Technology is always improving and scientists are always finding new ways to make things faster and convenient for everyday people. Most technology uses electricity though and producing electricity burns resources that release gases that cause global warming. However, a lot of the new technology produced may not be necessary for people to purchase when every small change lets companies release new things. Depending on who you ask these changes are necessary or not but in my opinion a lot of the new technology releases is a waste of resources that could be used or preserved for something else. When you spend hundreds of dollars for a few small changes annually or every few years it starts to become a diminishing return. First, a lot of techonology is overpriced for how much it offers meaning you’re wasting your money (or your parents money) on things you don’t need. Second, this encourages companies to keep overpricing products until you stop paying for them. This means they will keep putting resources into things that aren’t that important and aren’t producing as much or  more for how many resources it uses. That being said, it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to stop spending money on what they want to buy, after all it’s their money and they can do what they want.
My last argument is that maybe we need a rapid increase in technology and risk destroying the Earth to try and counter global warming. This means we don’t put our focus towards stopping global warming but finding alternatives to stop us from dying to global warming. This is because it’s unrealistic to expect enough people to stop from continuing their habits of wasting resources or producing technology so instead we just try our best to find what alternatives we have. I don’t think we would have to do this because global warming is still manageable and this could kill the world.
Technology isn’t restricted to just phones or computers however, aircons, fans, lights, and many more fall under technology and you can help the Earth by not using them when you don’t have to. Things you’ve heard since you were 5 like turning off the lights when you’re not in the room, not using the aircon when you’re not home, stuff like that can help or at the very least take the burden of thinking that you are helping destroy the Earth off of you.
