Technology is always improving, though corporations like Apple seem to be further along in development than they let on and just give us the rough drafts. That being said, I have a phone. It's very nice but it's not a smart phone, it has a great camera (still one of the better ones available despite being over a year old) and I still really like it and feel no need to get a newer model. It takes stunning pictures, good with texting, playing music, internet (which is optional unlike the smart phones; I don't want to pay $30 a month), and best of all I can call people! It's a phone first and as long as it can do that (and take pictures; it serves as my camera) it's here to stay. It seems to me that many consumers just see new things and assume that they're essential or better than the old things. Personally, I never see "new" as "better." I have to see a real improvement before I go off saying anything like that.
I don't like most of my peers in college. I really hate seeing everyone wear The North Face crap and Nike sneakers. I overheard one guy talk about getting a North Face jacket for $300 and another for $400 I think. Apparently, he plans on wearing one for the rest of the semester and one for the next semester. What is the purpose of that? There's just something about spending that kind of money and planning when to wear something that just irritates me. The "men" in my class are like school girls. I hear them chit chat in the back, gossiping, spreading rumors, and of course talk about fashion. I can't wait 'til I can change my major and not have to see them 8). Nikes are for tools (lol).
