Disposable

The question that came to mind was this, "Is the idea of "disposable", compatible with the Christian worldview?"  As technology has moved further and faster along, we have become a disposable society.  Everything from furniture to electronics has become disposable.  When something wears out or breaks, we throw it away.  In the past, things were built to last, to be repaired.  For example, my parents owned a chest freezer for approximately forty years and only got rid of it because it was too large for their needs. 
It seems to me that this mentality is a consumerist mentality.  It moves us away from building something in an excellent manner, to last.  Instead, it is designed to fail in the short term, only to be replaced.  It seems to feed to idea of getting the next bigger and better thing.  It seems to pull us away from being content.  It seems to move our thinking toward being distracted with "things". 
I don't really have a conclusion or answer to this, the thought has just come to mind.
