I watched a video on cnn that was about how crazy people are about technology. The new iPhones came out and there were people waiting in lines for hours to get it on the first day. The video made points that people are too into their devices, like the fact that Jesus could be back to talk and everyone would just be on twitter like "Jesus is here OMG". There were fights that broke out, as well as people trading 2,000 dollar purses for better spots in line. There's interviewed many people and one man said he has only had his last iPhone for two months but needed to get the new one. 

I think that it is insane how attached people are to their phones. I don't even have a smartphone, there is no reason to go out and wait in like for hours just to get an updated version with slight differences. People are so absorbed in the idea of new is better that they don't realize they are wasting money and acting like spoiled brats. I understand you might want a new phone but is it really nessesary to fight, give away money, and wait in hours of lines in order to get it? Can you kot wait about a week to get your stupid phone? It is ridiculous the way people in our society are about needing all of this stuff.
