Bleeding Edge Technology

Bleeding edge tech is way cooler than you’ll ever be. It’s so new that it’s not even cutting edge yet.

Because it’s not accepted by normies yet, bleeding edge tech has the risk of disappearing without a solid base of consumers. It also isn’t tested yet, unlike cutting edge tech, so it can be a bit janky.

Early users might be considered beta testers to make bleeding edge tech into cutting edge tech, but they risk losing the time and money they invested becoming a consumer of bleeding edge tech that doesn’t make it past user testing.

If you want to be super cool, and potentially waste a lot of time and some money, it’s time to buy some aviators and start living life on the bleeding edge of tech.
