Stuff →

In industrialized countries the same thing happened with food in the middle of the twentieth century. As food got cheaper (or we got richer; they’re indistinguishable), eating too much started to be a bigger danger than eating too little. We’ve now reached that point with stuff. For most people, rich or poor, stuff has become a burden.

This is not Mac specific, per se, but it is an excellent summation of some of the what’s and why’s that drive what I do here. Worthwhile read.
