The Picture above is of the new iPod Nano. Despite its size, it can store up to 16GB of Music, Photos and Videos. When I bought this item, I was impressed with its slim, compact design and amazed at how it can store so much data, within one tiny space. 16GB would have been more than most personal computers pre-2000. This shows how far we have come in terms of technology.
Why is it we want our belongings to do more for us than to function well?
We want our belongings to do more for us than to simply function well because with technology so advanced as it is, we want our belongings to be able to include as many forms of technology as possible. For instance, if an iPod was introduced now, without the ability to store photos or videos, or had the storage capacity of below 8GB, many customers wouldn’t be satisfied as the option of video and photo storing is not available. Along with this, if it was made in a design that wasn’t pretty on the eye, people would also not want to buy it. Although it may function well, we would all want to be able to show it off and be proud of our belongings.
Why are we willing, as soon as we can afford it, to pay extra for things with appealing forms?
I feel this is because there is a competitive nature within humans. While a 1st Generation iPod may be cheaper and work great and does the same things a 4th Generation iPod can do, we won’t buy it as there is a feeling of always trying to be better or keeping up with society. As well as this, the influence of celebrities and TV/Film/Newspapers/Magazines will make society want these newer, more expensive gadgets more.
