Having the latest technology is definitely a want. While society makes having at least some sort of technology a necessity, it doesn’t mean that everyone needs the newest model. Since I got a cell phone a few years ago, I haven’t gotten a new model. I don’t think it’s necessary, mostly because of the financial impacts, but it’s even worse when you look at the impacts on the environment (greenhouse gas emissions, using nonrenewable resources, etc). I think that more people should adopt the idea of only getting new technology if yours is not functional or adequate for what you need it for. I know this is possible because of my own experience. Even though my phone is multiple years old, it still works well and I don’t feel that I need a new one. Do you feel the same about technology? If not, why?
