Technology advances at giant steps; all human beings benefit from technology, we seek to facilitate our daily work with it, but at the same time it threatens our planet. The main objective of technology is to transform the human environment and adapt it to the needs of humans. The technology is not bad, the problem is that the technology has not been used in a correct way; an example of this is how it has increased natural disasters, pollution by air and by land, and many other factors. The solution is not to stop using technology, but to preserve our natural resources. The solution that must be applied is a global issue, we must all commit ourselves, governments, citizens, international organizations, businessmen, among others; we must generate awareness, reduce energy consumption, increase awareness of recycling, and all activities that favor the environment so that future generations become aware of the risks that exist with advances in technology and take the necessary measures to preserve environment.

Student Marcela Niño

Since the beginning of humanity, it has used its ingenuity to create elements that allow it to guarantee its survival and even more to have a life that is increasingly comfortable and comforting, to transmit its knowledge, communicate more efficiently, expand its horizons, transport itself, know sites, explore the world, make life a more rewarding experience. Undoubtedly all this technology has brought enormous benefits to humanity and each of them has contributed to be a better world, however, not all scientific research has resulted in inventions or advances for the good of humanity, on the contrary they have been designed to destroy, to end life to deteriorate the planet, simply for the enrichment of some or for personal interests.

The technology should not be seen as an enemy, the dehumanization that produces the misuse of it is the one that attempts against the human being and its values; but it can be counteracted if it is controlled and exercised with authority, otherwise the impacts will be negative. Therefore, depending on the use that is made of it, so will be the result. Do not forget that technology is only a means and not an end.

Student Edwin Fernando Santos

I think that the man still can perform actions for change the wheatear, for example, having a good use of the waste and as principal topic for the life the three R; re-used, recycle, reduce, this words are very important for conservation an ambient nice, it is necessary to share whit everybody for creating awareness about that haven’t a planet unlimited, if we haven’t little acts from our home or indifferent environment’s our child they won’t be able to know the diversity that contains from the earth and they reproach us as the generation that can achieve some in a determined moment but, that for indifference or lazy we us don’t perform anything, however is necessary arose and abide for don’t arrive to beseech a few of air of have that kill a other people for water and different resources naturals, another activities that we can develop in our daily routines are: saved water closing the key, used less a car, used more bicycle, off the lights when you don’t use them, don’t use articles waste, use cloth bag when you going to buy the supermarket.

Student Lida Maria Mafla

We have already commented on several occasions that science and technology are amoral, whose risks and benefits depend on the use we make of them by the humans who have conceived them, avoiding the secret "progress" of military research. And so, we saw in a previous post that, for example, the advances in artificial intelligence are essentially borne by the videogame industries and the aforementioned science applied to the industry related to the ministries of defense and / or war, according to countries The philosopher of science, Paul Feyerabend, already denounced in the early seventies that science was being turned into the new religion to which we all had to prostrate ourselves. Later philosophical currents also accepted such a conjecture.

Any application that is developed for the good of humanity, but that can also serve to manipulate, subjugate or kill the citizens, usually ends up being implanted from both sides of the coin.

We reiterate ad nauseam that we urgently need to introduce at all levels of education and legislation, subjects and ethical codes that serve as red lines that cannot be crossed, never! But if science itself is a religion...

Student Mary Luz Gutiérrez

Technology today is an indispensable tool for any activity, it has become a necessary evil that every day is absorbing the environment of all of us, whose risks and benefits depend on the use that we destines humans themselves, eluding the secrets, one of these risks are the nuclear winter, biological weapons, thus promoting the so-called bioterrorism that uses biological technologies and pathogens to spread them among the population. This can cause climatic changes caused by this type of war, as well as soil contamination, which would not be arable, air and water. As a consequence, food crises and access to water resources that would accelerate deadly infections and epidemics of hunger among others.

In conclusion, technology can be a threat depending on the use that we put human beings, it can be good or bad if we do not know how to use it.

I conclude that this course has been of great importance personally for me, since I have learned a lot the basic part of English, it is gratifying for me to have a good progress in terms of the second language and it is good to know that the university demands this language English is the most spoken language in the world and in the future I know that having knowledge in the language will be of great importance to me as a professional

The methodology of the course is excellent, the tutor knows how to explain all the topics very well.

Another effective learning technique is to read in English and look for all the vocabulary that is not understood, that way you are impelled to learn new things and this is remembered more easily in the future. The way in which I think I learn better is visually, I get better information through videos, watching movies helps me to relate information faster, listening to music in English helps me to relate the way in which words are pronounced. thank the tutor for her good work in this course.
