Ok looking around my room for something to write about nearest thing too me my Nintendo DS, that's a pretty neat bit of design. Its says here “why is it we want our belongings to do more for us than function well?” Personally I'm happy with my Nintendo DS the way it works and looks, but I suppose other people will want them to look good at the same time. They can show it off to all there friends, work colleges etc.
The latest version is cool therefore I'm now cool for having it and everyone will be not as cool as me because they don't have the new version they've all got the older versions which aren't as cool any more. I believe it works something like that if you have the latest version of something you are cool until a new one comes out.
“Why are we willing as soon as we can afford it to pay extra for things with appealing forms”, easy answer because it probably looks better. It will do the same thing as the old version, just it will look better. I can use the Nintendo DS as a great example because I still have the original when it came out never really cared for the Nintendo DS lite. (soon to be replaced with the Nintendo DSI third in the Nintendo DS generation) The Nintendo DS lite looks better but I don't feel I have to buy a Nintendo DS lite just because it looks better because my Nintendo DS does all the same things as a Nintendo DS lite would do, only extra features I can think of are it has a bigger stylus, cover for the GBA slot and a adjustable brighter screen. Maybe when it breaks I'll consider getting a Nintendo DS lite, but it hasn't broken yet. Other people may want to upgrade as soon as a new one comes out and they'll probably will be cool for doing so.
