A technological dependancy will prove well for the greater good of mankind

Technology is not good or bad, technology (on Earth) is controlled by Humans who design and use it as they wish, technology currently aids mankind in the pursuit of knowledge, happiness, life, and liberty. below i've taken the liberty of writing some advances field that the Technology has aided and certain examples (all with links), in total this round took me over 2 1/2 hours. Agriculture: Advances in Agriculture and very rapid, in 1900 one worker could feed 25 people, in 2010 one worker could feed 200 people. Some features of agriculture involving technology are: pesticides[2], fertilizers[3], and modern harvestors[4]. Communication: Now you can wirelessly communicate with someone on the other side of the world with little to no cost, and it even made this debate possible. Some features of Communication involving technology are: Telephones[5], Computers[6], Laptops[7]. Cooking abilites: Man has come a long way since his forefather who had to use fire, nowadays you can easily cook food using new age technology found in the homes of most developed, and some developing nations. Some features of Consumer handling of food involving technology are: ovens[8], toasters[9], microwaves[10]. Education: education has been improved by better simulations and models, international learning, manipulatives, assessments, and Ebooks[11] Some features of Education involving technology are: Computers [6], Smartboards[12], and even 3D printers[13]. Entertainment: Yet another thing that exists essentually because of technology, though my opponent has listed how men of horses could travel and deliver mail it's much less effect at deliver news, and takes much more time. Some of the ways technology have aided Entertainment, is by allowing for international broadcasting on popular TV shows, movies, Some features of Entertainment involving technology are: the camera[14], television [15], and the gaming system[16]. Green energy/Renewable energy: What a marvelous idea Green/renewable energy is, the best thing about technology is that it's always getting faster, more effecient, more complex(not always a good thing, but typically it is. ), better, and cheaper. Some work in green energy and renewable energy involving technology are: green homes[17], more efficient cars[18], and a smaller footprint which will lead the world into renewability so our next generation can live better than we do. [19] Medical Care: Medical care wasn't advanced by technology, it was made by technology. It's a large reason avergae lifespan is increasing in both developed and developing nations in the 20th century the average lifespan was 33, in 2010 the average lifespan was 67. [20] Some features of Medical Care involving technology are: open heart surgery[21], the Flu vaccine[22], and the research of cancer, in which humans have learned much not just about diseases, but also the human genome. [23] Space Travel and Exploration: One of the biggest feats in Human history was achieved by means of technology as Neil Armstrong message was heard after he stepped on the moon (though the microphone garbled some of the audio): "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. "[24] Some features of Space Travel and Exploration are: the mars rover[25], dozens of satellites in orbit[26], and the lunar rover. [27] Special Needs: their are millions of people, who have special needs and use technology to help them function in daily life. Some evidence of People with Special Needs being aided by technology are: Steven Hawking's chair[28], paralyzed American veterans[29], and a list of other technologic creations (view link) [30]. Travel: Nowadays Humans can easily travel almost anywhere around the globe thanks to technology. Some features of Travel involving technology are: Airplanes[31], Cars[32], and Bicycles[33]. I believe that all this technology is aiding mankind, and continuing upon the research and development it is for the greater food of mankind. I would argue my side to a greater extent, but as of now I have little to refute based on Con's opening round, best of luck during this debate Con and expect more next round.
