Personally, I think that technical progress mostly harms Earth. First of all, cars have resulted in global warming. The greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Additionally, factories has caused air pollution. Moreover, technical progress has provided people with comfortable living conditions, so it caused overpopulation which is disastrous for Earth. Greater populations have polluted and consumed more, ruining the environment and intensifying a variety of problems.
However, some fail to recognize the harm of technical progress. In their opinion, it is much more beneficial than dangerous. For example, solar panels are very popular in 21 century. They, unlike thermal power stations, can generate energy without toxic release.
There is a great deal of true in what they say. Unfortunately, producers often save on using cheap equipment, which badly harms nature.
All in all, environmental problems are becoming more and more pressing. I still strongly believe that technical progress is dangerous not only for flaura and faina, but also for all human beings. As a result of technical achievements, the planet ability to support people is being endangered.
