Obsolete Experience

I've had many instances where products have become obsolete in my life. One that definitely comes to mind are cell phones. I finally received my first one junior year in high school. A number of my friends already were on their second one. There are so many choices of different kinds of phones it's overwhelming. Once I picked one and used it for about 6 months, there were so many new types of phones out there again.

Technology is advancing and it's great but it just seemed like right when I got my phone, it became old news and out of date. Companies just want to create new products so the ones consumers have now, they think are no good and they want the next great thing. Companies are just trying to make more money off consumers making them think the product they have is old, when really, the phones consumers have now are perfectly fine. No one really needs a phone that has a complete internet system, companies just want to make us think we do by producing a product with internet and calling it a "must need product."

A positive from obsolete phones can be good for the economy. By companies convincing to buy these new products, its putting money back to the economy and helping everyone out. By creating these new products, it does help with communication. Faster, more reliable communication is a need for our society now. Companies are simply doing their job and molding to society and making changes that will benefit everyone.
