To be honest I don't see a big chance of us stopping being the throwaway society because it would be really really hard. We are used to throwing out stuff we don't need, when it's broken or when the new model of something comes out. This isn't the best thing to do considering how much of those things isn't recycled but this is how our market works. Electronics are made to last couple of years and after that they tend to slow down or just break down so we have to buy a new one. Big companies are controlling the whole market and we don't really have anything to say about it. That's why we won't stop being the throwaway society until we will change our mindset.
Does art have to be beautiful? In my opinion it doesn't. I think that some works of art just can not be beautiful. For example there are some incredible movies that are considered art but can't be beautiful because you can't really call a movie about some hard topics like war or murder beautiful. Another thing is that some pieces of art aren't made to look nice but for example to make people think about something or show them how our world changes. This is why In my opinion art doesn't always have to be beautiful.
The question was really about how probable it is for us to "change our mindset". You described the current reality in detail and accurately, suggesting that this mindset has little chance to change. So after reading the whole paragraph, your last sentence is rather confusing.
