Homework 13th March 2020

Do we control technology or does technology control us?

Technology is almost everywhere we look, since we are surrounded by things produced by art or craft. In general, it seems that anything human beings do that is not natural involves us in some way with technology. Below are a series of observations about technology in the world today. Do you think each observation is ‘True’ or ‘False’? Write a few paragraphs (don’t just answer yes/no for each prompt).

1. Cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment.

2. Farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger.

3. Human beings can stop doing research on computer technology whenever they decide it is to their advantage to do so.

4. Global warming is not a serious problem.

5. Technology will use up so many natural resources that it will harm the environment.

6. There are more advantages than disadvantages of technology.

7. People do not rely too much on technology.

8. Life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology.

We’d love to hear your views.

  1. Dear Miss Yiu,

    Technology is now everywhere, and everyone us using them everyday too. Technology could really change humans’ lives, but it may also harm us.
    Think of it, what do people do when we wake up in the morning?Most of us will reach for our cell phones although we are still half-asleep.Wherever you are, people around you are also looking at their cell phones or computers which are named as “Phubbers”.“Phubbers” is the combination of “phone” and “snub” which means people who used their cell phones all day.
    People of all ages are entertained by electronic devices more and more.When some people accidentally go out without their phones, they will feel anxious and confused, feel like something important is missing.
    Electronic devices simplified our lives which is good.Tye world that we are living now is a high-tech and fancy, but we also cannot love without electronic devices.It is already impossible to measure or confine how much time do we use electronic devices a day.We can control technology, but in my opinion we are already being controlled by technology.
    Lastly, technology is doing more impressive things, improving and it helps a lot in the field of education.With the help of technology, students can learn without leaving their schools or homes.

    1. 1) I think cars will eventually be made and the number of cars will increase, because electric cars don’t run on oil, which will be more environmentally friendly to the planet.
      2) I predict it will be true that farmers determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger. Today’s agriculture routinely uses sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology. These advanced devices and precision agriculture and robotic systems allow businesses to be more profitable, efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly.
      3) I believe this is false, because technology has already become a part of our human lives.
      4) I disagree with the point that global warming is not a serious problem because ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers. Lakes around the world are warming rapidly — in some cases faster than the surrounding environment. Animals are changing migration patterns and plants are changing the dates of activity.
      5) I do not agree with this statement, because technology can be very environmentally friendly, as it is more helpful than harmful.
      6) I believe this is true, because technology is a daily tool to help us.
      7) I do not fully agree that this is false, because if you are in danger, you will require an sos button, or if you are at a late age you will need to press the emergency button in your flip phone at the edge of fainting.
      8) In my opinion, this statement is true because it is improving our daily lives, fulfilling our daily needs and therefore a big step to success for humankind.

  7. 1. True, because humans could invent something to stop cars harm the environment, or make cars environmental friendly
    2. True, because technology can make farming faster, also it would prevent the problem of ” Not enough farmers ” by letting artificial intelligence do the work for farmers.
    3. False, because human’s intelligence is always lower than computers, humans will turn back to humans that we know in year 1621 AD ( when the computer was not invented ) Humans will be nothing without computers.
    4. False, because global warming will cause many trouble, such as extinct animals, water level will raise very quickly due to ice melting in arctic. Flooding will be a problem for all countries in earth.
    5. False, because technology helped humans invent solar energy generation to prevent using all of the petroleum which has the limited amount in earth. So instead of harming, it is really friendly to the environment.
    6. True, because it really helped. It can convenient humans, it can help human communicate even from far distance, and it can do careers such as waiter, street cleaner, and even engineers.
    7. False, because technology is now a thing that human MUST have. Such as the crane, the concrete mixing truck, and the bulldozer for building structure. Human can’t build anything without these technology. So human must rely on technology.
    8. True, because humans are improving on life, looking back, we’ve see a lot of improvements, launching the first rocket, stepping on the Moon, and now human started to travel to space as a entertainment, technology makes human’s dreams come true.

    1. Dear Ms Sandra, half of the people say that, “Technology will make our lives better!” And while the second half says,” Technology ruins our life!” Hmm, does technology ruin our life or it improves it? Well this is my opinion on technology.

      First, the statement stated that cars will be eventually made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment. I think this statement is true, because over the years, decades, centuries, human’s brains will eventually grow smarter, their ways of improving entities will grow mature.

      Second, the farmers determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger.
      Well for this statement, i think it is false. Even though, there may be a possible way of growing enough crops for the whole race, but the problem is, you need money to buy the food. So if a country has not much money, they can’t buy food.

