Technology: Beneficial or Detrimental?

I honestly am hung in between both beneficial and detrimental, because it can go either way just depending on how you look at it. Yes, technology benefits us with our healthcare, travel, communications, and education, but at the same time it also hurts us, because it is slowly has deteriorated our planet and also we have grown to reliant on technology. To go more in depth on the positive side of technology, without it there are thousands of people whose are changed because of the medical advances that have been created, for instance without these medical advances my knee cap would not be attached to my leg. Also without technology how would we get to school or work without having to wake up hours before we would originally have to, but with technology we are now able to get places faster through automobiles, trains, and even planes. Now we can even talk to people on the other side of the world with the technology we have now, whether it is through a phone or a computer, it is possible to communicate instantly. Tehcnology also hurts us though, and it does this because it tears our enviroment apart by polluting it. To most pollution is not a good enough reason for people to think that technology is bad for us, but if you really think about it, it is hurting each and everyone of us. The pollution is opening our ozone layer and this is making all of us more vulnerable to skin cancers. Now, we all breathe in every last bit of our own pollution, and that also is detrimental to our health.
