The Importance Of Technology On The Environment

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”, these are the quotes of the famous German physicist Albert Einstein in relation to how the world has become overly reliant on technology. As a result, we have taken nature for granted while also ignoring the adverse effects of technology. The making of steam engine, the usage of fossil fuel and the creation of chlorofluorocarbon are all technologies which has benefited us greatly and are continuing to do so, but like everything on this earth there are always negatives to counter the positives This is the balance that we must find between nature and humans.

To recapitulate, having analyzed the reasoning presented above, one can safely conclude that although accepting the effects of technology advances on humans’ thinking ability is inevitable, there have been always others who used technology efficiently to explore new solutions to humans’ problems. Not only has technology declined the latter group’s thinking ability, but also it has provided them with a great opportunity for contributing more on its

Nature and technology are sometimes classified as binary opposites, they are different yet they both play a huge part in our lives. These being binary opposites can be argued because they work hand in hand daily for humans to live. Without technology there is no life, and without nature there is no technology and no life. We trust nature and hope in technology, this is a theory that keeps us going. This essay will debate this assumption of technology and nature viewed as binary opposites. It will be supported by a Samsung Galaxy gear gadget which will demonstrate how technology may operate as an extension to the human body and mind. It will further debate whether humans are seen as natural or technological beings.

Within the modern world, and the modern thought process people have about our connection with new technologies is one of constant expanse. All caution is thrown to the wind in an attempt to satisfy one insatiable hunger for a certain type of keeping up with the Jones-es. Many authors speak on the wonder of technological advances on society by the exact means of how they work, however, Richard Louv is not this kind of author. He presents technology as useful, but with an underlying tone of a technological numbing agent. We begin to only see it instead of what Earth has given us millions of years. Technology is only a certain part of the problem with the real problem being humanity's mindset toward our greatest asset, nature. Mr. Louv uses extremely profound and intelligent rhetoric to push forward the idea that us as humans are already so broken away from nature, that eventually it will be deemed illogical we used it for anything other than a means produce by it. Richard shows three areas we have really broken apart from nature with the three examples of ad space for parks, extra commodities for an SUV, and the genetic modification of animals.

The rapid rise of technology has dominated the narrative of humanity for centuries, generally improving life in almost all metrics. At all times throughout this history, technology has been labeled from demon to savior, creator and destroyer; the term has consistently been a lightning rod of ambivalence. As the speed of technological growth continues to increase, some fear that our society might undergo tumultuous, perhaps unsustainable, amount of displacement.

Throughout history, and particularly in the last century there have been conflicting visions of how technological developments have impacted and solved the many problems of human-kind. Mary Tiles and Hans Oberdick highlight two conflicting visions towards the feelings of technological development. One side is optimistic, that believes in technological omnipotence that could help keep control of the environment and human destiny. On the other end of the spectrum, technological pessimists believe in technological impotence, and that human nature would be incapable of controlling technological advancement, thus extracting all of the Earth’s resources and spiraling out of control. From the optimistic view humans are in absolute control of the technologies that are produced. Technology is used according to its needed purpose, and thus may or may not be needed to help the further development of humanity. For this reason, we can say that optimists believe that technology is value neutral, as human nature is responsible for deciding how we use technology

With an ever growing human population and an ever developing world of technology, humans have found new ways to change the dynamics of the natural world for their own benefit.

Technology in the 21st century has enhanced our lives by providing easy access to information, quick ways to communicate, and has allowed people to connect with others all over the world. In this case, technology is viewed in a positive light. However, when it comes to technology and it’s ability to solve environmental problems, is it reliable? Before technological solutions are implemented in the environment, they must be thoroughly tested and reliable. These technological solutions should have positive short-term and long-term effects. If the benefits are only good in the short-term, but not in the long-term, and the environmental problem reoccurs or reincarnates into another problem, we end up in the same place we started at. This would

Throughout the entirety of human existence, man has thought within the realm of the universe, and has relatively recently found the usage of technology as a means to an end. Technology as a whole is reliant upon humanity for it’s creation, and we are it’s sole provider of it’s unconcealment.

With the change in living trends in todays modernized society there is an appeal for such products to “go green.” Clorox’s new line, Green Works, attracts a special ground of today’s nature friendly and environment oriented consumers who do not want to buy products from companies that cause bad effects on the environment. With the help of the media and people, they have put a good perception of the company in the minds of the consumers. The most important factor is to keep the consumer behavior in mind by using cell phones, videos, social networking campaigns through newspapers and radios to build the brand value for the company and its products. However, the company has controversy allegations that may cause problems for the company such as the prices of the products, skeptism of how well the products will work mainly because most people see Clorox as a “bleach” company and some students may just not care enough about the eco-friendly products.

Today we begin to think if technology is even here to help anymore or if it’s here to manipulate the minds and the moral intensions of today’s people. Genetically engineered (GE) plants, animals, and humans have become too personal because we eat genetically modified foods everyday and although scientists may think they’re curing us, they don’t think of possible effects that may harm us. When society and our environment starts to get affected by it, we wonder if this specific technology should be available to any and everyone.

Whether in the workplace or at home, as humans, we prefer a state called homeostasis. It’s the state in which a person’s relationship to the environment is stable – it’s comfortable, familiar and predictable. Physically, we are wired for regulation that keeps our systems operating in a way that is stable and unchanging. Even when we are excited by future possibilities, we are also apprehensive about the loss and transition we would experience as we make changes. Embracing change seems risky and there are too many unknowns. Besides, “Why fix something that ain’t broken”? Resistance to change is a mindset that is embedded in most companies. This thinking resulting in a work place culture we are calling, “Management by Status Quo” – a preference for keeping things the same and the tendency to prefer avoiding losses more strongly than acquiring gains.

As nature deteriorates on several fronts, ranging from ozone depletion to water contamination, scientists and politicians grow more desperate to stall and ultimately reverse the damage to the environment. Technology quickly comes to mind as the most viable solution, having been responsible for great strides in fields such as computer science and medicine. Humanity is fascinated by the question, “if technology can cure disease, why not use it to regulate the environment?” Questions like this gave way to “techno-optimism,” the belief that technology can solve all the problems of today and tomorrow. However, techno-optimism is a flawed philosophy that mistakes technology for an environmental cure-all. While the pursuit of ecological sustainability requires the use technology, techno-optimism grossly exaggerates the power of this relationship. It is imperative that techno-optimism be dispelled and replaced with a new, more realistic ideology. Far superior is the notion of techno-realism, which seeks to find the most efficient, most realistic solutions possible while considering all limiting factors of a particular context. However, at this time, it is more important to promote techno-realism as a philosophy than to describe specific techno-realistic solutions to environmental and social concerns. Embracing techno-realism is the first step in understanding that technology, while necessary to protect the environment, is not a panacea in its own right.

Environmental and social breakdown is now vast and global in scale.   Technological advances have provided the basis for a new kind of social evolution, beyond cultural, religious or spiritual boundaries.  Technology, however, is not ultimately directed by reason, but by

Every organisations have encompassed technology as a valuable way of a greater efficiency to daily duties. As part of better effectiveness and efficiency, the chances of involving technologies, I believe would turn over undesired consequences at times. Though implication of technologies, specifically on database performance would benefit at large, detriment caused after employing should be migrated. As it has been clearly noticeable, major effectiveness however is being disrupt subsequently after system being upgraded, such as slow responses within database system and rebooting seems to no longer being effective. Nonetheless, considering to issues of the system, impacts would by varied causes depending on to points of what and how system is being used. Challenges lies figuring to what extend does congestions are in as resulting to a poorly performed application.
