Companies introduce new products regularly and encourage customers to replace their old products with these new models. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Consumer culture is increasingly built around the promise of novelty. Each year, companies release new phones, clothes, appliances, and vehicles, encouraging customers to view last year’s model as inadequate even when it still functions well. Although regular product innovation can bring certain benefits, I believe this trend is largely negative because it promotes wasteful consumption, environmental damage, and unhealthy psychological habits.
