I consider electronics, more specifically cell phones both a want and need. They become a need when you have to carry them for work or for safety. Safety is a big reason for possession of cell phones. However, they become a want with the demands of modern society. It's "cool" to have a cell phone because you can communicate and talk with friends, and that is the reason why most people purchase one. Cells phones have revolutionized the modern world of communication, but they aren't necessarily beneficial going back to the issue of the environmental impact they have.

I agree with you Aisha. Electrons are a want because they allow us to interact with our friends faster and social media exposes us to new things. But, it can also be a necessity because they allow us to contact people in times of trouble, so they help with safety. Phones also help information spread faster since it is easier to get.

Yes, they do. It is also important for the world to remember that electronics are tools. Yes, it is fun to use them for entertainment, but that is beside the point. When people forget that electronics are tools, they get off track. When they get off track, this also leads to addiction
