I think that technology is mostly a want. Many people buy the new Amazon Alexa, Ipads, and Play Stations for entertainment. Those new technologies are more of a want because they aren't necessary in our everyday life. I understand why technology can be a need. For example, majority of workers depends on computers and their phones to get their job done. I need a phone to get updates in my classes and to seek help from my classmates when I have questions about school. The answer for "Is technology a want or a need?" depends on the intentions of the person.

Technology is a need because as we grow technology become more advanced and we rely on it to work. Look at the computer, it can be used as a source of entertainment and work.

Technology is not a need. Humans have survived for many years without it. However, technology has increased the average human lifespan and just made life easier. (such as the washing machine and oven)

I disagree, technology is a need. In the ancient times, the wheel was a new tech, look how useful it has proven itself. Iron, copper, steel, tools, everything around you is technology. And the growth of its knowledge is exponential. Those original technologies are what allows us to further our understanding of the world. One day the items you mentioned, will be essential for human development.

Technology, to start with at least, is a need, in society as it is now that is. However, you don't need to get a new phone or new computer every year, just when the one you have stops functioning.

I agree, but I think it just depends on what it is for. Like when you were discussing the work and school. It may be  a need. But also what technology it is.

I think technology is a strong want bordering on necessity. It is slowly edging more toward being a need because of how new societies are built, including the fact that I am using technology to express my opinion as opposed to discussing my ideas with someone in person.

i think that technology is becoming more and more a need: it's impossible to live if you don,t have it (in the reach countries), but it's not needed to buy a new product. Sometimes you have to get a new one because the oldest doesn't work any more.. An example is when your phone has to upgrade and you cannot do it because you  have no more memory. Besides playing some games (playstation, xbox, ...) helps you to release the stress.

I agree with @shayanameg. Technology is a WANT. It is something you can live without. I agree that this day and age we use technology for EVERYTHING, and that it might be hard to live without it. Everyone talks to everyone on their iPhone or whatever the latest Apple product is. But, it is possible. You can live an everyday life without a phone, or a computer at your fingertips. A need is something that you can absolutely live without. For example, food and water. Those are things that we need to survive, or we would die. Technology wouldn't fit in that category

I think that technology is a need especially now that we are more modernized. I say this because we need technology for many things. One thing we need it for is to keep up, for example, if we did not have technology we could not tell if there was a tornado or we would not know the time. On the other hand, some technology is there for fun like everybody said pcs, Playstations, iPhones are all for entertainment and communication.

It depends on what we use technology for. If we are using it for work and school then yes it can be a need, and if we are using it just for social media and games then its a want. social media can make technology a need to because like google it helps us search things up we do not know and want to learn about.

I fully agree with this because people more use technology for a want more than they need it. Like you said technology is both a need and a want. I say this because it helps further and make stuff like agriculture better and more sustainable. For our growing population we need more and more food. The better technology can help us get the food that we need.
