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?

We need to stop the acquisitive wants

timshi

Hello! I'm Tim from China. And I think this is an interesting topic to talk about.
Wants and Needs huh? What is a want? And what is a need? In my opinion, a want is something that could make our life more comfortable and a need is something that our lives demands, that we can’t live without. For example, I have an cousin about 8 years old, in grade 2 I think. The first time he saw the iPad was in about 2012.  And now he can’t live without that stupid machine. He played with it days and nights and trouble his parents a lot. The iPad was invented in 2010, and before that people had a very good life! But in the new generations, the children depend on the technology more and more and it’s changing from a WANT to a NEED! I don’t think that a good thing. Imagine this, in the future, during the Christmas, the whole family communicate with iPhone and no one even just look at each other! That horrible! But that what we are doing now! We keep indulging our bodies, our wants, we don’t think of the consequences! We keep the factories working, we keep the cars driving, we keep the d olphins dying, we keep the trees falling for our infinite acquisitive wants! That’s all unnecessary! We need to wake up, we need to start changing, we need to make the future nature better!
Taking care of the needs instead of the wants is what I want to say. Thanks for reading. smile
