Hello my CARING, OPENMINDED, KNOWLEDGABLE, THINKING, INQUIRING IB LEARNER FRIENDS!!!
Sometimes I think that technology is great! However, when I think about all the souplike pollution I am breathing in everytime I take a step out of my building, I question the benefits of technology. Yes, it brings us convinience, we get to do so much more than the people from the stone age BUT did the quality of our lives and health improve?

Yes, but what about the diseases that have always existed, such as cancer, which did not have a cure earlier and are treatable in at least their early stages now? Also, our knowledge has increased with increase in technology. For example, we now know all the tiny parts of the cell (trust me. IB bio has imprinted all of them in my brain.) and can venture far into space. The problem you have mentioned is due to abuse, and uncareful monitoring of technological development, not due to the technology itself. If we all try to consciously care for our environment, we can work towards a more sustainable future WHILE simultaneously achieving technological advancement.
