Technology Has Replace Nature

Entering my blue line on a night sky on a regular day in Chicago just frustrates me as I see that I can’t see any stars. Looking around, all I see is light everywhere.  Throughout history, the more advance we have become with technology, the more we are forgetting about nature. Humans have built rail lines, roads, houses, etc, that has taken away the essence of what really nature is. Humans now just live through using inefficient transportation methods; spend more time inside with materialistic objects, and dispose of their unnecessary garbage inappropriately that it is causing the planet to be unhealthy.

 Humans now rely more on trolleys, cars, trucks, motorcycles to get from one place to another. In doing so, they have no idea how much pollution they are contributing to the ozone layer. Humans have become lazy over time, as they have created these methods of transportations. Back in the era, before cars, people were more active since their only method of transportation was by walking. By adding all these transportations, they have had to get rid of inhabited arable land. This arable land is nature; therefore, humans have in a sense have put aside nature over technology.

In the world of 2010, humans most days rather spent time inside with their video games, plasma televisions, even exercising inside. People have forgotten about the essence of our nature. By living in the city, they have put technology a priority over nature. Today people rather spent their days inside doing activities that involve with materialistic objects, than take a walk in the park and admire the sky, the trees, and the beauty of our nature. To some extent, people have conformed to the idea that technology is the way to success and to live. They have put aside our values for nature.

Cities now are much filled with landfills that not only take up arable land, but it can create bad odor. These landfills can sometimes create diseases that can affect humans.  In the streets today, people dispose unnecessary objects like radios, televisions, old working-out machines that in the first place shouldn’t be needed since we humans have built these materials that only just create unneeded waste.  

All in all, society has shift from a more nature-based lifestyle to a technology lifestyle. As technology has taken over everything, people have put aside nature for objects that are never really needed. Although, human technology has brought many benefits to our society, it has lessened our respect for nature.
