Yeah, not bad, though it's a bit too individually centered for my taste, and just a bit exaggerated (like there were no digital cameras before smartphones). I'd add:

"I bought solid products and I expected them to last more than a couple years. I didn't hear my friends say that for the environment, they changed their fridge only every 2 years and a half. I didn't like all the advertising in the street or on TV, but at least I was in peace at home. I could listen for a CD in my living room peacefully, without an add in between each song or even in the middle. I had heard about kids working in African mines, but what could I do about it? I didn't have an object in my pocket that has a direct impact on them, as well as on the pollution of my county's main river because of the chip manufacture. It's not that I absolutely need this object, it's that it is very convenient (and everybody has one anyways, and they make fun of me if I don't)."

Please a good writer make it sound more friendly :)
