpaid. But the device itself costs RM180.
Some of you might think that I am really slow when it comes to this thing. Yup. I admit that. But according to the Law of Diffusion of Innovations (Everett M. Rogers’ idea in his book Diffusion of Innovations, 1962), we can categorise people into five categories: Innovators (2.5%), Early adapters (13.5%), Early majority (34%), Late majority (34%) and Laggards (16%). I belong (self-claimed) to the laggards. Yup.
My thought is “Why should I use mobile modem when I can use the normal internet modem?”. But when I face with the difficulty of not having internet at my disposal due to the same reason i.e. stolen cable, I think that it is the right time for me to have a mobile modem. A laggard. Indeed.
