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?

want for new technology
Technology can definitely be a want too many people because a lot of people mainly want to purchase the newest technology that is out. I rarely get the newest phones that come out until a couple of years when I can no longer use the phone I'm using at the time. I don't need the newest model unless my phone is no longer able to work. If you have an addiction to being on your phone a lot you can probably take a break from it and do something non-technology related like going on a walk.
I agree with this. I personally know many people who jump on the new iPhone as soon as it comes out. I personly only get a new phone when it's needed. taking a break from technology is a great thing. Cell phones actually have many negative effects. They can cause many distractions in the classroom, when people are driving, and many other things. Technology distracts us from the real world. Putting your phone down and going outside to walk your dog or maybe doing an art project can be very beneficial. Phones and technology is a want, not a need.