      Thirdly, true, because of the endless demands of the humans. Technologies if wrongly used, would harm our environment.
      We should stop whenever it is to our advantage. To preserve this world.

      Fourthly, why is global warming a threat? Well, global warming could make animals extinct. If we lose some important animal species, our food chain will break. Then the whole nature would suffer, eventually that could destroy the life cycle.

      Fifthly, technology does consume natural resources, but if the resources could not be recycled, it creates wastage, such as industrial waste and even toxic waste. These wastes cause harm to wildlife.

      Sixthly, yes, there are more advantages than disadvantages of technology. Technology helps us in transportation, communication, and entertainment. It even helps medical advances in fighting disease and reduce syndromes.

      Seventhly, people don’t rely too much on technology. Well in my opinion, people now still use ancient technology of growing crops, cooking food, and even medical treatment.

      Lastly, life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. Well for this one, a century ago, how did we get knowledge? With experiments. For now, we could use the internet to increase our knowledge. This makes our life much easier.

      In conclusion, technology is important for our livelihood, it helps us to communicate long distances easily, complete tasks automatically and cure diseases efficiently. However, we could not let technologies control us, if we rely too much on technology, slowly erode our basic knowhow, forget vital experience and stuff. Creating a “bookworm” in an ivory tower, which is a sad sight in human nature.

    5.False. Some technology is saving the world form hostile changes, global warming and natural disaster, so even though if the technologies needs a amount of natural resources, maybe someday the technologies is so advance that it can produce natural resources on it’s own!
    6.True. Technologies help us on explorations and experiments with a lesser chance of getting hurt and a lot of other advantages, and the disadvantages is lesser than the advantages of having technologies.
    7.False. Human REALLY relies on technology a lot, because if we don’t rely on technologies, life will be way harder and researches will be way slower.

  12. Nowadays, technology is everywhere.We have robots to help or serve us, we have drones and more….But do technology control us or do we control technology?

    I think we control technology. I agree that cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment, because we already have cars that use batteries rather than using oil. Oil spreads out awful smell and more and more air pollution. Isn’t it lousy?

    Furthermore, I also agree with this point: Farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger, because over the century with the assistance of farm technology or machines can make plants grow faster and healthier, then we can have more products coming out.

    I also agree we control technology like I can like or unlike my friend in facebook or instagram, I can stop or delete any app I dislike.

    I absolutely agree that global warming does gigantic harm because as we see now the ice in the north pole is melting and Polar bears can’t find their home and food. Moreover, if ice is continuously melting, there will be more and more flooding and many cities will disappear.

    Technology makes us more convenient and technology can make us live longer on earth. Thus technology’s advantages outweigh the disadvantages of it.

    I definitely agree that we rely very much on technology now because we need technology every second, such as I am using a computer to type this blog. Technology tells us information, for example TV news tells us what is happening around the world and technology can also entertain us.

    Our lives are much better than 100 years ago. If we don’t have technology, we have to go to bed when the sky is dark because we don’t have light. In old times people could only read books and go out for a walk, but now we can watch Youtube ,Instagram or movies…..

    In conclusion, technology really helps us a lot . We are controlling technology , so I hope to see more technology in the future.

  17. 1.True, it is because it is definitely possible to make cars that will not cause excessive harm to the environment with technology nowadays. Scientists may be able to find ways to make useless items in our lives and turn them into a fuel that can power a car. Also we already have electric cars that are not too expensive.

    2.Ture, it is because that farmers can use better technology to find out or create better ways to make food more efficient.

    3.Ture. Our computer technology is actually already quite advanced. We can play games, chat with friends, facetime, and all kinds of stuff.

    4.False, it is because Global warming will make glaciers melt fast,sea level will rise fast, cloud forests will die fast, and wildlife animals will lose their home fast, and it will cause extreme weather.

    5.False, it is because many people and scientists are trying to find ways with technology to save the earth.

    6.False. Technologies are harming the environment, like buses, cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Many companies are using machines to cut trees down, harming the rainforest and much more.

    7.False we nearly use technology everyday, for example our phones, televisions, buses, trains, elevators, lights, electricity, printers, fans, internet…

    8.True, Life is definitely better than 100 years ago because of technology. Our lives are more convenient. It is easier to chat with friends. There are more fun things to do.

