Our wasteful Society
When will it stop?! Our society wastes an unbelievable amount of things and I do not see this ever ending! Every month there is a new technology, new televisions new I-something or other and all the while our dumps get filled with electrical goods that are still fully functional, however are totally useless in our society that is totally obsessed with having the biggest, the best and the most expensive gadgets in order to make other people feel inadequate. Do people not realise that this stuff is not real? You do not need these things to live a fulfilling life, try having a conversation with someone or going to the park or on holiday without your ipod, ipad, iphone, mac etc…It is very refreshing and a lot more rewarding to have a relationship with another human being than with some form of a machine. It started with television and radio and now its snowballed out of control. However I fear people will wake up to this far too late. I do not understand why people fail to learn from previous mistakes we have made. Why do people insist on ruining what we have left of this beautiful earth, do they not realise if they continue they will destroy what we have. The earth is already starting to fall apart and all we can do is buy the latest television and watch it happen on the news in between adverts of how to get rid of our unwanted acne scars. If people spent half the money, time and effort caring about the world as opposed to gadgets then we might have a chance to turn this whole thing around…however the sad fact is I can not see this happening.
