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?
Wants or Needs? >
Technology
I think technology is somewhat a want but it can also be a need because it connects us to the outside world. It improves the way we view the rest of the world because we can easily connect with people all around. Our phones also keep us safe if we are ever out late or have to stay home alone. The games and social media apps are hardly necessary so I try to avoid them. I only get one if my old one is broken. I don’t really think about the environmental impact that much but I probably will look further into it now. I don’t think I am addicted because I can easily leave my phone alone for an entire day and actually feel much better.
