Shining, shimmering
I’m a fan of technology, gadgets in particular. It gets me excited. It keeps me entertained. But it comes with a price – a syndrome.
People always want the latest and the newest. Due to a lack of contentment, we are trapped in consumerism. We tend to buy more even if we have limited resources. And that’s how we acquire debt. We spend beyond our means to keep up with the trend.
One good example would be our phones. Every year, new and improved models of phones are released. And as a result, people also tend to replace their phones yearly.
Shiny Object Syndrome. SOS. The acronym itself cries for help.
I realized what’s new isn’t always the most useful and practical. I like exploring new phone features, gadgets, and apps. But at the end of the day, I only keep the useful ones, the ones that really matter.
