I don’t get new technology often, I usually stick with it for a while. Some people get the new model of phone or the new game console the second it comes out and that’s their choice I'm not bashing on them for that. What I think is you should get the new model of whatever and hold off for a few models OR buy a phone off of Facebook marketplace or Craigslist.

I agree with what you're saying, people buy new things as soon as possible even if what they have can still be used. I believe that this is a very unhealthy practice that humans have adopted. This should be applied, not just to electronics but to appliances in general. Unless, of course, this new technology doesn't release many or as much carbon than the model before, or it is less dangerous to use, then you should change it for your safety, and for the environment's safety. All in all, people should not get replacements for things that could still be usable.
