Wants or Needs?

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?

Midge_2010

OK so here's the thing. I don't really get anything new regarding technology. I got my first phone around my 11th birthday. I'm 14 now turning 15 and my ancient IPhone SE just broke, so guess what I got? A hand me down that wasn't used except by someone else, who, just got a different phone and didn't want to use it anymore. I never had technology other than that phone of mine unless it was the school Chromebooks that I was given to protect with my life. So I never really got a new model, and if anything I got a model DOWN form my old one, if that's even possible. The phone I have now is ANCIENT, and when I say ancient, I mean it. I've never gotten the new model or anything so that really wasn't a need, it was a want. But I'm a busy person and needed to stay in contact with my family, so in a way it kind of was a need in a certain way. And if I did get an upgrade I probably wouldn't have considered the environmental impacts they had. It was something I wanted and something I had, so I would use it and not consider what it could do to the environment. If I was addicted I don't really know what I would do to get off of it. I kind of need my phone for EVERYTHING I do so it would be really hard to try to change that.
