But will you still love me tomorrow?
Article Abstract:
Design has taken on a significant role in UK society. It makes people constantly desire new items, even though they probably already own at least one of that particular item already, and enters into all parts of modern life. People become overwhelmed by yearning for the latest model of a particular item, such as a computer or a mobile phone, and believe that it will solve all their problems. They seek all the latest features, even though they will probably make very little use of them.
