Technology will Destroy our planet. This document discusses how technology could potentially destroy the planet through several means: misuse of electronics and machines leading to job losses and environmental waste; advanced artificial intelligence becoming uncontrolled and causing harm; influence of technology on mental and physical health of younger generations; and how human activity is negatively impacting the environment through pollution and resource depletion. The conclusion argues that while technology has benefits, its side effects on the planet must be reconsidered to avoid future disasters to nature and humanity.

2. Intro and look through
 Through our universe there could probably be an abundance of life
forms we are not aware of right now, we are the only known and able
living planet that can support life. Through everything we have lived
for and accomplished through technology we have used our resources
to shape humanity in a purposely more beneficial way. Over time we
have used our resources in many ways to invent and create new things
for our lives but we don’t notice the side effects which over time can
prove undesirable. Over the look of this presentation we will see how
technology will destroy our planet by the misuse of technology's that
should have been re-thought of or not invented at all.

3. ELECTRONICS AND MACHINES
• Purpose of devices are to make things easier for people and accomplish tasks
• Devices and machinery can precisely engineer to do and monitor human lifestyle
whether its to make people live longer or do tasks for people with no input effort.
• Withdrawing human abilities to do jobs can cause people to end up in welfare from
lack of work and silly ideas to make the wrong choices.
• Operation of transportation without human effort again takes jobs away.
• Manufacturing companies or production companies using electronics integrated
Machines to do work effects job losses once again.
• The amount of power required to run all these devices are exponential and will cost big
money and resources on top of governments helping the unemployed.
• The waste of these devices are non eco friendly and cannot be safely broken down.
Landfill sites full of electronics and machines that are non disposable.

4. INTERFACE OF MACHINERY TAKEOVER
SINGULARITY OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS CAN ALLOW MACHINES
TO BECOME MORE INTELLECTUALLY ADVANCED AS THEY CAN BE PROVEN TO ACT
MORE HUMAN LIKE.
PROBABLE CAUSE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COULD BECOME A REALISTIC
PROBABILITY AND HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN WHICH COULD BECOME
UNCONTROLLABLE TO A POINT OF ANNIHILATION OF OUR POPULATION.
INTER CONNECTED MACHINES CAN CAUSE ALL INTERNET INFORMATION TO BE
PUT INTO THE WRONG HANDS AS THE INTELLIGENCE CAN CAUSE LETHAL
ACTIVITY AND NO GOING BACK.
Mass amounts of spyware
and malware could be
effected as intelligences
beyond our minds can
cause us to not be able to
keep up. Our inventions to
new technology could
result in taking ourselves
over as humans may prove
as harmful to these

5. Possible intelligence of the non human
extraterrestrials
 Probable cause of intelligence outside of our
planet may be very high as the universe is still
largely unknown and can be held of many
lifeforms.
 Other worlds may look at our technology as a
great resource or the fuel of our planet to
benefit themselves.
 Our abilities to reach so far into the
galaxy/universe can invite the wrong
inhabitants to earth.
 Within contact of other worlds or intelligences
much higher then our own may want our
resources or to take our planet from us to call
home.

7. Continued….
 As we learned about the Nuclear Bombs and the wars it could create causes massive
destruction, we also can see other things we have done that can cause global
catastrophe.
 The Fossil Fuels put into the atmosphere is going to be the futuristic cause of our
demise as we keep pumping bad gases (greenhouse) into our atmosphere.
 We know from past history that there was a nuclear meltdown from Chernobyl the dead
city and the recent Fukushima meltdown.
 The testing of new ideas and implementations have caused severe damage to
environment and nothing can be done to convince the government from taking such
measures.
 People are so greedy and will try and get what they want. Small countries are now using
large power technology and soon or later, terrorist threats will destroy countries and
cause multiple casualties as already seen in 911. Ever since that attack it showed other
countries what they can do with technology that we have created and use it against
other countries and cause huge disaster.