  18. Dear Ms. Kum,
    1.I think is true because cars can later be made with recycle materials such as electric energy which can do less harm to the environment instead of using gas that will make the air dirty like the past. When we have electric cars, the air will be cleaner and will not harm the environment so bad.
    2.This statement is false because if the environment condition aren’t good, even though they find ways such as changing the DNA to make more food, the food may be poisonous and hard for us to eat as humans.
    3.We can stop using the computer for research one day if we decided to use the technology as a part to improve our daily lives.
    4.Global warming is a very serious problem and the temperature of earth is getting higher, so icebergs are melting which makes the polar bears lose their homes. If no one cares about the problem the world will slowing turn warmer, or one day it will cause more bushfire like Australia, even burning down our earth.
    5.Technology will definelately use up natural resources we have because scientist might use the leftover lands as labs to study and doing experiments, so that we have better technology ,but on the other hand, they might have cut down trees in forest which makes us have less oxygen to breath in and survive.
    6.There are more advantage of technology than disadvantage. It helped us to do things quicker so we can spend more time with our loved ones, and be stronger and more relaxing.
    7.Yes, we can live a fantastic life even without technology. We can chat, do sports, and gather with our friends to be socialize.
    8.Life now is way better than 100 years ago with technology’s help, it brought people closer and make their life more colorful.

  19. Nowadays, technology is all around us, and it has been seriously affecting our daily lives. There are televisions, phones, ipads, earphones, and much more. Humans are now creating unnecessary robots, electrical replacements for objects, and that is what surrounds us humans. Little kids are now entertaining themselves with technology, and ruining their childhood that could be filled with so many fun activities. Not only that, but because there are so many electric replacements for everyday objects, us humans are getting lazier, and our eyesight is getting worse! Technology is now taking over our lives, and that’s terrible news.

    Devices were made for us humans to control, not to take over and control our lives. What’s worse is that this problem is quickly growing more and more severe. I think that there will be cars that do not cause excessive harm to the environment in the future. Based on the current scientific progress, I believe that humans will be able to create an environmentally friendly car. People have already invented some environmentally friendly electric products like phone chargers, clocks, drones, and more. I think humans will be able to create cars that don’t require petrol, which creates exhaust gas, and is the main threat to the environment in cars. I feel that humans will eventually figure out a way to invent a great car that will not cause excessive harm to the environment.

    I think that farmers will not determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger. I feel that way because even with high technology and fast-growing products, there will not be enough space to grow enough food for the world especially as the world population is growing at a rate of 100,000,000 people per year. We will not only have less space for farming, but much more people to feed as well! This task is impossible to achieve even with our imaginary gadgets. That is why I believe farmers will not in any way be able to determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger.

    I believe humans can not stop doing research on computer technology whenever they decide it is their advantage to do so. It is because technology can bring many goods to our lives as long as we do not overly rely on them. For example, our phones can bring us joy, help us contact other people from far away, and also allows us to ask for help in emergency situations. There are many more electronic devices that help improve our lives.

    I believe global warming is a major problem in the world. It has many effects on animals and also humans. Some people think that it’s not a big problem because it will only affect the animals in the arctic, but global warming does much more harm than that. The impacts of global warming are being felt across the globe. Extreme heat waves have caused tens of thousands of deaths around the world in recent years. And in an alarming sign of events to come, Antarctica has been losing about 134 billion metric tons of ice per year since 2002. This rate could speed up if we keep burning fossil fuels at our current pace, some experts say, causing sea levels to rise several meters over the next 50 to 100 years. As the ice melts in Antarctica, the animals living there such as polar bears and penguins are not able to live in such conditions, which causes them to lose their life. Early snowmelt, and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages and increase the risk of wildfires in the American West. There will be rising sea levels which leads to coastal flooding on the Eastern Seaboard, especially in Florida, and in other areas such as the Gulf of Mexico. Forests, farms, and cities will face troublesome new pests, heat waves, heavy downpours, and increased flooding. All those factors will damage or destroy agriculture and fisheries. Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and Alpine meadows could drive many plant and animal species to extinction. Allergies, asthma, and infectious disease outbreaks will become more common due to increased growth of pollen-producing ragweed, higher levels of air pollution, and the spread of conditions favorable to pathogens and mosquitoes. All these consequences can be avoided as long as we love and care for our planet. Global warming is a very severe problem and human’s contempt for this is totally unexceptable.

    Technology will use up so many natural resources that it will harm the environment. Researchers have found that we are consuming more natural resources than the planet can regenerate in a year. Most of the newest technology includes major commodities such as oil, coal, iron ore, natural gas, and copper. Also, producing new technology requires lots of non reusable materials, causing many harm to the environment. Even some of the simplest things will damage the environment. For example, the making of paper requires wood from trees. Humans are chopping down important things that surround us which will affect our lives.

