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?

Reduce
I personally have issues with always wanting the newest technology. I got my phone upgrade last year but I find myself wanting the new iphone 6s. I think a way we can all reduce the constant purchasing of new technology is to only get new technology once a year, and to keep in mind the individual impact we make on our environment.
I disagree with you, I think that getting new technology once a year is not sustainable at all, and it is just a want. I use to have an iPhone 4s, I got it when I was 11, and I just changed it for a new phone this year, and right now, I am 15 years old, so phones can last if you take care of them properly. Changing your phone or lap top once a year is just a want, and I do not think we should do that, we should try to use our technological devices for as long as possible.
I disagree with you too, i also think you opinion is not sustainable at all. I use to have a Samsung for 2 years but it broken in accident so i have to buy a new cell phone, so i want to say if you have a cell phone the you should keep it safely until it is the time to get a new,i think this is a sustainable way.
