The Story of Stuff

It seems that lately (well the term "lately" might be a little underestimated but i'll allow myself to use it for now) we've been liking the word "instantly" a little too much. Some of us may like the word "now" better, while others might prefer "new" or "improved"; but there is no question that almost all of us have been having a love affair with the term "updated". Don't get me wrong, it is indeed a fancy word with lots of potential, but I can't help to wonder how much truth does it really hold in our lives? (and when I say "lives" I mean the things that are really important and not the mere objects that surround them.)

If you feel a little confused and would like to understand my reckless mumbling (cause I am aware that I mumble a little too much) I suggest you check these links. It will be much clearer, I promise.
