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 I do not get a new cell phone unless mine is outdated to the point I can’t use it, or I break mine (Luckily hasn’t happened!).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!
Its so wastful to get new devices everytime a new model comes out
We get a lot of new models and it seems that there is a very small difference between them and the older models.
The production and use of new tech so often greatly increases your carbon footprint, so it is best to limit that.
Before purchasing something new, I check if i already have something like this. Getting the new model isnt just bad for your footprint, its also expensive.
It depends on whether or not your current model is sufficient for what you do with it.
