We cannot get through modern life without the basics anymore, at least a computer and a mobile phone. Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done. We didn't need cell phones until we had them. Clearly, cell phones cause not only a breakdown of courtesy, but the atrophy of basic skills.

Many of the technologies we use every day guzzle a lot more resources and power than they need to, and using and manufacturing them can create a mess with ecology. Technology is harming the environment every minute, every hour, every day, without break.

Air, water, heat and noise pollution are all the ill effects & terrible health hazards caused by producing and using technology. They were extinct just 100 years ago. Pollution has risen to alarming levels in modern era.

Non-renewable resources, including precious metals like gold, are used to make technology. Many others, such as coal, are consumed to generate the electricity to use technology. Once wiped out they can never be regenerated. Even some renewable resources, like trees and water, are becoming contaminated or are used up faster than they can renew themselves because of technology.

Manufacturing technology creates large amounts of waste, and used computers and electronics get thrown out when they break or become obsolete. Called "technotrash," these electronics contain all sorts of hazardous materials that are very unsafe for the environment. They need to be disposed of using special methods.

In order to build giant factories land needs to be cleared of forests or animal grazing areas to be sacrificed to build factories. This allows pollution to contaminate the food chain which in turn can greatly affect the environment's natural cycles.

Using toxic materials can harm our health, can cause cancer, and technology addiction can lead to other health problems like obesity.

So dear readers please minimize the use of technology in your daily so that our environment can be a healthy place to live in.
