Having the latest technology is a want in my opinion. I believe that in some situations technology may be seen as a need such as at a some job environments like a CEO. I do not own a cell phone and I don't see it as a need. In some cases, I sometimes do wish that I had a phone, but it is only for small conveniences. I also consider these purchases as harmful for the environment because many people buy a new phone every year even though they have a good functional phone. The old phone probably goes to a dump and harms animals living near it. If you are addicted, you should download an app that locks the phone for a time, and remove social media apps from your phone.
