The side effects of Technology..Why is it bad?

There are certainly more but some of the reasons I think that that people should not be dependent overly on technology is because it enables: 

1. Mankind's violent nature

2. Over dependence: we have become over dependent on our machinery and cannot seem to function without it: (computers, television, automobiles.) 

3. Related to the above is sloth: As machinery picks up the slack humans tend to become lazy. 

4. Death of written arts: As television and the internet and gaming increase in popularity, pieces of written work fall into the background of culture. 

5. Lose of local work: As the ability of satellite and telephone conferencing becomes more available it is possible to send more jobs abroad. 

6. Health problems: as the automobile has slowly progressed so has its fuel. The formula for gasoline has changed several times, one of the most harmful was a gasoline mixture with beryllium in it with has been proven to cause cancer. 

7. Cloning: While making a perfect Identical clone is currently impossible there is a problem with the basic genetic markers in most animal DNA that causes a major problem.

8. Pollution: It causes harm to the atmosphere and oceans.

Technology

Throughout history, technological inventions have helped humankind progress their ethics of living, beginning with the simple creation of bone tools of prehistoric times, enduring on to and beyond modern air conditioners, cars, and super computers. Today, when the quickness of development and study is so remarkable, it is easy to think about the advantages of modern technology.

Modern technology has resolved many problems that people face and play an important role in the growth of many countries. Modern technologies generate many kinds of products - computers, cloning technology, and video games etc.

Technology today has made our existence, improved and faster. In our modern society, people can't see themselves deprived of computers, cell phones, voice mail etc. As we look at technologies, questions are raised. The Technological progress makes our society more suitable and harmless. Making incredible things possible are comparable features of the change which previous people have practiced by social change, like fluctuating from a hunting society to an agricultural society and founding a commercial society due to the creation of new tools. To reflect these advantages and change of society, modern technology, which we use today, might be not only a new instrument but also the tool, which makes a histrionic change in history. However, the input of modern technology to society should not be eradicated and should be dispersed evenly.

However, there're numerous people that can't see them deprived of the new tools of the 21st Century. That's because the technology re-forms the core of humanity and it inspires us to think of all things in the world as standing by, ready for our ingestion. So this certainly touches our insight of the natural world. Nowadays we produce technology, but technology also produces us.
