The use of technology


Technology is a collection of techniques, methods, skills and processes. All are used to achieved goals in the production or service. This is possible with the help of scientific research. These include factories, machinery, computers and devices that can be operated by individuals without detailed knowledge of the above.

Use of technology gives help to people and their development. It began with the discovery of control fire. Use of natural resources for the simple tools (knife, spear, ax and other). Then is discovered the wheel and more recently steam engines, electricity and computers. Since technology has many effects it began to be used in a variety of ways.

 

Technology and humanity

It is launched a debate and disagreement about whether it improves the human condition or worsens. Because of the fact that it’s considered that alienates people. Many processes produce unwanted by-products, such as pollution. Also, use of weapons and increasing destructive power by the military, the depletion of natural resources to the detriment of Planet Earth.

One thing is sure. Humankind has choose wrong in selecting technologies. Humankind had to choose the one that does not have a lot of pollution and depletion of natural resources. Of course, especially from the moment while it given. Since the first discovery of the occurrence of greater pollution there were no such possibility, but later were found clean technologies that have not been applied in full. Still the problem of high pollution and depletion of natural resources remains long after.
