| It's true that you don't need cellphones. You don't need a car. You don't need a bed. You don't need your own computer. You don't need more than one set of clothing. You don't need to go to college. There is very little that you need in life.
You can argue, though, that some of the things you don't need are useful tools in today's society. Other generations survived perfectly well without them, and ours could, too. That's not an argument for why they shouldn't be used. Someone can make that choice, of course, but let's be clear about how many things you don't really need that you probably choose to use anyway. |
