I don't "need" Netflix, Cable TV, or a smart phone, either. But I want them, and wanting crap that I don't need is the foundation of Capitalism.

(But I don't want an Apple Watch...)

Good point. So let’s put this into perspective. For the price of a $500 Apple Watch you can alternatively buy one or more of the following:

1. 2 color laser printers
2. A reasonably-equipped ipad
3. A Samsung Galaxy phone
4. 2 entry-level laptops
5. 2 Windows tablets
6. 4 home phones
7. A decent big-screen TV
8. A decent music system
9. 2 Microsoft smart watches
10. 2 smart fitness watches
11. A dishwasher
12. A decent microwave oven
13. A washer and dryer

The list goes on forever.
