"why technology is prudent despite the effect on enviroment"

thankyou paramore that was a wonderful reply. now to begin- EDUCATION/TECHNOLOGY first i would like to re-state how technology and education has benefitted our country overly so. Children every day are getting smarter and smarter at younger ages. This is due to ou increased technology advancements. Most technology in school, however, do not take tolls upon the enviroment. 'Global warming' is indeed an unproven theory. Even so, it has no effect with student education at younger ages. My opponent seems to think that technology has not only taken a heavy toll on enviroment, but on our own citizens as well. I, presented with certain facts, dis-agree with this. Technology indeed does help the cause of benefitting things such as america weight problem and such. However technology also provides ways out of this. We have exercise machines, health foods, dietary substance, and all forms of ways to stay healthy and fit. They are just as easily obtainable as getting weight problems. However due to humans in our society's obligation, it is thouroughly lacking thereof. Technology cannot be blamed for something, someone has rightfully chosen by their own will. Although people can use vehicles to travel with, technology is just providing for them, the best benefits for traveling distances in the shortest time possible in order to get some one somewhere quickly. This shouldn't suggest that, because of technology, are downfall to weight and laziness re achieved. television also, i will have to state, is not a breaking cause. most american citizens have stressful jobs which they return from every day, tired and deperessed. T.V can be an escaoe to people and help them to forget their problems. T.V. also offers many educational channels for people to watch and learn from such as discovery channel. TRANSPORTATION AND THE ENVIROMENT My opponents main argument on this point is the effects from carbon-deoxhide released from fuel emmisions, hurts our enviroment. Our atmosphere has a sort of 'Filter'. When we release gases and hurtful substances, this filter acts as a recycling unit. These gases our re-used and submit into the earth. however this filter doesn't always work rght, and some escape to weaken the atmosphere, thus the theory of global warming. If global warming is going to happen i would first like to tell that 'global warming' is not 100% human related. Although we have hurt the atmosphere, The main cause is the submission of the polar ice caps. This has happened in the past where as everything on earth is destroyed. However over time, the ice caps regrow to fit the sides of the earth, as is now. There is no evidence that we are the direct cause to global warming, though it is obvious that we attribute a small part to it. Also nature submits its cause to global warming, when things such as volcanic eruptions produce mass carbon dioxide, that is 50x's worse than what we produce from our vehicles. Without vehicles, we would be presented many problems. for example: You have a child who is very ill, and on the verge of death. The doctors in your area do not have the proper equipment to treat this poor child. However there is a dactor with the proper equipment who lives a copious distance from your home. Are you going to walk across this distance, or ride a horse, just to help the atmoshpere out a little? To say that Vehicles are bad, and to continue to use them (as i am sure you do) would be hypocritical. in my opponents last argument she states "Increases in efficient, reusable energy sources and methods of transportation is the key to a step forward where we can mitigate the damage our own expansion has caused." This indeed true and supports my case. for technology is what provides these re-usable energy sources we use. Therefor this shows another reason technology can help enviroment. And don't forget what technology does for farming. We use technology in growing and planting, as well as other things that benefit enviroment. To say this is dangerous would be undermining technology. RANDOM ARGUMENT REBUTTAL You say that you doubt that the inventors who have dealt harm on the enviroment had no intention of doing so. I am sure the knew exactly what the consequences would be (however minor) but only invent for the production of our society, not the degredation. If that were so the EPA would never have allowed this one a pass. Although nuclear content does great deal of damage on the enviroment, they are nessicary. We don't go out and use nuclear explosive for the sole purpose of harm to the enviroment. We use them for our protection, and the protection of others. The results to the enviroment may be drastic, however, but there is nothing we can do about it when our nation's security is at risk. With this being said, i conclude that technology is far more prudent to americas progression, rather than the degredation of our great country. I urge you to vote pro. thankyou -kudos fo-shizzle