    There are more advantages than disadvantages of technology. It is because it makes our life a lot more convenient in many ways. For example, our lives can be more organized because we can plan things with our phone, we can call for help in emergency situations, we can contact each other even when we are far away from each other, and much much more. Also, there are no alternatives that can perform the same ways as our devices do. However, the disadvantages of technology can be avoided if humans paid more attention to their health. The disadvantages of technology are addiction, which means that you need your phone in your life or else you would face many mental problems, and also to be affected by the radiation emitted by our devices. Both those problems can be avoided as long as we limit and control ourselves with our devices.

    I think that people are currently relying too much on technology, especially their phones. I think that this is the main problem with people and technology. Anyone can go on the streets, and see many people on their phones while walking. Also, people are relying on online websites way too much! Most people are now online shopping a lot because it is more convenient. This takes away the time that people could be taking a walk with their friends or family. Overall, people are relying on their devices to do things that hey could be doing themselves, and that is affecting their health and daily lives.

    I believe technology has really improved our lives now, and life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. Technology have not only saved our lives in numerous situations, but it has also brought us joy and comfort. It may have some negative effects, but it most definitely has even more possible effects. 100 years ago, many lives were sacrificed because the technology level was not as advanced, but now, technology is advanced enough to help us through many things.

  22. In these days, technology became very popular and it was an important role for our daily lives too, but will technology make everything better? Here are some of my thoughts.

    1) I don’t believe that cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment because the gas that cars pollute is very harmful to the environment, the air will be more turbid and will not be likely to breathe for us anymore. Also, walking is a nice sport for busy citizens too, but when everyone has cars, no one will walk for a long distance anymore.
    2) I think farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger because farming skills are kept improving to produce more crops for everyone. Just like indoor planting, they could save space and wouldn’t be affected by the weather conditions outside.
    3) I think this is false because technology already became a part of our daily lives and it was a very hard task to separate it from us whenever we wanted to.
    4) I disagree with this statement because as technology products are produced and developing quickly, the global warming issue is getting worse too. A lot of animals’ lives are being threatened due to pollution and also city development.
    5) I agree that technology will use up many natural resources that will harm the environment. Although we are the ones that created technology, we didn’t really think of the materials and electricity used at the same time, of course that will harm our environment.
    6)I agree that there are more advantages than disadvantages of technology. It is because as technology is developing, they really brought more convenience into our lives. Just like the blog I am typing now, you can see how computers brought convenience to my day.
    7) I think that people do rely too much on technology. As I said above, technology brought convenience into our lives, no matter if we are working, searching, or having fun, technology could also be a part of them. You can see the importance for us and there is no reason that people won’t rely on it.
    8) I believe that life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. For example, when we want to search for certain information, we have to go to the library and search for it before, but now we can just search online in one stroke, isn’t it much better?

  23. Technology is almost everywhere, since we are surrounded by things produced by art and crafts. Here is some opinion of mine of observations of technology.
    1.Cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment. Yes I agree with this observation, because nowadays cars use electric but not motor oil, it will produce less gas and make the environment more healthy.
    2.Farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger. I don’t really agree with this observation because the world population will be ten billion by 2100, and less and less people’s jobs are farmers so I don’t think farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger.
    3. Human beings can stop doing research on computer technology whenever they decide it is to their advantage to do so. I don’t agree with this observation, because nowadays human beings too rely on electronic devices. When they don’t know about some information then they will search online about the information.
    4.Global warming is not a serious problem. Well I certainly do not agree with this observation, nowadays global warming is very serious to all of us. Let me ask you a few questions, have you seen polar bears thin as a chopstick? Well I have , the polar bears have not eaten anything in a few days and had to swim in the ocean in a few days just to find a land to live on. Have you seen people in Africa have so much food to eat? I’m sure you have not, cause they can’t even eat three full meals per day and each five second a kid will die because of starving.
    5. Technology will use up so many natural resources that it will harm the environment. Well I don’t think technology will use up so many natural resources that will harm the environment, because now cars use electricity instead of motor oil, and in the future the car will use some kind of energy that will help global warming to stop.
    6.There are more advantages than disadvantages to technology. I agree with this point, because technology has a lot of advantages like, you can chat with your friends anytime, you also can search information online and know what’s happening in the world, when it’s school suspension then we can learn online…… But there’s only one disadvantage that you would get glasses if you use technology device too much.
    7. People do not rely too much on technology. I strongly disagree with this observation, because everywhere we go has technology. Like we bring our phone everywhere, we use computers for lessons and homework, we use phones to contact others, we use any technology device to search or play games……. I really think people nowadays really rely on technology devices too much and should read more books or minus some time on using technology devices.
    8. Life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. I agree with this, because now people have technology life is easier than it was.

