Good question! There have been not just one, but many effects with the rise of these two subjects. Let's begin with the essential factors that caused the rise in consumism:

Mass production.Mass advertising.Massive credit approval.And economic prosperity.

These 4 factors are the perfect formula to create a consumist society, which in return gives us the following effects, some good but some terrible:

Massive contamination.Raised standard for average living/household.Continuous encouragment to adquire new goods.

Now, regarding the new technologies we mostly can say that the positive effects weight a lot more than the negative effects.

Assembly lines are faster, which increases the supply of new products. Almost everyone now can have a phone, or a TV, or a car.Technological innovations have increased manufacturing efficiency.Life expectancy rates are much higher now.Rapid consumption of resources.Day-to-day simplification

Let's not forget that we are quickly consuming resources from our planet Earth. The best society is an ecologic and sustainable society :)

Happy holidays!
