I wrote this short essay as a reflection about this topic.
The future of the human race threatened by
technology?
Nowadays, people need
technology every day. For working, for studying, even as a hobby, among other
reasons. Technology is present in everything and we believe that without it, we
cannot live.
However,
technology has made us advance in so many things (for example, maintain contact
with people around the world, treat diseases, work easily, know the world
without leaving home, among others), also it has made us back in our house: the
planet Earth. This is how we with
desire to "advance", we are destroying our home without measure. This
is happening before our eyes and this is undeniable, although we ignore it.
Currently, "consumerism culture " is
essential for us and mortal for our planet. The exploitation of natural
resources, deforestation, global warming, destruction of the ozone layer are
some of the deadly symptoms that our planet is experiencing; and we do nothing because
we prefer to continue to see life pass through our smart phones and we discard them
at the first damage they have, or simply because a new model has already come
out.
Clearly, there is a solution that although it will not
improve one hundred percent our planet situation, it will generate notable
changes. As Earth’s population, we must put in place the solutions with which
we can contribute to improve this situation, at this moment, because tomorrow
will be very late.
Some solutions that we could apply are:
·To
establish schedules for the use of technological devices, especially in
children and adolescents.
·To
sensitize people about "consumerism culture" and how we can combat
it.
·To
generate reforestation in each place where trees are cut down.
·To
promote the recycling culture in homes and schools.
·To
give talks that generate environmental awareness in everybody.
Now, we have solutions but not only written, solutions need to carry out
and all of us, we could save our beautiful house called Earth planet.
