Third, increased features. Thanks to advances in technology, products are getting better all the time, especially electronics. There is a good chance that the latest model includes some cool features that didn’t exist when you old one was mode. Now, you can get a high-definition2 digital camera that is small enough to fit in your hand. You can get cell phones that have everything from email to video to GPS3. In fact, I hardly ever use my phone for an actual phone call anymore because it can do so many other wonderful things. You see, the benefit of increased features is another reason to buy something new. So throw something out today! The throwaway society shows us how good things are.
