10 - The Electronics Arms Race

Just like the Arms Race of the Cold War. Another is happening in my apartment. Actually, it is happening around the world. It is not a race for weapons or who has the biggest guns but it is a race to beat the other side. This race is for the best, newest, and biggest electronics that you can have.
I believe it all started when one of my roommates bought a new projector and screen off of ksl.com. It was a pretty good deal. It has been used multiple times. But ever since then my other roommates have been buying iPads, looking into a new desktops, getting new headphones, and trying to out due the other roommate. I, on the other hand, just sit back and watch. I wouldn’t mind getting a new iPad, a new computer, or even the new Wii-U. But I do not have the money for it. I think that my roommates are crazy spending hundreds of dollars on electronics like they were buying a snack from the snack machine.
             All in all, I let them have their little war. To me, I would never spend that kind of money right now as a college student. But it is fun to watch them go at it. Even though I think their crazy. I think tonight I’ll watch a movie on the projector. Oh the joys of others spending.
