USA a Materialistic Society?

The United States is by far the most materialistic society that has ever existed. America is filled with materialistic people, with me being one to some extent. I enjoy having brand name clothes, up to date technological devices, and many other things. People in America are consumed with having materialistic things. It's hard to go a week without seeing any of my friends, who hasn't purchased new cell phone, an Abercrombie and Fitch polo, or whatever it may be.

In other countries, they might not have had the means to buy these possessions. I don't think these people have the need or desire to have things such as we Americans do. In other cases it could be against their religious beliefs to have such items. They probably question why we need these things, and what purposes
