Why are more features constantly been added to the mobile phone?why are more features constantly been added to the mobile phone? Cameras, Video...

There also is another side to the equation. People want these new features. There is what I call a cult of novelty in America. We get sick of things, even good things, because they are old. Companies are great at capitalizing on this. Also, they through advertising companies create this type of atmosphere, so that we want these things more and more. The culture is so much like this, that rarely do companies build things the way they used to. For example, companies know that people will not use a computer for more than 4 years. So, why would they build something to last much longer? As long as it last for 4 years, that is all they need. In this way they are able to save money and make more. In short, we are in a vicious cycle. We are sold things that we really do not need. Just look at the economy. This is my opinion.
