Wants or Needs?

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?

Things humans said they need ...

All the time, humans said that they need things irrelevant, like a new phone, new clothes, new cars, etc. But they don't know that with this things they are creating more pollution.

I disagree with you. No everything new produce pollution. Some of them even help to reduce it. And irrelevant might become a need for people in the future.

Hi everyone! I'm Martina from Switzerland.
I think that this a very interesting theme. Both of you have some quite good ideas. Many humans always ask for new things even when old can still be useful that's because we are affected by many advertisement, and I think that's what can create pollution. On the other hand now we can do recycling or, if we talk about a phone, we can bring it back at the store. 
It's true that irrelevant might become a need for people in the future, but sometimes we use this kind thinks in a wrong way.
We are to much addicted, and addiction not always brings good.

I like your point of view Martina, it is true, today we people are always being manipulated by advertisements that make us thing that in order to be cool or popular we must have the best and newest things. And this is a really big problem because a lot of people fall for these ads and go and buy the product the day after. We need to start being smarter when it comes to buying products, and we always need to stop and think, "Do I really need this product?"

I like  you point of view Anndre, because it's true. All the days we strive to have the best things like the new phone, clothing that is fashionable, the tv that have more inches, etc. but we don't need it.
We know that tecnology always be one step ahead of us. If today you have the iphone number 6, in 2 months leave the 7. We have to differentiate the things that we need to the things that we want because other people have .

Hi everyone. My name is Min Hyuk from Guatemala. This topic has a lot of point of views which makes it interesting to discuss or debate with others. Everyone of us have say the truth about new technology. But as some people point out that not all of the "new" technology is bad because some of them are seeking to reduce pollution in some way. In the other hand the "new" technology can be bad by hurting the environment in some way. But this topic has a lot of point of views, which can vary depending on how people see the "new" technology and how is used.
