Story of Stuff

I found it surprising about the computers and how one little piece is changed in order to make a new computer, and you can't simply replace it because it's a different shape. I mean business wise that's clever but it's sad how we as people have to feel like we should constantly have the latest thing. I don't know how I feel about Black Friday. I've always thought it was kind of ironic how we have a day to be thankful for everything we have and the very next day people are at stores punching each other out for things they want. I mean I've done Black Friday before too. But I think it's becoming ridiculous. People are getting so violent just for something they will throw away later. This video was kind of an eye opener as to how people can just care so much about materialistic things, and it opened my eyes a lot on how I need to be more grateful for all the things I already have.

I agree with the irony of black friday, it's just a way to get people to pay for something they wouldn't normally buy, they just get caught up in the frenzy so they also can't look closer at the "deal" they're getting.
