The document discusses how technology has advanced over the years and the effects it has had. It notes that technology has made processes like education and agriculture more efficient by allowing learning on a global scale without leaving the classroom and automating farm work. However, it also argues that greater dependency on technology leaves people disadvantaged when issues arise as they become less self-reliant. The document stresses examining the benefits and risks of new technologies through risk analysis to minimize unwanted side effects.

1. How advances in technology have
changed with the years?

2. Advantage
Technology advances show people a more efficient way to
do things, and these processes get results. For example,
education has been greatly advanced by the technological
advances of computers. Students are able to learn on a
global scale without ever leaving their classrooms.
Agricultural processes that once required dozens upon
dozens of human workers can now be automated, thanks
to advances in technology, which means cost-efficiency for
farmers. Medical discoveries occur at a much more
rapidrate, thanks to machines and computers that aid in the
research process and allow for more intense educational
research into medical matters..

3. Disadvantage
The more advanced society becomes technologically,
the more people begin to depend on computers and
other forms of technology for everyday existence. This
means that when a machine breaks or a computer
crashes, humans become almost disabled until the
problem is resolved. This kind of dependency on
technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage,
because they become less self-reliant.

4. Technology influences human existence by bringing
new risks as well as improvements to our lives. To
try to minimize the likelihood of unwanted side
effects of a new technology, humans will employ risk
analysis. You can use the resources found here to
help you understand how technology influences
human existence by examining the benefits and
risks of different biotechnological advances.

5. Water Purification Methods
City water is purified water that was initially raw water
taken in at an intake station from a river and then sent
to a water purification plant, where it has been purified
to meet water quality standards. A water purification
plant can thus be thought of as a facility that treats raw
water and removes its impurities, making the water
safe. In other words a water purification plant is
essentially a factory for producing drinking water.
Water can be purified in several ways. City water in the
city of Hiroshima is produced through rapid sand
filtration at the Ushita, Midorii, and Koyo Purification
Plants, and through slow sand filtration at the Fuchu
Purification
