New And Old

Consumerism is laughable. In the old days, new things became old, then unusable and then thrown away. In the age of consumerism, new things are bought merely because they’re new. As a result of all these new items, the old items are to be discarded because they’re old. Strangely enough, new items eventually become old again, and the cycle is repeated. What effectively happens is that the cycle of buying and tossing out is increased…with little real benefit to the consumer. After all, not every new item is significantly better than the old one.
