Who hates gadgets?
You know the answer.
Everybody loves gadgets!
You are lying if you say you are sick of gadgets.
“Man today is fascinated by the possibility of buying, more, better, and especially, new things.
He is consumption hungry… To buy the latest gadget, the latest model of anything that is on the market, is the dream of everybody, in comparison to which the real pleasure in use is quite secondary.
Modern man, if the dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world”
Erich Fromm
Have we reached a saturation point?
Many say, we are destroying ourselves in the name of ‘progress’.
My friend, you have lost everything by not knowing the value of ‘today…’ that is ‘the present’.
You are chasing the mirage.
“People go on postponing everything that is meaningful.
Tomorrow they will laugh; today, money has to be gathered… more money, more power, more things, more gadgets. Tomorrow they will love – today there is no time. But tomorrow never comes, and one day they find themselves burdened with all kinds of gadgets, burdened with money.
They have come to the top of the ladder – and there is nowhere to go except to jump in a lake”
Rajneesh

Thank you Sue.
Do you still go ahead and buy a new one when old one is still functioning perfectly just because there is a buy back option from the seller?
Just curious.

Agree Dolly.
The point is we are never satisfied till we replace the old gadget with a newer version ( so called better version) version)though the older version is still usable and in a perfect condition.
Thus the financial drain starts.
Thank youDolly.

You are right; the majority of consumers do just that. That’s what the consumerist economy is based upon.

I understand.
I was wondering about people buying new gadgets when old ones are in perfectly working condition.
Is this not a waste of hard earned money?

Unfortunately, most people are brainwashed into it because that’s what makes the economy going.

Research has found that about 85% adult Americans do not cognitively develop beyond the age of 11 – 12. I don’t know about people in other countries.

This is a news to me.
And it’s too terrifying.
I think the story is same in any part of the world.
We are all influenced by social media platforms.
