Guys/girls, help me out here. Why do people like showing off their gadgets such as smartphones, cameras etc? I mean I can understand if it is something that very few people have, like for example a rare Hermes Birkin bag that costs at least $20,000. But electronic gadgets I can’t understand since everyone has them and they’re not exactly expensive. Is there an unwritten social decorum somewhere here that I am missing?

Because materialism makes people feel good about themselves.
Anything new be it a toilet brush or a new iphone its going to bring a smile to your face.
This need for posessions is shortlived after a week or so they get over it. Its like children, take two siblings for instance one starts playing with a toy the other got three christmas' ago and yet the other child is hell bent on trying to get that toy back because all of a sudden it looks exciting again. This is the same when we are adults, a prime example is in the film american psycho where all the men show off there new business cards. Anything new is worth the show off in the human minds opinion. Just like the Hermes Birkin handbag. Some people like new some like vintage but at the end of the day we are all responsible for showing off.
