HOW TECHNOLOGY Has Hurt Us Although many inventions have helped us and madeour lives easier they have also caused some problems. With the invention of the car came problems such asair pollution. Cities are becoming more and morecongested with people using their cars even for shortdistances. The government is trying to make this better bymaking cars pass an emmission control test. Anotherproblem with cars is that hundreds of people die or getseriously injured each year. Another technical invention that maybe we wouldhave been better without is weapons.

More people areturning the guns on themselves. Kids bring guns to schoolwith them for protection against people who may use agun on them for retaliation.

We use everything from disposable pens todisposable diapers. We can stop some of the garbageproblem by recycling. Air conditioners are using up allot of our electricity. There are times in the summer when brown outs happenbecause if our excessive use of the air conditioners. Freongets released into our environment. Today people are being kept alive longer and longer. People that have no chance of recovery are being keptalive on ventilators. This causes a great expense tosociety and an emotional stress on the family.

Kids spend more time locked upstairs intheir bedrooms watching TV. Negative news comes intoour living rooms every night. I would rather try to solve the problems thattechnology has caused than not to think of any new waysto make our lives easier. .
