As someone who enjoys technology, and believes that it can bring quite an improvement to our lives, I find it quite irksome to say the least when people try to push their particular favorite piece of tech as the absolute best.
One of the most high profile being the Android vs iPhone discussions. Die hard fans of both platforms claiming that theirs is the absolute best, minimizing any of the negatives each platform has. The thing is, that is that the best will be the one that better fits to each person needs, and expects, from their smartphone.
For some, an Android devices got their needs covered while for others the iPhone is the way to go. Forcing people to one or another without considering their needs is a recipe for making the whole experience a disaster, cementing quite a negative impression of the platform you gave them.
Personal preferences aside, we need to start seeing each and every technology as a tool that will help us do something happen. As such, we need to select the best possible to get the best possible results.
Not all technology is made equal, since its tailored to the needs of the job it was design to do. Before proposing the use of any tool, first one has to understand what's is asked to be solved. If not, one risks to make the problem ever bigger.
No technology is perfect, or can do everything.
