Excessive consumption

Every time a go to the United States, I found out that there is a new videogame console with certain capacity of saving, a lot of people is buying that console because is the double of capacity than the previous one they had and it is at a real good price. But later I find out like four months after that trip, that the same console launched another console with even more capacity and better quality of graphics at the same price than the console I saw four months ago. This is how economy is working now, we cannot enjoy of some new article because in a few months we will be “oldies” because the new device is a lot better than the one we have. There is no way to stop technology from keep advancing, but we definitely will have to see things from other way if we have to survive this excessive consumption era. It is excessive that companies are releasing new articles very soon. I think this one of the causes that cause the economic crisis, people want new things so they waste all they have without caring about the consequences. It is impossible to stop the way companies do their job, but it is possible to control ourselves of buying every new thing on the market, we have to be intelligent in that aspect.
