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?

Is having the latest technology really necessary?
I definitely think that having the latest technology is a want. It can be nice to get a new model of something but it is not necessary. I got my first phone in seventh grade and I still use it. I don't want a new model because I like the phone I have now and to make phones, manufacturers have to extract raw materials from the earth. If people are constantly buying new phones, the raw materials continue to be extracted and this can harm our environment. If you are addicted to getting new technology, you should learn to be grateful, and consider how you are negatively affecting the planet you live on.
