I just finished watching commercials for the Wii game, Tivo and Vonage. Then there was the "Juke" (cool name, but I do not need an MP3 player in my cell phone)
I probably do NOT need Netflix, caller ID or my cell, really. Though I do like them.
There just has to come a point where you say, do I really NEED all this STUFF????
Being in Vero with my Mom and watching her shop for all this STUFF just reinforces my belief that stuff does not matter.
People buy stuff- then store stuff, they need stuff- then sell stuff, they eat stuff then...well, you know.
Enough stuff! I have little desire for stuff anymore. I already have a digital camcorder I can't run so I use my digital camera that I can barely run. I don't know how to store a number on my cell or access my cell's voicemail from another phone. And no, the clock on my VCR years ago and my DVD player now, is still not set.
Perhaps it is single young people with high paying jobs or over extended credit that need this stuff. Perhaps the lonliness of late night work, no family unity, waiting to marry and have kids until later in life all result in the need for "stuff".
I am often tired. Frustrated. Impatient. Or on even on the verge of tears but I wouldn't trade it for all the stuff in the world.
I'm not saying I wouldn't accept a large flat screened TV to watch Blue Planet on though... ok, SOME stuff is pretty darned good!
