The world that we live in today is filled with people living the “want” culture. The things we “need” today aren’t things that were needed a few decades ago; in essence, they’re all just wants that eventually became such a big part of our lives that we feel like we can’t live without them. But the Want/Need Glass is here to teach us all a lesson.
Case in point? Mobile phones, iPods, and computers. Need I say more?
It was refreshing to see Alesina Design come up with the Want/Need Glass to remind us to keep our excessive lifestyles in check. Do you really need another sweater? Do you really need the newest Nintendo video game console?
Aside from that, it also makes a good gag gift for the unsuspecting colleague or friend.
These great-for-laughs Want/Need Glasses are available for $30 from Alesina Design.

This glass isnt under the need line so i wont buy it;)
Zastanawiam się, jak bardzo współczesny świat uzależnia nas od rzeczy, które tak naprawdę nie są nam potrzebne. Wszyscy mówimy o “chciałbym” zamiast “potrzebuję”, co prowadzi do bezsensownego gromadzenia przedmiotów. W końcu, czy naprawdę potrzebujemy kolejnego smartfona? Ciekawe, kiedy ostatnio kupiłeś coś, co naprawdę zmienia twoje życie. W tym kontekście warto zwrócić uwagę na trendy, jak vavada kasyno, które przypominają nam o balansie między potrzebami a pragnieniami. Czasami warto zatrzymać się i zastanowić, co tak naprawdę wnosi wartość do naszego życia, zamiast tylko podążać za nowinkami.
