Technology is that important for us?

Having the latest technology is useful in multiple ways. Not everyone realizes the time and energy it saves.

While having the latest technology can be convenient and fun, it is not a necessity. Getting the newest iPhone right when it comes out every year is not necessary. The production of these devices takes up a lot of materials and energy, and is not really beneficial to out environment. I've had the same phone for the past few years, and it's the second time that I've ever gotten a phone new and unused. It works just fine, and the software that I need still works on it. Sometimes I do wish that I had a newer model, but I don't have a need for one. It's not going to change my life and make it a whole lot better simply because it is new. Keeping the same phone for multiple years can help decrease your carbon footprint, too. Using your phone less often can also help decrease it. I know I'm definitely not the only one to connfess, I'm a bit addicted to my phone. However, I am going to try and cut back my usage in order to help the environment.
