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?

technology
I think that our world has way to much technology. For example Many people stay home and play video games all day and make lots of money. Which in my opinion is dumb because they are sitting moving their fingers and staring at a screen all day. which is bad for there health. I also think its stupid that in we school spend all day in school staring at a computer screen and then we go home and stay at that same screen doing homework. I know it is much easier but it is over used in my opinion.
I agree with Justin because people aren't accomplishing anything and making money when there is other people working harder but getting less money.
That's my point too I agree. The computer stuff is the main reason I HATE Zoom and wish it didn't exist because my life is being wasted away and my brain is fried when i could've invited people over!
I agree with that we have too much technology. Every year there are hundreds or new phones that are released and many are always upgrading to get the latest and greatest features. Although this is good for major companies like Apple and Samsung, this isn't good for us as we spend more and more time on our phones. Another concern I have is all the materials spent on producing the electronics. I think when someone get a phone we should be encouraging them to recycle their old electronics.
I agree with the fact that many people take advantage of technology which has led to many new problems arising however, without technology our world would be very different today. Technology has helped shape our world in so many good ways as well like being able to travel the world and learn about new languages and cultures, creating more efficient modes of transportation, easier communication, the ability to research more into space, climate change, and the brain, there are also so many other ways as well. Technology is something that will continue to evolve to help things like climate change where we can stop using gas cars and eventually use only electric ones. The pandemic we are in right now would also have looked very different then it would have in the past because we have things like zoom, text, email, and easier access to information which has made us be able to continue on with our lives to a better extent.
