If everyone you know has a smart phone you are going to have work hard not to feel that you should get one too.

We need to balance the gain of acquiring products with the inconveniences not only at a personal level but at a societal level one (work, environment, work condition of those producing etc.) This seems to be rarely the case.

I think problems arise when companies who make a product, in the name of higher profits, convince us that everyone needs the product all the time.
