Great insights! But I wouldn't just shrug my "need" to buy a juicer even if I have a perfectly working knife in the kitchen. It's not always about the money spent but also time. Yes, I can juice an orange with my hands and a knife but how long will it take if I can instead be writing a post on Steemit earning compared to juicing manually in the kitchen.

It's not always us vs them (the big conglomerate feeding us with new technologies). Sometimes and most of the time, they actually resolve the problem of how much time we can have with their new technologies.

Just my two cents. ;)
