TECH FOCUS : Buying Gadget That Are Only Used Once

Loading player...
In this episode, Complexion and tech expert Edzai Zvobwo unpack the all-too-common habit of buying tech gadgets we rarely, if ever, end up using. From smart devices and wearables to the latest “must-have” accessories, many of us are drawn in by hype, trends, and the promise of convenience, only for these gadgets to gather dust weeks later. The conversation explores why we fall into this cycle, from clever marketing and peer influence to overestimating how much a device will actually improve our daily lives. It also reflects on the gap between intention and reality when it comes to adopting new technology.
