Having the latest technology is a want more than a need. You need technology to learn new things and stay updated with the world but, you want new technology because they promote it and make you feel like you need to have the newest technology to be on the same page as everyone. I think that people become fixated on there phone and want to check every 20 seconds because they are addicted to it. Because of this addiction it is hard to break from and therefore becomes more of a want.

I agree that technology is a need but is created into a want because people start to rely on technology for too much. Technology is a great way to communicate with other people and is a quick way to learn new information. However, I definitely agree that technology can become a kind of addiction, when we constantly check our phones or rely on it to be our main form of entertainment. I also think that advertisements and the media cause many people to want to always get the latest technology even when they don’t always need it. I think that people are pushed to think that the latest model of technology is a necessity when in reality, it’s probably not that different from their older model. When people are deciding on getting the latest technology, it is important to think about if the newer one is really that different from the one you already have and if you really need it.
