As I believe, there is a huge difference when it comes to wants and needs. A want is something of a delicacy you can delay, something you enjoy having or acquiring but not very important to your survival. But a need is something crucial or very important for survival, it could be as food and water. As it comes in our modern days these term have changed severely and more items have been put into each state of importance. Technology is a must by some right now, as for our virtual connections to view the world because of the pandemic I say technology is very important and a need. But that does not mean that having the LATEST tech. Is the need. A normal working phone or computer would do just fine if you have internet so no, It is no a must to have the latest technology.
