In my mind, technology is absolutely off the table. Yes, our phones and computers and other technologies can fry people's brains and cause ovarian cancer but think about all of the positive things that technology has done for us. With technology, we can examine cells and atoms not visible to the human eye. We can communicate with other countries that we would not be able to reach out to if it weren't for social media and discussion boards like these! Technology educates people by sharing experiences, opinions, and stories. It makes differents sensations and ideas open to all kinds of people. How do you think so many people know about global warming? It is because scientists study and give out their research on the worldwide web for all of us to see. As a cancer survivor, the use of technology and curing disease is very important to me. I truly believe that I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for modern technology. For example, according to the National Institute of Health under the National Cancer Institute, "Researchers have trained a computer program to read slides  of tissue samples to diagnose two of the most common types of lung cancer with 97% accuracy". Trust me, analyzing microscopic cancer tissue and detecting genetic mutations with high accuracy is not something done by hand. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/canc … sification If you learned anything from this post, then you just proved my point that technology is essential to spread information and awareness in everyday life even if it has a carbon footprint on our ecosystem. The benefits outweigh the costs.
