Farmers need to produce more food in the next 40 years than in the previous 10,000 years combined. According to the United Nations, 1 billion people across the globe suffer from chronic hunger today.

In the book Neuromancer by William Gibson, the technology and violence shown by the people and AI demonstrate that with the progression and evolution of technology, the cruel nature of humans progresses and evolves with it, and vise versa. This shows that we should be weary and careful of letting our technologies evolve too fast until we depend on technology too much for bettering our lives and get controlled by AI 's for their own interests.

filled with new layers of fresh algae and marsh. The surface does not budge like a Venus flytrap, mouth open waiting for its next victim. However, the most interesting thought is the peace and quietness that is so long forgotten in today's urban sprawl of the twenty first century.

Sprawl and Small Businesses During the past 15 years, I have seen my once-rural hometown of Washington Township transform into a maze of single-family housing developments and strip malls. This type of growth has not been gentle on the local economy, especially small businesses. Stores such as the mom and pop hardware store, a local mainstay for many decades, have been forced out of business by the construction of two Home Depots and a Lowe’s within a two-mile radius of the
