Having new technology can be displayed differently depending on culture and times. For example, in the US, advertisement from companies makes it seem as though the next new product is a need. A major company that exhibits this is Apple. Most of the time the new updates are gone unnoticed or unnecessary. The iPhone X now has a sideways camera and a glass back. Although the glass is described as durable it doesn’t seem like a smart change and the camera design seems pointless. In the past I have only gotten new technology when the one I had before broke down. I have an iPhone 7 currently and had my iPhone 6 before that for 3 years. I probably could’ve had that one for longer, except that I dropped it in water. When deciding to purchase new technology one needs to keep in mind the environmental effect, the benefits of having it, and whether it is truly worth it at the time if something new will just come out a year later.

You're right, Emma. Technology evolves so quickly, no matter if these major changes are needed or not. Personally, I change my phone every 2 years, but I'm not so passionate about the latest technology. Of course, I like to test the new phones, but I do not want them so much. So, together we can make a change!
