Development in technology causes environmental problems. Some people believe the solution to these problems is everyone accepts a simpler way of life, while others say that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It can be true that technology has brought a variety of problems to humanity. Many think that people need to have more simple life to avoid this situation while others think the opposite by claiming technology is the best way to find solutions to those problems. I strongly believe without a technology human beings can hardly find a way to crucial problems.
Firstly, the opponents of the idea that technology causes environmental people say that people have to cut down their usage in daily life. The main reason for this is that an ovverused technology has affected the envinronment extensively such as causing climate change and global warning. These are dangerous threats for the humanity since climate affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from our food sources to our transport infrastructure, from what clothes we wear. Additinally, the excess heat in the atmosphere has cause the average global temperature to rise overtime, and that leads to global warning, which poses a serious threat to life on Earth.
For example, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the USA is burning fossil fuels for electirity, heat, and transportation by using various advanced technology that helps to increase the global warning.
However, I believe that the high tech itself can be better solution to descrease the environment problems namely climate change and global warning. In fact, there are new technological solutions to those issues. To illustrate, new vertions of computers block eight percent of the Sun radiation. Besides this, solar panels and wind turbines can turn the rays and wind into electricity without releasing greenhouse gases. As a result, such kind of technology converts energy more efficiently and decreases the threat in an enormous way.
In conclusion, despite the fact that technology creates problems in our environment, I suggest the technologh itself has feasible resolutions about how to alleviate the risks of consumption of technology without harming the environment.
