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?
Wants or Needs? >
Wants or needs
I think that now there is not a very defined line between wants and needs. We have become so use to having the things that we want that they start to feel like needs. We become obsessed with the extras in life to the point that we don't know haw to function without them. The biggest example of this is technology. We are so used to having a phone and a computer that we don't know how to function without it. We are so dependent on our gadgets that we feel lost with out them.
I agree with Grace. At times, we are so dependent on our technology that we can't function without it!
