When did people become so fucking trendy that they absolutely must buy the latest cell phone on the exact same day it is released in stores?

During the 1980s a family member of mine (who was earning six figures plus commission) used the same cell phone for well over 5+ years. He did not feel the constant need to upgrade to the latest model every single time one was released. He could have easily done so had he wanted to but chose not to.

Fast forward 25 years into the future....

Today people constantly feel the need to own the latest technology gadgets on the market. Six months after buying something, they are already shopping again to replace what they just bought a few months ago.

Why not?

If people want to wait in line, overnight, in the rain, who gives a shit. Some people like new stuff, some like old stuff, some can wait, some can't.

Doesn't effect me, so I have no problem with it.

I'm one of those so called "toads" that doesn't work. Yup, you're right. Asshole.

I don't work in an office. I don't have a commute. I don't have to deal with co-workers. I do all my work at any time I feel like it, on the internet and can make my six-figure income from any cafe with wi-fi...even if it happens to be on the beach.

With all the choice of mobile phones in the 1980's, this is extremely surprising NOT. Your post is stupid and you are a liar.

No. Fuck You Motherfucker. His cell phone looked just like this one. He had it for most of the 1980s and kept using it well into the early 1990s.

Point is there were no new models being released every day and you allege your relative is exercising some sort of self-control, when the real reason is a) it is hard to buy something or be tempted to buy when nothing exists to buy, and b) 25 years later his family is comprised of morons.

I'm young and make good money. I have a Macbook Pro and a $5,000 Maingear gaming PC. It's not my fault I graduated with good grades, job offers and signing bonuses up the wazoo. I'm not going to wait in line for the iPhone 5, but if I wanted one, no problem.

Don't hate on us for your pathetic shortcomings. It's not my fault your McDonald's job isn't doing much for you. Should have aced discrete math and non-relativistic quantum mechanics instead of smoking crack and collecting welfare checks. I would be shocked if the thread starter wasn't black or a spic. THen again, it could be disgruntled white trash. Either way, you can bitch all you want, but I still need my lawn mowed by next week.

Have you served your country?
Given back to the community and helped unfortunate humans?
Bad etiquette and self-centered toys are what you seem to pocess.
Who needs someone when you can jerk-off.

What's the first image that comes to mind of someone using Pantechs or using services like Cricket or Simple Mobile?

I don't hate on someone like you. I pity you because you find the need to fill your empty life with bullshit material accoutrements. Perhaps you'll eventually realize that this reality is just a big bullshit masquerade and ultimately no one will miss you when your worm food, regardless of how many trinkets you collect over your lifetime. Until then, keep running on that treadmill you soul-less bitch. Someone has to keep the Chinese busy.
