Terra and Tech

Welcome to the twenty-first century. Welcome to the modern days where almost everything is as easy as blinking. From the complex things like communicating with someone that's hundreds of thousands of miles away from you to the simplest like cooking, they are all made convenient and within our reach. And this is brought up and possibly possible through technology. But well,  something's aren't what they seem and technology isn't an exemption; technology also has its shortcomings.

We now have telephones, computers, gadgets and all to reach our loved ones away from us. We now don't have to wait for twenty minutes or more to stop the rumblings of our tummies with instant foods. And we basically have the power to have our chores done at the count of three now with technology. But we also can't deny the fact that Mother Earth is sick; very sick in fact. With all these upgrades is our environment's deterioration and destruction; inversely proportional.

The thick, green forests are slowly declining in number due to land conversion. It's getting hotter and hotter in here each year or two due to too much release of carbon dioxide with less trees from vehicles and the electricity that we use. In connection to that, sea levels had grown higher and higher because the ice in the poles are slowly melting. Some animals and plants are becoming endangered and others, extinct. Disruptive, super and killer calamities like typhoons and sudden change in the climate is normal nowadays.

Well, it's not bad having technology around but we should be conscious of our environment, too. We should consider the consequences of our actions for what we do to Earth comes back to us in no time. We should find alternatives and other ways that won't give any harm to our environment. We should act now before it's too late to regret. And we should switch our lifestyles to a green and eco-friendly one or else, everything including us would just be another speck of dust in this galaxy.
