The Idea of a Garden by Michael Pollan

If we continue to overuse technology, It will negatively affect society. When Mr.Mead is walking he comes to the two main highways in town and does not see any cars on them “ During the day it was a thunderous surge of cars, the gas stations open, a great insect rustling and a ceaseless jockeying for position as the scarabbeetles, a faint incense puttering from their exhausts, skimmed homeward to the far directions. But now these highways, too, were like streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon radiance”(174). All of the people in the town hurry home from work and never stop to have any human contact or talk to

Without an excessive amount of technology, people would be able to continue life without it influencing their choices and relations around them. Overall, people have become overly reliant on technology and should begin to lead life excluding an abundance of technology.

After reading the lecture and the short stores by Jorge Luis Borges, one can able to conclude that we are surrounded by criminal activities. In every culture, region or country there are some sort of criminal activities more over the same type of crimes that occurs. In Latin America the crime rates were significantly high in the past and still continues in the 21st century. Each of these stories written by the author Jorge Luis Borges carries some kind of connection in Latin America.

A garden that holds your secrets, that is a secret itself, holds a special spot in the book “The Secret Garden”. The garden is described as an overgrown hidden beauty that has not been seen for ten years. The woman who created the garden passed away because of an accident; in turn, her husband becomes bitter and wrathful. The door which led to the garden was locked and the key was buried while the orders were given for no one to enter the garden again. There’s more to the garden than just being hid away. The garden is a secret to some very important characters in this story, but why? Perhaps the overgrown secret may even have a secret of its own.

A smart, scholarly and skillful author named Aldous Huxley once said “Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards”. The advancement, improvement and the wrong use of technology has affected the world in a really negative way. When technology first started to improve and become more advanced was during the WW1 and WW2, which caused the most destructive wars in human history. For example the wrong use of technology led the Americans to produce one of the most destructive bombs that killed about more than 80,000 innocent people in Japan, Nagasaki. Another perfect example could be the production of nuclear weapons and missiles in Russia and Iran, which are made to eventually be used in another

Many of the objects used on daily basis are technology used to make life much easier. In the novel “Cat’s Cradle” it was the total opposite because there were many conflicts and the source of the problem was science and technology. Humans don’t realize how much they depend on science and technology to survive, but also destroy earth with it. Science and technology can be a tool that creates problems, it has to be handled with precaution, and it can also affect many people in a different way.

Technology will led the world in a entire new generation, it makes people think about why, how, what, and where. It so important that every body is using technology for their own purpose. Technology can wither tell if you will die or live, it cost millions to make or work on in technology, and there’s the bad side if it. If people are trying technology to see if it will work or not if they’re not sure. There will be no need of Technologies if we’re not using it for the right purpose. The most important factors that should be considered are the risks, the benefits, and financial

In what I disagree with Folger is in how he mentions that science makes everything better which I don’t think is totally true. For the reason, that it has made people more dependent on materialistic things. In addition, all this technology is also making people lazier. Which this leads to obesity because now they are just sitting down and with a push of a button things can be brought to them or they can go anywhere sitting down. This is becoming more of an issue and a concern, yes some scientific creations have become very handy but it’s quite scary to see that these creations are taking over. For example, now for some companies they don’t even need people and if they had some, now they are being fired for the reason that robots or some other

To conclude, the choices that humans make with technology affect this Earth. It could either be a negative outcome like destruction or it could be positive and be a spark of a new hope. As this society continues with these old ways which have already exceeded our humanity, they are just creating more destruction. If humankind can change these ways, there could be hope for a fresh start, and a new beginning. All in all, let’s stop this technology from exceeding humanity and begin

As exhilarating as it sounds a world filled with technology, we have to admit we are becoming quite too dependent on technology

TEDxDirigo hosted Roger Doiron to provide listeners with his message: A subversive plot: how to grow a revolution in your own backyard. Throughout his talk, Doiron passionately explains to listeners how growing a backyard garden can help someone retake control over an aspect of their life. Their food supply.

For those who haven 't learned the truth of what happened in the garden. It is a crucial teaching to learn that makes the whole bible come more alive , among other teachings that aren 't taught in your average church

Albert Einstein sums up what the technology we have created for ourselves has done to us in a single quote. “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity” (Einstein). This one sentence holds many meanings. It means that technology has exceeded what is possible of the human race, that technology has affected us in a way that makes us less human, and that technology has allowed us to reach beyond barriers like language, distance, time, and space.

“Another factor adding to human exploitation of the planet was technology.”(Hughes, pg.154). Air pollution and rampant diseases spreading at an alarming rate in most industrialized cities. Slowly started to awaken people to their changing ecosystem. “There were those, the conservationists, who looked at the ways in which humankind was wasting the earth’s riches and

Have technology and science lead to a sustainable and ethical world? Will it in the future? Four philosophers all have lent their opinion on the subject. Marx believed technology is positive until touched by capitalism. Heidegger holds true the idea that handicraft or antiquated technology improved our human experience while modern technology does not. Arendt beliefs science alienates us from this world. Bostrom believes technology is the light at the end of the tunnel. These philosophers have spent their life coming to these conclusions and many of the opinions are mutually exclusive. One should hear from all of them before forming an opinion on technology and its effect on humankind.
