Do you think technology is helping us or harming us?Some people will think technology is good but some are not,so let me list out what are the goods and bads on technology....
People said that the earth is destroying itself by its technological culture. Technology has improved the way of life for all and it is the only way we will survive. The benefits from our technological achievements can not be measured.Not advocating pollution but some things must be sacrificed for our, greatest of importance, our struggle to advance.
Since the beginning of time, the goal of a civilization was to improve their way life. Improvement means to change things for the better. Technology helps with this change. Form the Aztecs to the Egyptians you can see that both of them, over time, developed into great technological cultures. Both cultures have technological marvels. The Aztec's have their great temples and the Egyptians have the marvelous pyramids. Their society and culture had flourished
The only reason we have done such a bad job in taking care of the environment is because we lacked the knowledge of how we were affecting the earth and how to go about to change it. With the great advancement in technologies has also produced many items that are now helping the clean up of our lands. For heavens sakes we have no other place to live so we have no other alternative but to take care of it properly.
You can see technology being used everywhere for a means of improving survival. Since the American industrial revolution, man has polluted the earth more in the last hundred years than any other time in history. From companies dumping their toxic waste into our lakes, that contaminate our drinking waters, to fast food restaurants using styrofoam, which aren't biodegradable, society had heard the cry's of nature. There are many examples to show how technology and survival are intertwined within each other but the most important improvement in our lifetime is the personal computer. Computers educate and improve our life by learning about health issues or by gaining important skills that will help them out in the work force. We have been very destructive and irresponsible in the ways we treat our land but we have definitely changed our bad habits.
