I have bought electronics that I do not need, and have replaced older products that are still usable in favour of the latest tech. Our desire for the newest and best contributes to health problems and environmental damage caused not only by the production of electronics, but also by the way much of it is recycled. Vast mountains of e-waste are shipped to countries where environmental and worker safety controls are lax, where people searching through the piles of waste for reusable materials are exposed to hazardous chemicals, where heavy metals and toxins are released into the environment from the burning of plastics...and I'm still tempted to replace my Wii with Kinect.
