Being A Prosumer

Okay, so Monday the 17th of March 2025 and you know the thing that I love about being a prosumer right is that it gives me and again for anybody who doesn't know a prosumer is like a consumer right but a prosumer is somebody who effectively like you know as well as

consuming products they also create products right and this is kind of like generally speaking the thing that I love about being a prosumer is that it effectively expands my appreciation for how things are made and the resources that are required to bring certain things to life and you know

it also effectively boosts my you know the attitude to effectively preserve the things that I put my money on. It also kind of develops a healthier appetite for my need to consume and my need to spend my money on things that I want, materialistic stuff and stuff like that, right? You know, because nowadays it seems as though like, you know, when it comes to retail therapy, there's a toxic element to retail therapy that I fear people are not talking about enough. And it's in the fact that people just effectively buy something, they put it down, after about five days it gets boring and then they want to buy something else. So that need is never

really quenched or fulfilled. But as a prosumer, somebody who understands or values how something is made, it puts me in a position where it actually gives me an opportunity to look back at all of the things that I have. And I'm looking at my office right now, I'm looking at my speakers, my microphone, my computer, my hard drive, I'm looking at the video games that I've got and I'm asking how were all of these things made? What sort of like trouble did somebody have to go through to get that product from the conception of their idea to the reality

where I'm not able to buy it and exchange my cash for this product and what is the value that comes within it as well? It puts me in a position where I can appreciate you know what I have more and effectively kind of like spend my money a little less and effectively enjoy the things that I have more. Why not want to be a prosumer? Why not want to engage in the process of being a creator and come up with your own products, I mean, it's just effectively like a no-brainer.
