The technological dilemma: blindly embrace our newly discovered technology and perhaps face the extermination of the human social structure. As science fiction as it may seem, society's full acceptance of technology and its integration into the most minute tasks has far outweighed any consideration of the harm that technology presents. There is practically no area of our social existence in which Technology has not grasped its cold metallic tentacles. As we attempt to argue against the seemingly blind acceptance of technology in this document, think about each point and how the technology could be better monitored in your environment. You will realize that the involvement of technology in the daily activities of human culture is not as good a thing as our leaders, businesses, and most of the community would have you believe. First, we must admit that technology has improved today's society in more than a few ways. For example, global agriculture departments have benefited greatly from injections of technology into the sector. We have seen an increase in harvest volumes. Research into molecular growth, pesticides, and even aspects of harvesting has enabled our population to grow more food more quickly and efficiently than ever before. While most of our population may believe this is ideal, the downside to this precarious situation is that the increased volume of agricultural products reduces the levels of minerals and nutrients in the soil faster than they are replenished. “According to the 1992 Earth Summit, the United States has the worst soil in the world: 85% is depleted, demonstrating that the power of the food supply cannot support optimal health.” (M.
