We could talk about sustainability when we talk about technology | Reflection

It may be that from the perspective in which we analyze technology as an innovative and even saving tool we could conclude that talking about technology is synonymous with sustainability, however we must not lose the focus of knowing how to identify the premises under which technology can become synonymous with sustainability.

In order to be able to relate to technology as a possible synonym of sustainability, it is necessary to evaluate and analyze our present, that is, to know how to identify where we are in our lifestyle. As I have mentioned in some previous posts, I believe that our current lifestyle is already irreversible, that is, I believe that the historical circumstance in which humanity will bend to live in a world without technology and without changes involving new inventions and an industrial development that will lead us to adopt new technological positions will never come.

Under this current scenario, we would have to begin to reflect on the fact of using technological advances in favor of generating a sustainable social environment, where the technologies that are about to be discovered in the near future may allow the existence of the planet and human life to be prolonged a few more years than estimated according to the scientific studies of the time.

We are very far from the reality that suits us as when we think, for example, that the covid-19 disease is helping to stop the effects that cause climate change and global warming, when the reality is that we either change our lifestyle, which we already know is not going to happen because it is an irreversible process.

So the scenario that can bring us closer to a sustainable future is the idea of using new technologies in favor of being able to generate, for example, generation systems that are potentially large but do not pollute like fossil fuels.

Finally, it is necessary to close this cycle of reflections by asking ourselves the following question:

So can technology help mankind establish a sustainable living system?

It can help us and much, much needed is that the foundations are increasingly being laid for new forms of energy that could help reduce greenhouse gases, other technologies may be suitable for reducing pollution from energies that are not clean and that pollute the environment at a dizzying rate.

Conclusion

One of the most important challenges of the man of tomorrow would be to convert the minds of each individual in this society under a vanguard philosophy, in which we can interact about our destiny by putting as a spearhead the new technological advances to convert the human way of life into a more sustainable one.

Very good your reflection friend, it is true when you say that the planet has benefited greatly from this whole pandemic as thanks to it a large part of the population is at home and not harming the planet. I think it's going to be very difficult to change people's mentality, but it doesn't cost anything to try!

Surely, after everything is back to normal and the risks associated with this disease have passed, there will be many lessons learned, especially those related to the environment. Greetings and thank you for your contribution to this publication.

I like where you're going with this. Imagine the educational system for both youths and the business world integrating technology with sustaining life. Sustainable practices such as for the environment and mental health would more easily flow from this. Early focus during design and even idea phases would do wonder for the future.
