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?

Technology
I have an addiction to technology, news about it, discussions and stuff like that. I also like being on my phone a lot, I try to stray away from it to talk to my friends while walking somewhere, often listening to music can make me feel disconnected to anything else around me. I don’t buy a lot of stuff anyways, I can deal with having a terrible phone. To resolve my addiction, I will try and keep my phone away while I don’t need it and not check on it once every 2 minutes.
When I go for a walk in a natural setting it's useful for me to leave the phone at home so that it doesn't interfere with that outdoor experience.
