A Sunday Consumption

My graphs are not the most fancy because I am computer retarded (my apology). So I hand rendered these bad boys and hopefully it looks clear to anyone who is looking at them. Anyway, my first graphs, my lists consist of three category of: technology must have in an average day, technology able to live without for a day or two, and basic need. My second graph is just two element, survival and useless.

My first one is basically based on what an average person would need now a day, stuff they cannot absolute live without for a day. To give some examples from my list, stuff such as papers, light, desk lights, pen, and pencils are just some of them.

My second one is based on the fact that if I was thrown into the jungle to survive like our ancient ancestors did when they only knew how to say "ooga pooga". What are the stuff I consume that is apparent to the survival and what are some just completely useless. If I was to bring an eraser into the jungle to survive, what can I do with that, erase my dangerous surrounding? Only cartoon can achieve that, and unfortunately I live in a world where that action is not possible.

To be honest, I'm not unhappy with anything I consume or was overwhelm with how much stuff there was. I don't think there was a whole lot that I can say that I can cut back from my life. Maybe other than TV? I do pay attention to what I consume normally, but not as detail as making a list of it (even though I didn't bring this up in the group discussion). I think it's because I never did have a whole lot when I was growing up, so I don't usually take things for granted (not trying to teach a lesson here, so please don't take it the wrong way). I've always pay pretty close attention to what I have and what I use. Plus, I don't have a lot of money, so that limits any crazy spending. If I did have a lot of money right now, man, talk about the stuff I would want to get, a snowboard, better snow jacket, a car, and I can go on for pages. And my second graph for survival would probably only take up less than 10 percent by then. I think sometime we consume depending on our own condition. If we were poor, I don't think any of us would be very surprise about our list, but if we were rich, then we'll see something very dramatic.
