The buying a new phone is meant to be a part of affluence, rather then tech.

Wouldn't I=PA/T be more suitable then? As tech increases it should decrease the impact of population and affluence.

Anyway, sorry for being such a smartass. Of course it could be reciprocal. I guess what I am trying to get at is that it sounds like people think tech is bad for the environment, whereas actually it's just our culture that's doing it in.
