The document discusses the relationship between technology and the environment. It provides definitions of technology and environment. While technology makes tasks easier and improves information processing, it can also negatively impact the environment through increased pollution, fossil fuel usage, and ecosystem destruction. Specific technologies discussed include nuclear power, genetic engineering, and oil extraction, which all pose various risks to the environment if not properly regulated. The conclusion notes that technology can have both benefits and harms, so its development and use must be carefully considered to minimize environmental damage.

2. WhatisEnvironment?
Environment is the total sum of all surroundings of
living organism , including natural forces and other
living things.
WhatisTechnology?
Technology is the collection of techniques, methods
or processes used in the production of goods, services
etc, such as scientific investigation

3. BENEFITS OF TECHNOLOGY
 Able to perform everyday tasks faster
 Able to process information, manage and
keep records better
 Helps people gather information, learn
,enjoy entertainment and communicate
 Technology , made human life so easy ,
now it’s been hard to think without it .

4. EffectsofTechnology
Technology In Education Effective Use of
Technology in Classrooms America Schools provide
one of the most diverse environments today. ... Being
in a diverse environment is a great way for students
to get

5. TheEffectofITontheBusinessWorld
This paper is about the way information technology
effects the business world today. ... We will also
analyze the way information technology has affected
the way businesses function and how the have
adapted over the years . Civilization has never
expended as much change as it has over the last
twenty years. ... Every part of our lives are
affected….

6. EffectsofTechnology
Nuclear Power:
Nuclear technology has been around since the middle
of the Twentieth Century; masterminded under
intense global military pressures, nuclear technology
raises many questions about the value of a technology
that has the capability to render the planet unfit for
human occupation. .

7.  Clean Energy that gets our world off of
fossil fuels.
 Produces less CO2 then Coal or Natural Gas
power plants.
 Average Nuclear Power plant produces 20
metric tons of radio active waste.
 Chernobyl and Fukushima-Daiichi are two
examples of nuclear disasters that cost
many people their lives and changed the
balance of the countries.
 This power can also be misused such as
creating weapons of mass destruction and
atomic bombs.

8. GlobalWarming
 This is causing disturbances in ocean flow,
causing severe weather storms
 The Polar Icecaps are also melting at an alarming
rate
• This is causing ocean flows to break down
• If this melting continues, their could be a rise
of up to 11 meters in some areas

9. WeaponsofMassDestruction
 There are an estimated 19,000 nuclear devices in
the world
 4,400 of which are operational
 If all active nuclear weapons (4,200) were
launched:
• Nuclear winter would occur for up to one year
• Billions of people will die
• Survivors may become eradiated
• Cancers, and other diseases will become
more common
• Food and water sources will become
contaminated

10. HumanlifedestroyedbyTechnology
 Genetic engineering is a process in which
recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology is used to
introduce desirable traits into organisms.
 Produces pesticide resistant plants.
 Animals can be larger.
 Long term health effects of genetically modified
foods are unknown.
 Creation of biological weapons such as anthrax
can wipe out humanity.

11. Technology's Effect on Environment
Technology does make activities uncomplicated and genuinely
makes life easier, but how can a person stay physically fit and
healthy when he/she does nothing himself/herself? many
environmental issues are discussed.
 Increased pollution
 Increased use of fuel
 As humans travel globally they carry and spread disease from one
area of the world to another.
 Ecosystems destroyed to build runways.
 Affects of pesticides on organisms other than the crops sprayed.

12. Technology and the Natural Environment
 There has been an increasing concern about the impact
that technology has on the environment
 Speed of change in human civilization has been occurring
faster than changes in the natural cycle of the
environment.
• Technology has accelerated the process of
change.
 Two major factors have led to an increase in pollution
and the depletion of natural resources.
 Accelerated technological and scientific change.

13. DisadvantagesofTechnologyforenvironment
Oil spills such as the Exxon Valdez, result in
the death of aquatic wildlife. The oil coats the
animals bodies and smothers them. The oil is
particularly dangerous to birds, because if the
oil get into the birds feathers, the birds can
possibly die of hypothermia.

14. Conclusion
Consider the impact each technology has on society
and the environment. They can be either positive or
negative impacts.
As a species we have the potential to do amazing
things with the technology we create. As we develop
newer and more sophisticated technologies we may in
fact be the architects of our own demise. So many
technologies have the potential for good or for evil.
We can only hope that technology will continue to be
used to improve our world and not destroy it.
