Is having the newest technology a need or a want.  It depends on who you ask.  I believe that having new items such as a phone or an Xbox would be a want, since you do not NEED these items to survive.  Personally I don't think that people always need the newest upgrade or model, yes it may come with new gadgets and gismos, but are those really necessary or do you just want the pleasure of having them.  I don't think all technology has an impact on the environment, but the way we make this technology and get the resources definitely has a huge impact on our environment.  If you become addicted to modern day technology, a way to break your addiction is getting out of the house and leaving your phone.  Go on an adventure, look at the world around you and see how beautiful it is.

I agree William going outside and getting away can help a lot with not only the environment and some people's addiction but everybody in a physical way.
