The Rich Aircon vs. The Poor Electric Fan

Electric fan is the most usual thing you can find in a house. Basically, when the weather is hot, the number one thing you do is to turn on the electric fan at the maximum number. You will feel contented and want to thank for having this air provider. Besides, electric fans are good to be available in a normal house. You won't see an aircon inside the house of a poor family.. It's not appropriate and the consumption of electricity in electric fan is much lower than aircon. It's not expensive to purchase an electric fan and everyone can afford it. Of course, they will choose it over the traditional fan.

Contrary to my above statements, aircon is the most usual thing you can find inside the house of rich and middle class people. Basically, you may see them placed inside bedrooms, living rooms and in different parts of the house. We wonder why they prefer it over electric fans. Maybe because it entails less space. Another thing is, since most aircons have a remote control included, they don't need to get up and manually press the button on its body. They just press a single button wherever they might be in their house (of course you should have a full view of aircon and press the button). I'm not saying that rich and middle class people are too lazy to move their body but we all know that as technology progresses, our lifestyle becomes simple and easy.

"I don't care whether these changes will only make us being more dependent on new things or it's the main reason why inventors built them in the first place: to make our lives easier and happier. But as long as we benefit from them, it's okay. Besides, we agree that technology has a great impact to our lifestyle, we should instill in our mind that the welfare of our environment should be our main concern."

Actually, having either an electric fan or aircon depends on the status of life we have. If you are poor, then electric fan is the thing you can afford to buy; while being a middle and rich class, aircon is their preferred cooling device. Another factor to consider is, sometimes status in life has no influence in things we purchase, it's our desire to have that thing. If we want to have those things as our possession, we would do anything just to have it even though the money we have is not enough. So status quo is just one factor.

Anyway, just to let you know I am neither poor nor rich, I belong to the middle class. We have 7 electric fans and 1 aircon at home. We usually use electric fans which located at different spots in our house than aircon which is found inside my sisters' bedroom. I want the comfort and air provided by electric fans as well as reminiscing the cool air given by aircon.

So I can say that nobody wins. Only you can tell who really win this fight. Everyone has opinions to express. So let me hear about it! =)
