Do you ever feel we may have too much choice these days? Personally, I say this from a gaming perspective as the sheer overwhelming number of games available can sometimes make it impossible to make a decision. This, ofcourse, can be the same for other things such as books, music and films, amongst others.
Is this a good or a bad thing though? The sheer choice could be considered as a wealth of possibilities that we, as a modern society, have become accustomed to expect. Boredom will never be an issue again it would seem!
On the other hand however, if you simply can't buy everything, then this leaves you feeling more pressured to buy the right thing and also reluctant and hesitant to make a purchasing mistake. Also, even if you can buy everything you want, are you then getting the value for money from what you buy?
For instance, if you buy an item but then something else grabs your eye, it can be so easy to move on and forget your previous purchase without even a second thought. This item you bought for £** is then condemned to the darkest corners of your attic, never to be seen again. We as consumers have then actively bought something, not seen it to its true potential and are therefore effectively somewhat chucking our money away.
Shopping used to be so much simpler.
