Abstract: Bangladesh, one of the world’s least developed countries (LDCs), is often better known to the outside world as a country of natural calamities. Since its independence in 1971, Bangladesh has experienced many ups and downs, but over the past three decades, its gross domestic product (GDP) has grown at an impressive rate. Consequently, the country’s economy is developing. This article explores the relationship between technology and consumption in rural Bangladesh. A qualitative research method was used, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations. This study finds that technology has rendered aspects of daily life more convenient.
