By “luxury(奢侈品)”, we mean "a pleasant and often expensive thing that is not necessary". From a historical point of view, things which were a luxury when they first came into being all became necessities later.
Anything, no matter luxurious it is, will become a necessity, when it is widely used. This is true of many of the present luxuries, among which mobile phones, cars, computers and many other things (include). It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is (make) things easy for the mankind, not for only small number of people. , the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit many people as possible.
