I believe having the latest technology is definitely a want but we treat it as a need. I constantly feel the need to be on my phone, checking my facebook and texts and i can even spend hours looking through my old photos on my phone, increasing my addiction until i feel as if can't live without it. I generally uprade my phone about every 8 months to keep up with the latest technology when i didn't even really need a new phone at all. Whenever I do this, I never consider the environmental impact of upgrading or getting a new phone because I am to excited to own the coolest new technological device that apple has created. Lately i've been trying to break away from my phone and computer addiction by turning off my devices and leaving the room to go on a run or read a book and it actually has been working for me. Yes i still desire technology but i know when its time to put it away and look up from the phone. Just turning it off and putting it away can truly help.
