Beware of the Pied Piper of technology
Envy is a feeling of discontent, resentment, and begrudging, aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities or luck. It’s simply desiring the resources and opportunities 
someone else has so that we can purchase and create the life we fantasize about.
We may not want a person’s specific home, vehicles, talents or spouse, but we may want their finances
