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? >
Do we need all this stuff?
I think we don´t need all this stuff, most of the people are just addicted to buy everything new like iphone and samsung cell phone´s just because there is a new model coming out. The environmental impact of all these electronic device are very big because most of the people don´t recycle these things. I don´t think i am addicted to the latest technology i use my cell phone and other device until they brake down.
This is all but too true. How often can you see a person walk down the street without some electronic device in their hands. The fact that what we all use and use too often these items does effect the climate change. We charge those and that creates Carbon dioxide emissions that just adds to the change in the Ocean pH level as well as Global Warming.
Does it hurt so much to put down the phone and take a walk, maybe clean the environment? It is not that much of a change to enjoy time with out all the energy consuming.
Let's be honest... Do you really think the whole population is going to put down their electronics to benefit the pH levels in the ocean?
I get your point but there is no possible way to make the whole population put down their devices.
I agree with Jordan, I think that although the best picture is to have everyone stop buying and using electronic devices, but in reality this would be a very hard task to complete. I think a solution might be to make the recycling options more available for people. Like Lilja said, most people don't recycle these things because they don't know where or how the recycling options work.
I was not meaning that, but is it not impossible for a brake?
To be honest no one hangs out with friends anymore I mean with phones who needs to. No one writes letters anymore either
True but there has to be a way to lessen cell phone and electronic use
Yes this is very true. People mostly get the newest electronics to show there friends and socialize about it, but some people, very few use the newest and greats electronics for medical help or easier ways to help out with there job. Most of the old phones that you had are just left in a draw and never touched again. Other people turn in there phones for money or reuse the parts. But most of the population will never be able to put down any electronic because they are addicted.
I think putting down our electronically activated devices is a good idea. Although people are very savy with social media.

@Charlotte S: Exactly. But people have tried to educate others on recycling but frankly I don't think most people care.
No and that's the problem
