The document discusses how technology will destroy the planet through three main points. First, technology reduces jobs and causes increased unemployment as tasks can now be automated. Second, technology has made society reliant on it and less social. Third, rapid global warming from human activity and technology is negatively impacting ecosystems and increasing extinctions of animals. It suggests recharging from technology by socializing face to face, reading books, and going for hikes in nature. However, it concludes that as technology usage continues to increase, the planet will eventually lose its ability to sustain life.

1. Technology Will Destroy Our Planet

2. What Is Technology?
 Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals
with the creation and use of technical means and
their interrelation with life, society, and the
environment, drawing upon such subjects as
industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and
pure science.

3. Why Technology Is Great
 1. Represents the innovation of man, and increasing
advancement in human society.
 2. Technology assists us in everyday tasks, from
heating our food to printing our news.
 3. Technology assists in quick communication, such
as E-mail or Telephone, to contact one another with
ease.

5. Why Technology Is Bad
 Many times jobs that previously required an actual
living human, can now be automated by the use of
technology, further reducing jobs and causing an
increase in layoffs.
 We have become reliant on technology to accomplish
certain tasks. Do you remember your friends phone
numbers anymore? The fact is about 22% of our time
spend online is on social media sites – is also cause
for alarm.

6. Why Technology Is Bad
 Technology had made us lazy

8. Technology Affects Our Planet’s Environment
 Rapid global warming can
affect an ecosystems
chances to adapt naturally.
 Human activity and
technological advances
have increased extinctions
within our animal kingdom
 Our oceans are constantly
being polluted with human
waste, destroying a very
important ecosystem.

9. Recharge & Enjoy Life Without Technology
 1. Socialize
- No, really socialize, like face-to-face with people you
know in “real life”. And while you’re both spending
time together, try shutting the phone down. Trust me,
the world won’t end and your friend will probably
appreciate it.
 2. Read A Book
- Read a book with actual paper pages! Kindles and
other readers are great, for storing a lot of material,
but nothing can take the place of a literal page-turner

10. Recharge & Enjoy Life Without Technology
 3. Go For A Hike
- Wander off into the wilderness and enjoy mother
nature. Hikes help boost your health and make people
happier and sometimes even smarter.

11. Can We Be Saved?
When the world was created there was no
technology, yet man survived. And while technology
has been great in so many ways for our planet and
human development, you can see how it is has become
a burden as well.
The world was not meant to operate the way it is
now. And I do not see us changing our technological
ways. I do not think we can be saved and our planet
will eventually lose it’s grips. So for now live life to
fullest and don’t take anything for granted.
