Ever since we were made aware of the global warming
phenomenon and its ill effects on the environment we all turned to somehow
become socially responsible & more aware of what we pick recycle and
throw....However Tomas Carr once quoted that "The more things change the
more they remain the same" seems very apt for this situation...We stopped
using oil for cars but resorted to natural gas as an alternative mean leading
us to the process of fracking and drilling mother earth.. Among others one of
the biggest problem the world faces today is the amount of energy that is
consumed globally with almost all of the worlds businesses using computer
technology to operate..so here we are once again back to square one with the
energy consumption of the world constantly on the rise. As a result of the increase in the
various forms of technology, there are many positive and negative ecological
impacts on the planet. Through the rise in modern technology and increase in
globalization, there is a high increase in energy consumption. This in turn has
devastating effects on the planet's climate and air quality. However, without
modern technology there would not be the capability to improve energy
management systems or to develop environmentally friendly products such as
bio-fuels. To make a progressive step towards reducing the amount of damage
technology does to the environment, it is necessary to find ways to manage new
technology responsibly so that it can continue to have positive ecological
impacts...
