I don't think it is too much what you say, I think it is going that way, I even think that there are too many things in relation to the amount of people who may need them and it is true that many people buy for the sake of buying without any need. This case of tools applies to other areas of life and the truth is that there is a lot of everything, wasting resources.
Humans are wasteful, and there's little sign of that slowing down or changing and so there's little chance things will get batter; not in our lifetimes anyway, and probably never.
Not only are they wasteful but the trend is increasing, that is the most dangerous thing.I think it will all die out before it gets any better....
