Just Stop Buying Useless Crap

A while back I wrote a post bemoaning the general state of bright-shiny-lust among certain tech bloggers. I’m not against technology moving forward, nor do I have any problem with The Next Big Thing(tm). I’m just wondering why we can’t be happy with what we already have. I mean if you told me five years ago that my phone would also have a camera, well you know….

Anil Dash has kicked off Earth Day with Last Year’s Model – a tribute to great technology that stands the test of time and for fighting the urge to run out and buy the newest toys. Let’s all save some Styrofoam peanuts and packing tape – not to mention some landfill space – and keep what we already have.
