In recent years, electronic devices such as smartphones have become an essential item to all modern people. However, some experts have warned that this trend will bring about detrimental effects on the environment of society.
The main cause of this trend is the technological advancement, which is improving faster than the past. Everyday, people are exposed to newly released smartphones or laptops. Generally, these items have an out-of-date technology, so people want to buy them to enjoy convenient and better technology, even if their smartphone still works well. Not only that, nowadays, since having updated smart devices has become a way to show off themselves, people tend to buy them to show their wealthiness.
While this trend can be beneficial to the manufactures which make the devices, it has a had negative effects on society.
