Technology and the Environment   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: earthcast     
It is a fact that technological advancements have brought a lot of changes to the world. These changes range from positive to negative. Thus that means that technology is like a blade, it cuts with both edges. Therefore, with it being is a double blade, it has the ability to make work easier and also make diverse effects on the ecosystem. For instance, with great advancements in technology, industries have shifted into using lethal machines. The machines excrete a lot of heat which in turn raises the temperatures of the atmosphere. Some of these industries dispose waste materials into rivers without thinking twice about the organisms' life security.
Furthermore, the environment that looked wonderful in yester years has now gone through numerous effects. The most notable effect is degradation. These lands are almost useless because of man's negligence because they have suffered a lot of degradation. If you want to prove this, you can as well take a visit to the industries as well as construction sites, you will be astonished. This is because you will find a lot of complicated machines which spell the word danger to the environment. The machines emit massive amounts of smoke which increases the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the environment. The result of this is depletion of Ozone layer and subsequently high temperatures hence global warming.
Global warming is an enemy to farming activities In addition; the machines pose a great pitch of sound to the surrounding creatures including human beings. They in turn cause the earth to tremble as though an earthquake was taking place. The trembling weakens the environment hence making it prone to common effects like soil erosion and also degradation. These effects also have the ability to interfere with the daily activities of the creatures. This is because the noise almost goes for 24 hours and thus the animals become even more devastated and worried as the noise goes on.
The health conditions of the operators are also another concern because it is very evident that the industries as well as the construction sites have a lot of health hazards. Even the operators of the machines get accustomed to such kind of noises and the chemicals excreted in these industries. Hearing becomes an issue and the chemicals affect the lungs which lead to breathing problems. Generally, technological advancement is not discouraged because it is really great. However, mechanisms should be put in place to tackle these negative effects towards the environment.
