It outrages me; in terms of its impact on the planet I think it is irresponsible. I have only ever had two mobile phones, and I had to get a second only when the first was stolen. I liked that better than the one I have now! Just because there’s something new, doesn’t mean the older thing doesn’t still do its job perfectly well. Peer pressure to get the latest and greatest is something I resist; I despise fashion in clothes, for example. If I find something functional, comfortable and long-lasting, I am going to keep using it. But then again, I don’t have many friends 🙂
