The pressure from advertisers to acquire the latest techno toys (eg., the adverts for mobile phones that take groovey photos) is very strong. Its a part of being cool, fashionable, free or postmodern. So this is quite salutory.

I don't see the need for a camera in my mobile phone so I don't get one. Technology for me is a tool, not a toy.
