I certainly think humans in general have a problem with buying without thinking about any consequences these actions might have. This includes things like buying the newest  iphone model or buying a new car. But I do think this line between wants and needs  can become fuzzy at some points. This can be especially true when it comes to technology. Technology has become an essential part of all human life and can now be considered a need in some cases. So when it comes to buy the newest technology, it’s hard to tell the difference between a want  or a need. For example, I really wanted a laptop but also needed it for school in some ways. People need to understand when something is truly needed and when it is just something they want. Especially when it comes to technology.
