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? >
A Desire, But Not Necessary
Buying the latest cell phone or tablet model isn't a necessity and required to live. It is a luxury that we can afford, but do not need. If you own an older phone model that still works and has the functions you need or want, keep it! There is no use in buying the latest model of a phone when you have a perfectly fine older model. By refraining from buying a new phone, you can save resources that can be used for something more important, and reduce waste by keeping your older phone!
