Step-by-step explanation:
This statement could be interpreted in a number of ways. For example, it could show how humanity has become greedy and obsessed with luxuries that they feel as if they cannot live without it. For example, having a phone. This could also represent how time has passed and how both our necessities and luxuries change (depending where you live). For example, having a TV in the early 30's and/or 40's having a TV was a luxury but by the time of the 60's (or 70's I think) almost every family already had one.