    3) Disagree, because human will non-stop wanting technology’s for their better daily life.
    4) Disagree, because if people do not care about the global warming earth will be non-habitable and many of the life’s will be gone.
    5) True, because people will use even a people’s life do the experiment, and because of that many people died.
    6) True, because technology will let us have a more convenient daily life.

  25. Now, technologies are surrounding us. You can use and see them anytime, anywhere. We use computers for work, phones for social, televisions for watching movies… Technologies are becoming more and more in use in our daily life. However, do we control technology? Or does technology actually control us?
    For the first observation, I think ¨cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment¨ is true, because people already made electric cars. Electric cars use electricity to make it move instead of using oil that causes serious pollution to our earth. Without oil there is no exhausting gas. Which means that it will cause less harm to the environment. Humans are still developing cars, so that there is still a chance
    For the second observation, I think that farmers cannot find a way to feed the world’s population and eliminate hunger. In an estimation at 2100 (22nd century), the world’s population will rise up to 10 billion. Even though our technology is advance, it is hard to feed very much people. Since our society is becoming more prosperous, less and less people want to be a farmer, technology can´t help much with this problem. Also, planting foods needs a lot of time naturally.
    For the third observation, I think we shall not stop research and developing computer technology, because computers can be more enhanced and it gives us so much resources. Although our computers are already very convenient for us, there are still some bugs sometimes when loading a page and it is very laggy. I think we shall keep on solving these problems, update the computers and to add more functions.
    For the fourth observation, I think that it is false because global warming is a critical problem. Humans have a lot of needs. We cut down the trees for paper, we build up factories for making different products, we have to drive cars to go to far destination… However, all these things made our global warming problem much more serious. Earth is like a thermos bottle, if you put much and much more hot water, the inside of the thermos bottle will get hotter and hotter. As the temperature keep on rises, it will affect a lot of things… It will melt all the icebergs and snow on mountains, that will make the whole water level of the sea rises. If the water level rises, the water might cover the lands beside the sea. This will be an extra serious problem for these countries.Technology is a nice thing, but also a thing that makes the problem of global warming worse.
    For the fifth observation, I think that it is true. The fact is, technologies are helping us for better life, but it still harms the environment. When we use natural resources to develop and test new products, natural resources will decrease, after years and years, all the natural resources might all gone out because a large number of them are in use each year. Petroleum will release carbon dioxide when flaming, this is a really good example to tell that natural resources will harm the earth too. That’s why we shall not
    For the sixth observation, I agree that there are more advantages than disadvantages. It is because technology makes our daily life more convenient and more comfortable. We can also use phones, ipads and other electronic devices to relax and have fun. Technologies also help us learn and gain more knowledge. We can learn about new inventions and to study about them. Technologies may even help us to solve any kinds of problems.
    For the seventh observation, I think that people rely too much on technology. Many people use phones whenever they are, just because these are too convenient to bring. Also, many of the kids are addicted to playing video games, so using electronics is the best way for them to play video games on the street.
    For the eighth observation, I believe that life now is better than 100 years before. Technology can help us to do lots of things. Doctors can even use technology to heal someone like doing operations, which we couldn’t do it properly 100 years ago. Also, we can have more choice to do nowadays.

Not only that, but because there are so many electric replacements for everyday objects, us humans are getting lazier, and our eye sights are getting worse! Technology is now taking over our lives, and that’s terrible news.

    Devices were made for us humans to control, not to take over and control our lives. What’s worse is that this problem is quickly growing more and more severe. I think that there will be cars that do not cause excessive harm to the environment in the future.

Because global warming causes more and more fires, the melting of the ice in the polar regions, the rising of sea levels, chopping trees, factories releasing smoke and toxic waste in the sea…these events are happening even NOW. Global Warming is a serious problem that needs to be solved immediately, but not many people are cooperating…
    5.It is true on my opinion, because, look, people are even using wood to make computers, phone cases, and all that stuff. Just because it is fancy and beautiful. We already have good phone cases made of other materials such as metal, that can protect our phones from breaking much more that wood.
    6.In my opinion, it is false. Sure, we can use technology to take pictures, play games, and do other stuff. But look at us. We cannot even stay away from our phones. If our parents take away our phones, we get mad, and even go as far as to destroy things. We rely too much on technology. We at LEAST use technology every day, for about 4 hours. We are becoming too attracted to technology. Instead of playing games, how about we go on a hike, or go swimming? It keeps us healthy, unlike just sitting on the sofa and not moving for the entire day.
    7. It is definitely false, because, hey! We use technology at least 4 hours a day! We use it to take pictures, chat on social medias, and all that stuff. I, myself, at least use 5 hours of technology every day. 5 times 7, equals 35. I use at least 35 hours of technology a week. That is a lot.

