A needed purchase

Do our lifestyles accommodate our consumer products, or do the consumer products accommodate our lifestyles? Technologies are advancing, yet certain ones aren’t. We understand motive, at the very least, the incentive, after seeing that some of these discoveries are held back for the way some things are in place now. Who should control that? There is time when progress for our civilization is going to be needed, and not for profit, but for our civilizations advancement in facing survival. These new products and new ways will never be seen in our current standard of practice, not until some profit can be made by a business, and that profit being more advantageous than the last product of influence provided. These ways need to be addressed alarmingly. When our ways start to revolve around these specific products, then life itself begins to revolve around these products being produced. Even when we escape we are using these products provided to do so. In demand, very few no longer provide the make shift or craftsmen abilities for ourselves. The life lived now is dependent and unobtainable without a paid or exploited group effort from people making these things. Even the homeless that have no means of money live through these products. The fact is we think we need these products to live, which some (most) may in fact need, has made our lifestyle dependent on the people making available and providing these products. We are not as free as we think, unless we can free ourselves from these products. This cannot happen all at once. All involved we chip into what we think needs to be done, for our way of life, whether these ways of life are now being controlled in our best interest or not we need to start realizing the direction. Does it look like we have our best interest in mind?
