This document discusses the impacts of technology on society and the environment. It notes that while technology has made life easier, it has also increased health risks and pollution. Advancements in areas like transportation, manufacturing, communication and weapons development have led to issues like poor air quality from vehicle and industrial emissions. As trade and commerce have grown due to technologies like faster transport, it has increased the environmental pollution of air, land and water through oil spills and toxic chemicals that harm wildlife.

2. In today’s world,
humans are in a very
relaxed cycle : they
eat, they watch
television, they sleep.
 Most people do not
realize the health
risks they are taking
everyday when they
do their daily tasks.

Humans are more reliant on
machines to do simple activities,
Such as changing the channel or
travelling.

3. 
Technology does make
activities
uncomplicated, and
genuinely makes life
easier. But people are
at great risk to their
health with the
advancements in
technology.
The air in cities was so full of smoke.
This leads to poor air quality.

4. 
Not only have
individuals fabricated
new ways of
entertainment, but
have built factories,
which pollute the air
they breathe and
water they drink.
The agricultural system brought on a
revolution.
The need for employees brought
mechanical robots into society.

5. Advancements in
technology also
brought the finer
things in life, making
it necessary for man
to accelerate his
economic growth.

The development of many modern
machines led to air pollution.
The needs for transportation brought
vehicles into the market.

6. 
Technology was used
to speed up
production and
manufacture of goods
 To provide better
transport and
delivering as well as
make the methods of
communication not
only faster but also,
far reaching.
Battles over land brought on the
need for sophisticated weapons.
Humans can cope with their physical
environment.

7. 
Trade and Commerce
flourished faster rates
due to technological
advancements and
brought about
globalization.
People are always wanting a better
lifestyle
Therefore there is always something
new arising.

8.  As
trade and
commerce grew,
the more it
heightened the
impact of
technology on
natural
environment
wherein air, land
and water reached
 Certain
degrees of
pollution,
degradation and
contamination.

9. Oil spills such as the Exxon Valdez, result
in the death of aquatic wildlife. The oil
coats the animals bodies and smothers
them. The oil is particularly dangerous
to birds, because if the oil gets into the
birds feathers, the birds can possibly die
of hypothermia.

12. Sea otters ability to stay warm depends
on how clean their fur is. When they are
coated in oil, this inhibits their ability to
stay warm. Not only are organisms
affected by oil coating their bodies, but
also by the toxic chemicals contained in
oil.

13. The toxic chemicals can be ingested by
the animals and the animals can become
poisoned. The animals affected the most
by oil spills like the Exxon Valdez are
animals that are found on the sea
surface or on the shore, such as birds
and sea otters.
