I think having the latest technology is definitely a want. You can survive without having the newest technology that comes out but to a certain extent. When it comes to phones,tablets, Computers etc. But to the extent of new and advanced medical technology and things like that we do need. It could help to cure incurable fatal diseases etc.

I probably get a new phone/MP3 player every year or year and a half. I don't need a new model most of the phone most of the time unless I like completely shatter it or drop it in the toilet or something to where I can't use it at all. I really don't consider the environmental impact of them but I know I should. Me personally, I wouldn't say that I'm addicted but for the people who could possibly be addicted I would say maybe to take a few days or maybe a week or so to just be away from all technology,phones etc.

I really like your post! You explained everything perfectly.We can survive with out the newest technology.

I really like the way you explained everything. We really don't need the newest technology
