Most, if not all, businessmen do not use complicated smart phones but settle to use the primitive gadgets for their business affairs, while most of us, students especially, of regular class, are dying to avail new release gadgets like smart phones, iPods, laptops, flat screen TVs, and many others.
Businessmen, while privileged of material wealth and can afford to buy anything, know that gadgets have nothing to do with real happiness but only adds to the growing anxiety of human behavior.
It is essential that man must go back to the fundamental realities of human existence that ultimately gives meaning to his life. Materialism can be replaced by pursuing religious, and communal concerns.
I can still remember how we spent the night with my family or friends before we go to sleep or when the supper is due for the night. We spent all the time talking, sharing stories, making jokes, and exchanging questions. That was how it used to be when gadgets were not yet there. I cannot almost imagine the shift of change which happened to my nephews and other children of today's age. The human interaction has been struck down by the growing technology and totally replaced the supposed to be attended by human relation - play and game, and is now slowly dying unknowingly telling the people.
You're against Karl Marx principle. :-)
