Many people buy new phones or laptops to keep up with the latest technology. Is this a good or bad thing ?

When discussing the issue of keeping up with the latest technology, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue.

Although

this

and natural resources.

For example

This

example shows that buying new computers and mobile phones have a poor

, and should be regulated. Another point supporting my opinion is that the technical differences between the models is minimal, and most of the regular users do not require these features.

Therefore

, there is no need to replace a new phone or computer regularly. To illustrate, Every year Samsung releases a new phone. In the

last

5 years, most of the differences focused on optimizing the camera and touch screen, differences which are hardly

This

demonstrates, that many times new models offer minimal changes which have no consequence to the user, and so there is no need to buy a new device. In conclusion, I maintain that buying a new product in order to keep up with the latest technologies is harmful to our

Also

, many times it has absolutely no
