Is having the latest technology a want or a need?
How often do you get a new cel phone or mp3 player? Did you really need a new model? Do you consider the environmental impact of these purchases? If you are addicted, how can you break your addiction?

wants or needs?
In my opinion, especially in the last century, our purchases are guided by companys.
Thinking about how fast fashion changhe... To follow our society' standarts you need to buy new clhotes every months. Maybe you don't new stuff, but we keep up buying clhotes, jewels or the lastest iphone model. Society confuses us about wants or needs. Before buying we should understand what are our needs and our wants.
this doesn't mean that new technologies are not useful, we just don't need the lastest model of every object.
I agree. I think it is crucial to discern whether something is a need or want. Modern-day society is heavily driven by consumerism. Fashion and technology trends constantly shift, and society pushes individuals to have the latest and greatest. Consistently buying whatever is trending certainly harms the environment.
I agree that humans are purchasing products that are devastating our environment without even knowing it. Due to the social standard where you have to have the best products.
I agree that humans are purchasing products that are causign devastating impacts on our environment without even acknowledging it. Because of the social standard where you have to always be on the top of all social productions- clothes, phones, etc.
I agree, furthermore a lot of the people who don't do this are made fun of for not having the latest iphone for example.
