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? >
Needs to some extent
It is almost impossible to get by in life without a cell phone or a TV or a laptop. It may seem streched a bit, but think about it. As students, so much demand is put on us to be up to date with global issues. We cannot possibly accomplish this task without a TV (news) or at least a cellular device with Internet connection. Many would argue that past generations have done so so we do not have a valid excuse. But we do: we are expected to have social debates, we are expected to research nations and type a three page essay-double spaced- in MlA format, we are expected to turn in current event articles every week. These assignments would be all impossible had we not had the use of the Internet at hand. Unless of course we were fortunate enough to travel to every destination we needed to write an essay about.
