Having technology in this generation is a need, I say this because kids can’t get through life without some sort of contact with the outside world. I don’t get a new cell phone very often. I only get a new cell phone when mine is no longer working in the way is it meant to work i.e.; the battery doesn’t charge or the screen is broken. I didn’t need a new model of the phone. No, I do not think about the environmental impact of getting a new phone but i do not throw away my old phones because they have use still. If you are addicted to your phone you can break your addiction by not using your phone for a predetermined amount of time. Have your guardian or parent take it away from you and let them decide when you are fit to have it back.

I agree. In this day and age, having access to technology is definitely a need. You don't necessarily need to get the newest Iphone or computer that comes out, but at least something to communicate and interact with others who might not live near you.

I believe it is a want
