 * The Problem with Modern Society**

I’ve got a problem with someone. And that someone is Black people. Just kidding, really I find bothersome is the fact that technology is advancing so fast that the purchase of something will be very soon obsolete sometimes within a few months. Take for example The Razr cell phone, everyone had one in middle school and they were so cool everyone was convinced that astronauts used them. If you have a Razr today you will look a caveman, and might as well be carrying a cup attached to a string. Why does this have to be this way? I’m sure that when the pilgrims made butter churns they lasted for several years if not generations. Why can’t we work like that? Why can’t the new cell phone or toaster oven or whatever be released when it is notably better than the last? I know this view is a bit simplistic and farfetched, but is is something to complain about.
