I had a student before who wanted to have his own laptop but his parents won’t get him one. Reason? He spends too much time playing computer games.
He reasoned out that yes, he wants to have his files (or yes, games) with him wherever he goes. I even kidded him “So you want to guard your games 24/7 huh?” He just chuckled.
So when there was still no laptop for him but he did a move that surprised his parents. I was surprised too.
He got himself an external hard drive! Woohoo!
That way, he reasoned, he can bring his games with him when he go to his friends houses and that way, he can still play with these games 😀
Clever boy, he used his own money to buy the stuff.
