need science help with a discussion about Technological Advancements & Modern Conveniences

Technology is an integral part of your modern life. From the computers you use at
home and/or work, the vacuum cleaner that keeps your floors clean, and to the
filters used to provide clean air in your home; you rely on scientific
advancements for your health, entertainment, convenience, and comfort. While
many modern inventions make your life better, some may have serious negative
consequences as well. In this week’s Discussion you will explore the pros and
cons of modern conveniences.

During the week address the following questions:

1. Take a look at the various technologies that are in your family or living
   room. What “common” items are present now that the typical family could
   not possibly have had 100 years ago?

   Note: While you are limited in the variety of technology that you
   have in your homes, please try to answer differently than your
   classmates. You might answer with a technology that you do not have, but
   wish to have, or currently use in another place or room.

2. Have these technological advancements improved your quality of life?
   Explain.
3. In what ways does technology negatively impact your life?
4. People often talk about the modern conveniences provided by technology, but
   they rarely discuss the long-term effects that these technologies might have
   on the world. Beyond the individual, explain how technological advancements
   impact the planet — for the good or bad?
5. Propose a solution to the problems that technology may have caused to the
   environment and support your answer with a credible source(s) in APA
   format.

Be sure to review the Discussion Board Grading Rubric provided in the Course