    5) True, Because because the improvement of technology makes products much easier to be produced, which causes a lot of wastes

    6) True, for example, the advancement of communication technology drastically reduced the time taken for exchanging of information, which changed the way human beings interact with each other.

    7) False, because when humans rely too much on technology some traditional technique and skills will be lost and replaced. If humans continue to over rely on technology,

    8) True, because technology has helped us a lot in different aspects of life. For example, the introduction of Jet plane has hugely decreased the time taken to travel across places.; digital cameras helped more people gain access to photography; the introduction of smartphone makes people’s life a lot more convenient.

  33. Technology will soon surround us, and we might be obsessed with them that we don’t even realise that we rely too much on technology, but not most of the technologies are bad.Let me. Explain why.
    1) I think one day cars will all be modified, so that the planet won’t be destroyed by our carbon emissions. We could use electric power as a battery for our cars in the future! People will no longer be harming the planet any more.
    2) I think this is also true because farmers just keep planting fruits and vegetables, so even though we ate all the meat and fish in the world we could just keep on planting, so that we would never starve.
    3) I think human beings could not stop doing research on computer technology whenever they decide it is to their advantage to do so because scientists need technology to discover how do animals’ live and look for new bacterias’ and stuff.
    4) Global warming is a serious problem! Do not under estimate it’s power. The Polar Bears living on the ice have no choice but to go to the villagers’ houses, and people think it’s the Polar Bears fault and totally forget it’s their fault to blame because we kept on using air conditioners just to make your house not that hot! Causing Global warming!
    5) Well technically technology doesn’t harm the environment except for factories and cars in the present that cause carbon emissions.Anyway technology does not harm the environment, it’s run on batteries or maybe electricity I don’t know.
    6) There are actually more advantages than disadvantages of technology because you could translate languages, play video games and possibly, very possibly watch YouTube videos only if you are bored. Now the disadvantages of technology probably are relying too much on technology and ruining your eyesight.(there’s only two but these two are serious problems!)
    7) I totally DISAGREE with this one. People rely too much on technology and sometimes a little too much that they get obsessed with it. I can’t describe it but it’s the kind of feeling that you always want to get your phone like you can’t resist it.(You will probably be wondering why I know this, that’s because I’ve been through it too!)
    8) Well we are actually much more lucky to have technology in this few years because people back then they need to sort of like write their own letters and find a pigeon and tame that pigeon to carry your messages to other people’s houses, and that seems a lot of work. Nowadays you could just WhatsApp people using your phone!

  40. 1. Cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment, because electric cars will soon be replacing the normal car which will harm the environment. And the first practical electric cars were produced in the 1880s. But there is a big problem: there aren’t many charging stations in Hong Kong.

    2. I think farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger, because people have already made some machines that were made for farmer. So for the problem of less and less people be farmer is solved. Then I think that farmer can also plant plants in the indoor greenhouse too, they can use LED grow light. So the problem of not enough places is solved.

    3. I disagree with the point, because many people had already relied on computer technology, it became a part of our human life. We use the technology often, including now I am using a computer. And most people will use google map or google source when they go to travel or vacation. So technology is very important to us.

    4. I strongly disagree, because I think that global warming is a critical serious problem. Scientists worldwide agree that global warming is happening, and that human activity causes it. Animals in both polar areas keep losing because they have less and less land to live. So we should stop wasting resources, such as, turn off the light, take short showers, walk if you can try not to drive cars, turn off your computer when not in use… Actually we can save our earth by these small things.

    5. Ture, technology will use up so many natural resources that it will harm the environment. For example, the air conditioner will be harmful to the polar. And the factories are producing air pollution. It is harmful to the air we breathe in, and is bad for our body.

    6. I agree that there are more advantages than disadvantages to technology, because technology can help us to communicate everywhere, and this makes our human life more comfortable.

    7. Of course no, people had replied to technology. If we don’t, earth people will be just like the City of Ember, sending messages by the messenger. Then our world will be so horrible.

