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?

Is there really a distinct line between want and need?
I usually only buy knew things as a replacement to something when it is no longer usable. At that point, does the line between want and need get blurred? If I buy a new phone because the one I have currently doesn't work at all, is it a necessity or just a luxury? To me it is a necessity. My phone functions as everything from my calendar, to my calculator, to my way to contact people in a time where social interaction isn't allowed. However, for others that haven't learned to rely so heavily on such items it would be more of a want.
