• Can consumerism have any positive effects, or is it mostly harmful?

Sometimes consumerism can provide comfort, as some people soothe themselves by buying new items

If we think iPhone is a symbol of consumerism, then seems that consumerism has more positive effects than negative ones.

回復 @啊啊是誰都對：Why can iPhone be seen as a symbol of consumerism? I cannot understand the relationship🤔

回復 @淺風仁櫻：Because before iPhone, phones are only expected to contact others with phone-numbers. But iPhone (and the App system) create many other needs.