    8. Yes, life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. Many things around us are also technology, for example, the gas stove. If we don’t have it we can only use fire to cook. And the cars, if we don’t have it we can only walk or bike.

  42. 1. True. Since cars exhaust harmful pollution to the environment, scientists have been inventing new types of cars which reduce polluting fumes to our living environment. In recent years, electric cars have been established in order to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released by car engines. While technology has been developing rapidly, I believe that more and more environmentally-friendly cars would be made in the future so as to eliminate the chance of causing excessive harm to the environment.

    2. False. Although there are ways suggested to boost crop yields and crop quality with an aim to feed the world’s growing population, I do not think that farmers could make hunger elimination possible. Firstly, it still takes time to educate people in less developed countries that they should control birth rates. No matter how hard farmers develop ways to increase production, it is still difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings. Secondly, as the world keeps moving forward, more people could be educated and move upward in society and would not choose to work as a farmer. Hence, to a very small extent I believe that farmers could find out ways to eliminate hunger around the world.

    3. False. I believe that human wants are unlimited and there is always new space for people to develop and discover more. Despite advanced research on computer technology up to now, there are absolutely more methods to make our life easier and more convenient. For example, a few years ago, mobile phones were a product of new technology, scientists have been keen on developing them in more aspects to improve our lives. Nowadays, phones can even be folded to put inside our pockets and can be unlocked by face IDs. There are always unexpected discoveries in the field of computer technology.

    4. False. Global warming has already brought negative influences to people around the world. It might not be significant to us but it actually is affecting our lives. For example, the water level of the North Pole rises every year due to global warming. The ice caps of polar bears are melting and they might lose their homes in near future. Moreover, have you also noticed that we seldom feel cold in winter? It is because of global warming as well. The temperature keeps rising and might lead to crop failures or flooding in some regions. These are very serious problems that may affect our daily lives.

    5. False. Technology is actually benefiting our lives than harming our environment. For example, people invented renewable energy through technology and these energy helps us reduce pollution to the environment. For example, the use of solar energy and wind power utilise our natural resources while not causing pollution to our lives. The natural resources can also replace non-renewable energy sources such as coal and natural gas, which produce a lot of pollution to our environment.

    6. True. Technology helps our daily lives and benefits our lives. Technology has become a part of our lives and we could not live without it. For example, we can just grab our phone to call someone who lives far away from us, or we can browse the Internet for useful information whenever and wherever we want. Like nowadays, under health concerns, it is suggested to stay at home and limit face-to-face interactions. We could use technology to take classes and continue learning.

    7. False. People nowadays are scrolling their phones anytime. People are so into and rely on technology that we are obsessed with it! Look around yourself and everything is related to technology: television, computer, password door locks, bluetooth earphones…… We do rely on technology and could not live without it. Imagine how hard our life would be without our phones!

    8. I could not really say true or false because I have never experienced life 100 years ago. However, I would say I prefer the saying that life was better 100 years ago, without advanced technology. Though life would be less convenient, people could have deeper interactions with one another and a lot of problems would not have existed. For example, depression caused by cyber-bullying, the trend of short-sightedness and neck aches. I would love to keep in touch with people in real life more than with a tablet and I believe that there will be less misunderstanding among one another too.

  48. Dear Ms Sandra,
    Technology helps us a lot in our daily life, but is it good for the environment? Let’s find it out!
    1. I don’t agree that cars will eventually be made so that they will not cause excessive harm to the environment. It is because some of the cars will give off some gases that will cause harm to the environment, animals and even humans, that ‘monster’ is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colourless and tasteless flammable gas that is slightly less dense than air. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common type of fatal air poisoning in many countries. Although carbon monoxide is not known as a direct contributor to climate change, however, it plays a role in this area.
    2. Farmers will determine ways to feed the world’s growing population and eliminate hunger and I don’t agree with this statement. I believe that every farmer wants to be a farmer not just to earn money, but want to help eliminate hunger. There are not many people now who want to do this job, because it needs a lot of hard work to get a good result. In that case, technology can help. Metals have no feelings and they just have to follow the instructions (coding).
    3. Human beings can stop doing research on computer technology whenever they decide it is to their advantage to do so and I think this is also true. Try to think who did all this amazing stuff? It is human! We can stop whenever we like because it is our choice. However… Humans will not improve on technologies if we stopped. Maybe a thousand years later, lions will take over the world. So we must keep improving!

