I think that needing new technology depends on the person, some might need it due to disabilities. I get a new cell phone every two years, I don’t really consider the environmental impact. And I'm not addicted to the point where I need my phone everywhere.

I agree that new technology depends on the person. But even using a phone has a environmental impact almost everything we use is created from things that hurt the planet.

technology is very helpful but destroys parts of the world because of climate change.

If you are getting a new phone every 2 years, I don't think that that has a huge impact on the environment. Don't get me wrong, everything we do has an impact, but sometimes you don't have as big of an impact as you think. And, I do agree that sometimes technology depends on the person, for example, my little sister needs an iPad to communicate with us because of her disability. But we should always try to consider if what we are doing will have an impact on Climate change and how big of an impact that would be.
