I have same opinion about electronic gadgets and buying costly things. They should serve the purpose. When I came to Toronto, I left my cell phone in India. U cant imagine that how much addicted we are to cell phones. I use to feel phone ring every now and then. It continued for almost 2 months. I kept on taping my pocket every now and then to make sure cell phone is there. Its just our mind which gets trained and we call it addiction. Now I forgot the cell phone. I hardly get call on my landline.
I had argument about buying better and better stuff with my friend sometime back. I liked her point. I am not sure that I agree with her or not. When we are talking old TV and comparing with LCD TV. It was not affordable to any body few years back. Now I can buy it.
When our parents bought new TV. They had struggle to buy that TV during their days. They have really worked hard to buy it and so they dont want to replace it. If we still go back to past during our grand grand parents. They didnt have TV. Werent they happy? I dont know. They might have different types of problems.
Ultimately, technology or money or any other thing wont bring happiness and satisfaction. It is true that when we see other people having better and costlier stuff, we get temptation to buy it. Its human psychology. Our parents are happy with what they have is because they are developed that way.