    4. Global warming is not a serious problem. This is absolutely wrong! Global warming will affect a lot of animals and make the weather very extreme. Polar bears are one of the innocent victims. They live in Iceland and they get used to very cold weathers. Global warming destroyed their habitat! The ice is starting to melt and their living place slowly disappears. Technologies are good, but we can’t overuse them. For example, air conditioner, fan, heater… You may feel very comfortable inside, but outside will become very hot.
    5. I don’t think that technology will use up many natural resources that will harm the environment. Nowadays, many people want to save the environment. So they try to invent some useful, but also good for the environment technology, like electric vehicles. A lot of technology uses electricity and batteries and those aren’t the reason that harms the environment, it is the gas that is giving off from the thing (air conditioner). Why will they invent electric vehicles when electricity and batteries will harm the environment?
    6. Do you think there are more advantages than disadvantages to technology? I think that there are more advantages. It is because technologies are invented to help people. As you can see, technologies are really making us convenient. Firstly, we can instantly see what is happening around us. Secondly, we can learn online on different platforms and search for different information. Lastly, we can chat or call with the technology. Do you agree with me?

    7. People do not rely too much on technology. I don’t see why people won’t rely on technology when they are more convenient. For students, when they don’t know the answers to the homework. It’s easy, search from the internet! For parents, they are taking care of the crying baby. Use some apps to play a lullaby, it will calm the baby down. All the things above are technology! Can technology really do anything?
    8. Life is better now than 100 years ago because of technology. Of course! 100 years ago, people had to cook for a long time, they don’t have instant noodles or pre-packaged food. And also people from 100 years ago have to climb ladders to get books from the high bookshelf in the library, but now we can do online reading we don’t even need to go to the library.
    Yours Sincerely,

  49. Dear Miss Yiu

    I do agree with this point. Because I think humans will be more brainy after some time. After, the technology will improve, and the cars, too. When technology improves, I think cars may be taken over by electric cars. It will not harm the environment.
    I do not agree with this point. Because the number of people will increase so the supply will not be enough. Still, if no number of people increases, the supply will not be enough too. Because some people will eat much food and supply like normally one person eats a bowl of rice but some of them will eat two to three bowls! Except for each person just eating one bowl of rice a day, it will be tightly enough. But this is impossible.
    I do not agree with this point. Because people always commit to technology so they can’t stop using electronic devices.
    I strongly do not agree with this point. If global warming were more serious, then maybe people will be dead. Like if the ice from the north pole melt, then the ice water will flow to the ocean, then the ocean will have too much water and it can’t carry, so the ocean will create flood and a lot of people will be dead, so human we’re just self-inflicted. So global warming is a serious case.
    I do agree with this point. Because of the material of electronic devices like the hard disc of the computer were made of plastic, and it needs 10000 years to deliquesce, so it will harm the environment.
    I do not agree with this point. Because technology did get a lot of disadvantages too! Like the computer or Ipad will suddenly go back to the home space when you are doing homework or others. There are more that actually we cannot count. So it is a half-half answer.
    I do not agree with this point. Because people did rely on technology. Like checking unknown words, in the old days, people used the dictionary to check words but now, we use computers, so we really rely on technology.
    I do agree with this point. Because if we don’t have the technology, we cannot do the zoom lesson too. So technology really is a great invention.

  50. Dear Ms Yiu,
    1) True, Because with the rapid development of information and technology, people will start thinking about buying an electric car because they want to keep up with the trends and help the environment.

    2) False, The population of being a farmer is decreasing. Because being a Farmer is really tiring and you have to do a bunch of stuffs everyday. Like, feeding the farm animals, collect fruits and foods , drive the tractor , plant the seed , cut the wheat , brush the animals ,etc…

    3) True, because it can improve our daily lives , like communications ! People don’t have to write a letter to his/ her friend now, we can now use various communications channels instead of writing a letter which is a waste of energy.

    4) False, global warming is a really serious problem , rising temperatures are affecting wildlife and habitats, sea levels are expected to rise between 10 and 32 inches , hurricanes and typhoons are likely to become stronger. Floods and droughts will become more common.

    5) True, because you need resources to make the wires, the computer , mouse etc…

    6) True, because technology can help treat more sick people and consequently save many lives and defeat very harmful viruses and bacteria. Research is also simplified. You don’t need to buy so many books.

    7) False, because for example you don’t know how to do a question on your homework you will just pick up an electronic device and go to google to search for the answer. If it is a test and you don’t know how to do it then you will fail the test.

    8) True, because we can access all the material needs we can ever want, medicine has progressed so far compared to 100 years ago that we can cure a cold or flu you will die .
