Innovation is everywhere, in society today. Attaining handsets, pcs, as well as other machines is seen as a requirement by people bombarded to advertisements and status updates in which people display off technology. This makes buyers think the old device wasn't good enough they'll give serious thought and often wind up buying a new device. An instrument which generally works well with a younger fan. It causes and economic problem based on the fact which aging machines are now being discarded at such an increasing rate that creates a lot of garbage. To addition to making choices which are environmentally conscious, we had to realize that what seems to be a must may only be a desire.

I agree with this statement because it divulges into the mass consumer culture that surrounds the technology industry today. While the producers of these items create a constant supply and demand with their annual advertising, the benefits of these new items are often trivial things such as a new camera or a slightly longer-lasting battery. In addition, companies such as apple have been known to slow down and undermine the function of older models, forcing the consumer to purchase a new item. This concept has actually forced the company into facing multiple lawsuits. Now I definitely believe having new tech is a want, but the companies producing it sway consumers further and further towards the idea that they need it. Because of this constant cycle leaving old devices discarded, I agree with the previous statement's claim that the increasing rate of discarding old devices is increasing trash and is detrimental to the environment.
