How has technology changed our World? Have the changes been positive orhave they been negative?why orwhy not?

Because of the techonology, the world is now very different from the way it was in the past. How has technology changed our world? have the changes been positive or have they been negative? Explain your answer.|||*Very* loaded question there. I think there are plenty of arguments for positive and negative, and they are mostly interrelated.





Thinking about technology related to health. Finding cures, developing technology like pacemakers, gastric bypass surgery, MRIs, chemotherapy, all mean that people are living longer. Great, we get to have our loved ones with us for that much longer.





But having only one Earth with such a limited amount of space...it gets more and more crowded. People are living longer, and are thus using up more resources. Deforestation, air and water pollution, and in some cases involution...this all comes back to the fact that there are more people living in the world today than there have been in the past.
