Importance of technology in
the environment
There have been many problems
in our environment such as greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, air and
water pollution, acid rain and finally, fossil fuels and its consequences can
be really severe and harmful for everything and everyone. We as curnicopians,
truly believe that the improvement and practical use of technologies that do
not damage nature or the environment is critical to preserving and improving
the value of life. We also believe that the wise use of technology is a
necessary requisite for sustainable development and progress. Technologies that
use resources efficiently as possible and diminish environmental damage while
increasing industrial productivity and definitely, improving the quality of
life on Earth. Throughout the years, new technologies have developed according
to the amount of population and economic pressures and demands for safety,
food, better health, security between others. Technological advances have made
possible new sources of energy, better health care, developed materials and
have also improved productivity and different food supplies.
Natural resources:
As Aldo Leopold said in his
essay, about the weather nature and how it has to be preserved of the
economical and practical benefits for the humans. He isn’t right
because we can see the different perspectives of this. Having
natural resources provides human beings to stay alive. During the past years
the technology has improve a lot since humans have been discovering each time
more and more. Even though the natural resources are important, technology has
improve a lot and discovered new things and have more inventions where humans
cannot live without technology. Everything has change through time
and all humans are used to live with technology. For example humans cannot
change the way they live since it is really hard for them. There are many works
of technology that is involved on with natural resources that it will be really
important in the future for all the next generations.
The truth is that the only thing essential to life
is humans. Without humans the world would not be what it is, and would never
become the thing it is now. The world need humans being in order to persist and
the technological advances the humans had created. Nature is not really necessary,
the advance in technology has incremented in such a way that nature can now be
replaced because of technology. We have concluded that nature is now something
unreal, whatever we need we can now create it. And that is the only thing essential for life,
we are sure we don’t care what will happen there. So, we think that it doesn’t matter
what will happen to nature, humans and technology will be able to reproduce
everything that once got lost.
