I'm not sure if that's what that ultimately leads to but it could very well be. As I walk about NYC I see every type of gadget and possession and everything is so heavily modified from it's original state usually. I also see some of my collegues who mod ALL their possessions, not just one, but almost like if it's stock it's not very good at all.
Thus some friends of mine that lament about some of the things that I'm able to do, buy property, go on vacations, eat out all the time, and not watch my spending habits... wonder how I do it. I look at them and all their defunct possessions (old technology that they paid top dollar for..) collecting dust and invariably no longer being used even though they are not broken.
