Well,i really didn't get what u mean but even in olden days people were materialistic...u see people fight in olden days for money ,kingdom ,possesion n for many other bad reasons.The only difference i feel is that besides becoming materialistic we r now becoming insensitive n loveless.

In my opinion people are becoming more materialistic well I think "Technology" play the big part of this. The more Technology improves and develope the more people would become more materialistic.(we're living in a material world).

yep I think that's true !! but there is still some others that don't give a damn to the money !!
