Technology will destroy
our planet
Prepared by: Matthew Cuggy
Humans and Violence

-Human beings have been using
their technology for violence since
the being.
-Homo Habilis was our first
ancestor to develop tools
-It did not take them look to
discover the use of tools for
violence.
-Home Erectus used a variety of
weapons for hunting. Such as:
Axes, Knives, and spears.
Humans and Violence Continued
               As humans evolved so did
                our technology.
               So instead of hitting each
                other with tools we made
                from stone we killed each
                other with metal weapons
                and later on guns.
               Humans have fought for
                many reasons over the
                centuries;
                Land, Religion, Pride, and
                just for the sake of violence.
               All these violent acts require
                resources to start and
                resources to fix the damage.
               This way humans have
                destroyed many natural
                resources in the pursuit of
                violence
War and Technology
 Technology does advance because of war and conflict
 An example of a technology that was developed because
  of war is the microwave.
 However, a lot of the technology developed in war is
  can’t be used in the common home, and some can and
  have contributed to the hurting our planet.
The Atomic Bomb

 The atomic bomb was
  developed in world war
  2.
 Atomic bombs use the
  energy of splitting
  atoms to release
  tremendous amounts of
  energy.
 The first atomic bomb
  was used on Hiroshima
  in Japan in 1945.
The Atomc Bomb Continued
 Because of the atomic bomb’s high destructive power, it
  destroyed landscapes (resouces and native
  life), buildings, and humans.
 The real disaster of a nuclear device is not the intial
  destruction but the radiation that comes after.
 The radioactive particles not only cause mutation and
  disease in humans but in the animals and plants in the
  surrounding area.
 If radiation enters into a water source, that water source
  can become poisonous and lethal to the living creatures
  that drink from it.
 In this was a nuclear weapon does not just kill it also
  infects the land and water.
Nuclear Energy

 Nuclear energy is a good resource for power, however, it
  carries with it a huge risk to our environment.
 A example of this is Chernobyl.
 Two nuclear reactors exploded and caused radiation to
  destroy the surrounding environment.
 The site around Chernobyl will not be able to support life
  for many years because of the radiation damaged
  caused by the explosion.
Technology and the Environment

 As technology advances and is mass produced the amount
  of raw resources needed increases as well
 As we continue to destroy different location for the
  resources we damage the environment. Not to mention the
  local wildlife that calls those locations home.
Technology and the Environment
Continued
 A major resource that humans use, and the environment
  needs, is trees.
 Humans have already cut down over half of the worlds
  rainforests for the resources.
 These rainforest are responsible for the creation of a lot
  of our oxygen. So while we are destroying the
  rainforests we are also destroying ourselves.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

 The automobile can be argued to be one of the best
  inventions to date. It gets us from point A to point B in a
  fast manner. Same with planes and Trains.
 However, the fossil fuels used in the performance of
  these technologies is hurting our evironment.
 The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased
  with the amount of cars that are being used.
 This can cause harm to our planet by trapping ambient
  heat within our atmosphere and warming the planet.
  This could cause major environmental changes that most
  of the organic life forms on our planet could not surive.
Cyborgs!!!

 With the rise in technology, humans are finding more
  and more ways to improve themselves and the way we
  do things.
 Ex. The Cochlear implant allows for deaf people to hear
  in a way.
 People are allowing for more foreign equipment to be
  implanted into their bodies.
 The end result…. Who knows? We could advance so that
  we do not need resources to live or we could further
  destroy the planet in search of resources or for the
  simple pleasure of it.

Humans and Violence -Human beings have been using their technology for violence since the being. -Homo Habilis was our first ancestor to develop tools -It did not take them look to discover the use of tools for violence. -Home Erectus used a variety of weapons for hunting. Such as: Axes, Knives, and spears.
  • 3. Humans and Violence Continued  As humans evolved so did our technology.  So instead of hitting each other with tools we made from stone we killed each other with metal weapons and later on guns.  Humans have fought for many reasons over the centuries; Land, Religion, Pride, and just for the sake of violence.  All these violent acts require resources to start and resources to fix the damage.  This way humans have destroyed many natural resources in the pursuit of violence
  • 4. War and Technology  Technology does advance because of war and conflict  An example of a technology that was developed because of war is the microwave.  However, a lot of the technology developed in war is can’t be used in the common home, and some can and have contributed to the hurting our planet.
  • 5. The Atomic Bomb  The atomic bomb was developed in world war 2.  Atomic bombs use the energy of splitting atoms to release tremendous amounts of energy.  The first atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima in Japan in 1945.
  • 6. The Atomc Bomb Continued  Because of the atomic bomb’s high destructive power, it destroyed landscapes (resouces and native life), buildings, and humans.  The real disaster of a nuclear device is not the intial destruction but the radiation that comes after.  The radioactive particles not only cause mutation and disease in humans but in the animals and plants in the surrounding area.  If radiation enters into a water source, that water source can become poisonous and lethal to the living creatures that drink from it.  In this was a nuclear weapon does not just kill it also infects the land and water.
  • 7. Nuclear Energy  Nuclear energy is a good resource for power, however, it carries with it a huge risk to our environment.  A example of this is Chernobyl.  Two nuclear reactors exploded and caused radiation to destroy the surrounding environment.  The site around Chernobyl will not be able to support life for many years because of the radiation damaged caused by the explosion.
  • 8. Technology and the Environment  As technology advances and is mass produced the amount of raw resources needed increases as well  As we continue to destroy different location for the resources we damage the environment. Not to mention the local wildlife that calls those locations home.
  • 9. Technology and the Environment Continued  A major resource that humans use, and the environment needs, is trees.  Humans have already cut down over half of the worlds rainforests for the resources.  These rainforest are responsible for the creation of a lot of our oxygen. So while we are destroying the rainforests we are also destroying ourselves.
  • 10. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles  The automobile can be argued to be one of the best inventions to date. It gets us from point A to point B in a fast manner. Same with planes and Trains.  However, the fossil fuels used in the performance of these technologies is hurting our evironment.  The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased with the amount of cars that are being used.  This can cause harm to our planet by trapping ambient heat within our atmosphere and warming the planet. This could cause major environmental changes that most of the organic life forms on our planet could not surive.
  • 11. Cyborgs!!!  With the rise in technology, humans are finding more and more ways to improve themselves and the way we do things.  Ex. The Cochlear implant allows for deaf people to hear in a way.  People are allowing for more foreign equipment to be implanted into their bodies.  The end result…. Who knows? We could advance so that we do not need resources to live or we could further destroy the planet in search of resources or for the simple pleasure of it.
