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?

Do we want or need new models?
I personally think that you do not need the latest tech. Sure it might be funner or a little more efficient in the long run, but in no way do you need it. I do not get a new cell phone unless mine is outdated to the point I can’t use it, or I break mine (Luckily hasn’t happened!). I have not personally thought of the effects this has had on the environment until I did this. I think if you’re addicted, it’s helpful to look at nature, and remember why the world around us is so beautiful! You know? Thanks for reading!
