This question has been on the minds of many: as we experience rapid technological advancements, we are also confronted with numerous negative consequences. The question pertains to life and medicine, as technology has solved many of our health problems in the past that were once deemed insurmountable. But can technology truly help solve our planet’s issues? Only we can answer that.
We have all faced the same challenges as others. Technology has significantly impacted many aspects of our lives, making us heavily reliant on it. However, as we strive for better and more advanced technology, we are presented with a new set of problems. The most devastating aspect of these issues is that we cannot easily eliminate them without affecting our lives.
Fortunately, we possess the technology to counteract these adverse effects. For example, consider pollution—one harmful consequence of progress that we have been grappling with as we recognize the importance of utilizing energy. We have become so dependent on it that we can hardly imagine life without it. This reliance has made some aspects of our lives easier and others more difficult.
We need technology to simplify our lives today. With countless tasks that need to be completed daily, we certainly need some assistance. This is where we have reaped many benefits from technology. We can perform a multitude of tasks in less time, allowing us to enjoy what we have.
If we have the technology to counteract the negative effects of progress, why do we still face these issues today? The simple answer is that we, ourselves, are responsible. We appreciate technology but do not genuinely care for it. We focus on things we deem important, but we often overlook the fact that our environment suffers from our actions. In reality, if we were to use our technology to support our environment, we could alleviate our suffering within a year. Yet, we persist in using technology while allowing our environment to deteriorate.
This mindset must change now. Our environment is where we live and obtain all our necessities to enjoy life and technology. We must realize that in order to appreciate technology, we need to foster environmental awareness and concern. One cannot enjoy technology without a suitable environment to live in. Learning to use natural energy is easier than we might think. If we work together, technology can be a helping hand rather than a problem.

Technology can provide so many ways to help the planet. One big area is monitoring human activity through crowd sourcing. In Africa there are groups who use mobile phone technology to send messages to report environmental damage. This helps people take action quicker.
Hi,
Applied technology in a good way, is always beneficial for the world, most of the problem is the human behind it if he applies or develop it environmental-friendly or for him it doesn’t matter that point. Is a knife good or bad? It depends who, how & where use it 😉
Cheers,
