I see by the language you have used, and I know that you are quite literate, that those people are responding primarily to their primal and emotional urges as opposed to any real need they may have for the device. I am learning to control those urges and as a result of the revelation that has bestowed upon me, I find that things I really need provide me with greater satisfaction and utility in the long run. As I said earlier, I am not the ideal consumer.
