Or, tablet. Yes, I’m probably the only person on earth who doesn’t own a phone right now, but that’s going to change and not because I want to, but because I feel left behind. Fashion and shopping in general is becoming increasingly easier due to the whole “phone worshiping” movement. Malls in China already have phone technology that can even locate a person within any retail spot, and offer discounts for any given store at any time. Hong Kong malls have already adopted retail technological advances that gives consumers unique options. China has passed the United States in becoming the top country with the most i-phone and android mobile users. To accommodate the growing population of mobile savvy users, more upscale malls have popped up offering one-off shopping incentive deals and interactive entertainment to keep them inside the malls.

I’m starting to wonder  whether or not my purse will become a needed accessories.  Think about it for a second. Your money doesn’t need to be physical anymore;  not with Google wallet , PayPal,  and various apps that allow you to pay bills directly. We still need our bank  cards but something tells me that soon will go extinct as well. I was with my friends in New York and noticed at diner that two women at the table behind us where not talking to each other. They both where sitting across from one another “fiddling” with their phones for like a good hour. I pointed it out to my friends and they actually saw nothing wrong with it! Instead, they treated ME like I was weird and continued to poke fun at me for the remainder of the trip for noticing how technology is slowly diminishing our etiquette and even  ACTUAL communication with people. Oh, well, it’s inevitable, and that’s the sacrifice  for convenience… plus I was able to tune my friends out by listening to music on my tablet so yeah, TECHNOLOGY ROCKS!
