The advancement of technology has dealt tremendous amount of environmental damage to the globe,

resulting in numerous problems such as air and water pollution. Although the critical need for life that is
easier and less harmful to the environment has been a polemical idea, I subscribe to the answer from
modern technology to these issues.

To begin with, a large number of proponents of simplifying lives claim that people can still survive
without modern automobiles, which they regard as one of the major contribution to environmental
damage. Vehicles nowadays acquire not only better speed and acceleration but also increased amount
of pollutants, particularly CO2, released into the air. Furthermore, those advocates also suppose that a
diverse mixture of activities can be conducted without the assistance of modern equipment. To be more
specific, in most cases it is not the computers, televisions or any kinds of electronic media but human
beings that is needed to get people themselves updated to the news and changes in the world, as well
as advertisements if available. Another point is that a lot of household chores frequently done manually,
for example washing the dishes and clothes, are being accomplished by automated machines which
based on electricity to operate. As a consequence, the total quantity of electricity essential to life stands
a high chance of soaring, and it is nearly inevitable that natural belongings, from resources to
landscapes, will be intensively used to serve the demands of humanity. If the experts and
environmentalists can find a way to deal with these problems, lives then will become more friendly to
the environment, hence the long-lasting of humanity on the Earth.

Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that it is crucial to await the answer from modern technology itself to
the harm it has done to the environment. Although most products nowadays can be problematic to the
environment in different ways, it is possible that, with this pace of development, scientists can introduce
other outcomes which are both convenient and environmental friendly. As the pollution level is rising at
an alarming rate, scientists, have possibly begun to figure out how to get rid of, or just minimize, the
damage that modern products can cause to the planet, instead of continuing to develop them. Besides,
since citizens have become extremely addicted to modern technology, which means they can barely
survive without the global network. Therefore, it would be roughly impossible for them to experience
life without the attendance of machinery, similar to the lifestyles of their ancient ancestors. Because the
primary purpose of advanced technology is to improve and ease the living conditions of humanity, not
to ruin them, it would be wise to wait for a solution from technological experts.

In conclusion, while simpler lives may seem a right choice to eliminate environmental issues to some
people, I am in favour of the technological methods of dealing with these unsolved problems. One point
I recommend is that it is vital to limit the usage of modern technology to an extent, so that human
beings can hardly rely everything on it.
