I think this article is a brilliant insight into so much unsconscious consumption patterns I see in my own and everyone else's lives these days. Because of plummeting manufacturing costs, we're essentially cash rich and time poor. But our habits around purchasing haven't caught up with that fact and it's very easy to find yourself only calculating the money cost of something when determining if you can afford it, without incorporating the time cost too. I make music and this problem is endemic there where you see people with walls of guitars they can barely play and racks of synthesizers whose functions they don't know. It's really hard to fight against this because marketing is constantly trying to downplay the time commitment for stuff to get you to buy it.
