Needs are something that is thought to be necessary or essential required for life. For example, as human, we need to food to eat and keep healthy. Water to drink to avoid from died of thirsty. Shelter to live for protection. And clothing to wear and keep us warm. If we don't have those, we can die for different situations.

On the contrary, wants are something that human desired to have and are not necessary to have. For example, entertainment, travel, designed clothing, video games, electronics, and so on. People can live without those things, however some people have desire for too much things. The reason for that can be because of pleasure and jealousy. Various people have different pleasure, but mostly it is for comparison to others.

There should be a clear difference in everyone's eyes about what they want or need because there are many people who buy things continuously saying that they need and not that they want.  That's a huge difference!

There is a severe addiction to technology that is growing in the more recent generations. Basic human needs are things that someone could physically not survive without. Human wants are something that you want, but could definitely live without. It's very distorted when people are unknowing of the huge difference between needing something and wanting something.

Soon, half of the things on the want section are going to go extinct as there are more  accessible and easy to find online versions of the other things. The addiction to technology is only growing stronger. The problem is that for a lot of people, they see things in the want section as a need, causing an insane demand for these things, while some go without the needs.

Yes, I agree. Many people want things, mostly new technology, and then they say they need it. But is it really necessary to have the latest phone, or a new computer every year? Many of the things you want now, you won't want later, or you will barely use it if you buy it. Many people want and buy these things just to get a simple pleasure, not realizing they are taking for granted the things they already have.

I agree. Like most people said here, many people want things that they don't need, For Example, new latest technology, etc. One of the reasons why people want to get things that they don't need is that they want to fit the society. or like they want to be "cool" and stuff. But they don't realize that they are affecting the environment in a bad way.
