Modern technology has a great impact on environment. Some say that people should adopt simple life style to avoid this problem, while others argue that technology itself should provide the solution. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

As of the present, the environment is heavily affected by modern machineries. Due to

this

, many have argued that a simpler approach to life should avoid more disruptions, while others believe the technology itself could be the solution. I am going to discuss both side and give my opinion on the matter. Primarily, it is unquestionable that a traditional lifestyle would preserve our natural habitat more than ever. It is,

, what the actual definition of living simple is that might do more harm than good. Will it be using less plastics, not throwing out as much waste, or getting rid of technology for good? By choosing not to adapt to the use of modern inventions, people are reverting back to primal ways of living, doing manual labours and not having enough amenities. In other cases, they might even make use of older, out-dated tools, which could lead to worsening the situation.

For example

, the tractor, of which the carbon dioxide emission is even greater than manufacturing factories; or the enhanced usage of insecticides as to get rid of bugs in crops, which have been proven extremely harmful to living species and the atmosphere.

In contrast

, living life as it is and has been developing is believed by some to be more beneficial to both the earth and its inhabitants. Automatons these days are not simply factories or cars or anything powered by fossil fuels that emit as much
