I believe having the latest technology is a want because nowadays, people can’t be without their electronics.  We all want to have the latest iPhone or Macbook, because our old electronics aren’t good enough anymore.  For me, my family and I have this sprint plan where each year we pay the phones up, we get a new one.  At first, I wanted to have the new iPhone 7 but I realized how much money it was and what a waste to have.  The new iPhone did not have a headphone jack, requiring you to use your charger port as the headphone.  I didn’t realize how technology impacted the environment because more and more people are buying new technology.  Technology affects the environment because as the new phones became popular, people felt the urge to have more.
