essay, we will discuss the reason why
this
change has occurred and its effects.
Firstly
, I would like to say that technology advancement with a variety of new products attract customers. In our everyday activity,we cannot hide the fact that every equipment that we use is being modernised each day. For illustration, the washing machines we once used had 2 or 3 features but the latest invention of

has a number of features and provide us with dried clothes.
In addition
, the easiness attracts a lot of people into

.
Therefore
, customers end up buying new products which make their activity easier and satisfactory. Another point I would like to add on is the term of the items. The manufacturer's make it a point to reduce the expectancy so that the customers should come up to buy their upcoming innovations.
For example
,the mobile phones we use expires after 3 or 4 years and they make us buy their new model and throw away the old one.

a large number of electronic gadgets results in environmental pollution. One clear case can be seen in northern parts of India where electronic items are disposed in huge piles polluting the surrounding places as well as the aquatic creatures and the habitat.These are non-degradable and take several years to dispose and recycle.
Hence
, we should reduce waste and start recycling for a friendly setting for both people and other beings.
Moreover
, people waste a lot of cash on buying trending gadgets out of fascination and throw it after some point. An illustration is 'Alexa' an electronic gadget was trending for a small period made many people buy

out of interest and wasted capital. I think we should spend fund in more effective places. To conclude, the development in technology and the term of products causes us to buy new products and be part takers in their mission and it not only affects the habitat but
also
reduces the savings. I think that we should not spend on every new product that comes to the market but should be cautious in everything and spend money wisely.
