what are good and bad could bring this advance technology to us? having an advance technology could we easily do anything very fast than if we manually do it by our hand, but the bad thing are we consume more electric power, and used more our natural resources.

the good of advance technology is we can easily do and finish our task with the use om technology, and the bad is we zero out our natural resources by using it.

Advance technology can help us solve the problem quickly and fast and correctly more than do it by hand. Advance technology can do a lot of good thing for us. But the fact that, they also give us some bad thing: we depend on technology, when they disappeared, we can't do it manually. New technology also give us some disease, especially in cancer, and other disease concern to our muscle.

There's nothing wrong with advanced technology... the more, the better - bring it on, I say! Our standards are higher now, our means of overcoming problems has developed to a high degree, we are more advanced now than we used to be in so many different areas that would not otherwise be possible without this technology. The reason why we use up our natural resources when we need to use electricity is because our electricity generating technology has not advanced at the same rate as our other technologies. If it had, we would not need to consume any of our natural resources at all, but just tap into the infinite amount of energy that exists all around us which is constantly replaced & never "runs out". The technology to do this is already with us, but the reason why we don't all have access to it is because of the powers that be, as I have addressed already in a discussion of mine.

the problem with technological advance is that it is too slow. hence, it puts many people out of work. a fast technological advance means that we humans can rely on cheap robots to do house chores for us..or even help us to work and earn money. that however, is just a theory of my own. many think that tech is a cycle. one day, we will realise that manual work is more practical and then we go back to it. then future generations will slowly develop tech again and then the cycle goes on and on.
