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?

Is Technology a want or a need?
In my personal opinion I love technology but my love for technology may have a pour effect on the climate. For example when we order items online for the items to get to our house they often have to go from a car to a plane to a car or a train to another car which has a major effect on the amount of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. So is it really worth it to have something that you think is fun but can do without, or would you rather not add to the damage in the climate.
I agree because technology seems great when we are using it but I don't think we realize the impact it is having on the environment. It isn't a need because it hurts the environment and people lived and survived without technology for years. I love to shop online because I don't have to go out of my house and I can get exactly what I want but when I am ordering items I don't think of how much carbon dioxide will be released from that order. Although technology is a great tool and helps us with many different things it is very bad for the environment and that is why it isn't a need.