8. EARTH/MOTHER NATURE LIKED THE WAY IT USED TO BE
• At one point in time the earth was at its own nature without the human input by creating and taking
resources from earths source to invent and create new things which in our sake is bad.
• Through the Global warming disasters we can see mother nature fighting back at us destroying the
planet by pollutants that are put into the atmosphere.
• We have seen how in the past years that natural disasters have broken records in the past centuries.
• Hurricanes, tornadoes/storms, tsunami and earthquake disasters proven to be much higher then it used
to be without global warming.
• Flooding's will occur over time as we see the ice caps in the northern and Sothern poles will rise the
ocean surface. Many cities will flood for example New York or any other cities that are near sea level
will become coral reefs in the near future.
• Another thing to consider is another ice age occurring because of the different ocean currents from the
change of temperature which could cause the worst outcome for humans and the wildlife.

9. Human technology for young
generation
 Media and electronics makes things much easier and simpler for humans to the point where little effort is
needed.
 Kids in this day of age who can barely stand up and understand the nature of our world are gluing there faces
to the front screens of tablets and phones.
 We know that young generations before this with television was causing kids to become lazy and using there
time to watch television and sit around all day.
 The scary part is its even worse as younger generations are now exposed to much higher technology and are
wasting lives away.
 The obesity rates have spiked in a large amount in the last decade and will cause health services a huge
abundance of unhealthy humans needing medical care.
 Fact is the average age now for cancer is 30-45 years of age as it use to be in the late 90s was 50-60 years of
age. The destruction of our planet could be caused by our own problems and habbits.

10. CONTINUED: AND WHY VERBAL AND
PHYSICAL COMMUNICATION HAS DIED
• Like the young generation learning the wrong way
of how life to humans should be taught has
changed. Now there are over 8 trillion text
messages sent out each year world wide.
• The way friends used to talk to each other is now
through text messaging, picture texting etc. there
is no real physical contact with a person which is
quite meaningless.
• Texting grammar has allowed people to use
improper use of language as there own slang like
for example: LOL, LMAO, BRB, TTYL, OMG, are
ways that people express an opinion or statement.

11. HOW TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCES
THE ENVIRONMENT
 Things like plastic and other materials that are cheap to create and engineer are bad when
landfill sites are overwhelmed and people throwing garbage everywhere causing massive
pollution.
 Oil spills and other contamination that we dump into our planet is ridiculous and could result
in a very bad way also habitats suffer from this.
 Ever since the industrial revolution the world has taken too much of the resources and have
caused things like the wildlife having to vacate there habitat to live in a less desirable
environment.
 Everything you see today is made from natural raw material that is harvested from our planets
natural resources. Most of the harvesting is from our forests as it provides the most building
supplies for human resources.
 These resources are an essential part of earths supply of oxygen and the intake of CO2. with
less vegetation we may just be carving our own graves.

12. Mental/physical health to society
• Over time we have seen how far technology has gone over the past centuries. These technology's
may not make a difference but maybe these ideas could result in the worst idea anyone has came
up with.
• Mental aggression with violent video games can cause a large breakdown or mental images that
can influence a young child to adult.
• Sleeping disorders may cause mental disorders or significant stress on their body's.
• People can’t do without a cellular device in there hands which can cause deep anxiety without
this technology.
• If we took electricity away and all these devices and turned our word hundreds of years ago
would cause huge mental and nervous breakdowns. People consider and rely on these things as
there second nature and they wouldn’t survive without the use of these tech devices.

13. Conclusion
 What we know about this planet is that it was shaped and shifted in a way to
fulfil what people wanted in life but not what they needed.
 It is important to understand the difference between what technology can do
that will effect in a good efficiently way, or The other way people don’t see is
how technology will fascinate others but effect the bigger picture that we
don’t see.
 The side effects that people rub off would be how it changes our minds, how
it can destroy our planet using physical force, climate change causing
immerse storm damage, flooding etc.
 If the planet has not already been in great danger of some sort of destruction,
then there must be something we need to do to eliminate any futuristic
disasters to mother nature and the human race/wildlife.
 Maybe an invite from the wrong worlds could result in an apocalypse caused
from another intelligence wanting our resources or our planet.
 Even though we have many risks to face while implementing new technology,
we have to rethink and recalculate what side effects are causing our planet to
slowly diminish to the point of extinction.
