Wants or Needs?

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?

Technology

I realised that my carbon footprint is big because of wants, not needs. Everything can be reduced with ambition. Beside the water and electricity consumption, I noticed that my family's footprint is large because of the technology, ours phones and laptops are used permanently. We consume a lot of GB and it is a want. I decided to use those just when I need help and to change them just when a major defect appear.

I am convinced that in the society we live in, each person benefits from the advantages and disadvantages of the technology, because each person has a mobile phone or has ever gone to the street looking at the big screens with commercials. I learned that my carbon footprint is influenced by this branch and I was completely surprised. Humanity evolves through intelligent devices, but destroys the planet as well, recording a large carbon footprint of society.
