Technology has undeniably transformed our lives, connecting us globally and making everyday routines more convenient.
Yet, amid the dazzling displays of cutting-edge gadgets, a common misconception persists: embracing the future costs a bomb.
COMEX 2024, Singapore’s largest consumer tech show, is here to bust that myth.
