If we really still want them, the law of demand will help us out. The price will go up, and people will start working to be able to afford it.
If it turns out that we don't actually want smartphones, new jeans, Starbucks coffee, etc -- then that's great too. We'll end up with a lot less pointless consumption and people can spend their lives chillin' with their buddies!
