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?

I think having the latest technology is more of a want than a need. We already have really cool and innovative technology, so why more? Making more updated and intelligent devices can cause more pollution in our atmosphere from factories. I really think the majority of the world is addicted to new technology, especially people in more technology advanced places. Breaking an addiction to new technology can be difficult, but I just think keeping a device for longer than two years can help. For example, I've kept my iphone 6 for over 2 years and the 10 is already out. I don't really care to buy a more updated one. If more people start doing this, maybe this will make a good impact on our environment.

i completely agree many peoples carbon footprint was high because they charge all there electronics and keep them charging for more than needed. electronics are a want so why destroy our atmosphere for something you don't need?
