hello, my name is Sonni and I'am 17 and from North Carolina. I think having the latest technology is a need and people long before 2000 lived perfectly fine without the latest technology. I  also think that phones in particular are the reason why we have a huge problem with bullying in schools and now that its gorton so serious theres now Cyberbullying.  nearly 1 to 3 students (27.3%) are bullied in schools, but the percentage in cyberbullying its 34% and causes students to go into depression. I personally use my phone a lot, its like an addiction and sometimes I just put my phone down for like an hour and I go outside with my brother for a bit or I go on my computer and play some games .  I have a Iphone 6s and I feel like I don't need a newer model if the newer one is the same size but has no home button and some extra features.I also think that the high purchases on phones and computers  don't affect the environment because it doesn't produce any toxins, but socially yes it does.
