"Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster-Than it did in the old days-So naturally we have more natural disasters-From the strain of a fast pace--Sunday was the day of rest-Now its one more day for progress-And we can't slow down-Cause more is best-It's all an endless process" This is the first part of the song Mayberry by Rascal Flatts, and it maybe just a song but it does have a point that affects every day life. We are trying to advance all our technology and just want to move forward that we don't stop to look around us, we're not looking at how these "advances" are affecting our world, affecting the environment, how we interact, and many other thing.
Some of our advancements are hurting the world and we are not taking the time the time to pickup after ourselves. We are so worried about becoming more advanced that we take advantage of the world that we depend on. So we should be more aware of what our "progress" is doing to the world around us. For example many old computer models that have been out dated but are still usable are sent to third world land fills, where they are either disassembled or left there. Leaving the out dated computers in landfills is not a solution if you think of the space it uses up and how the toxins in the computers are seeping into the ground and flowing into the water supply of theses third world countries, which is making matters worse for them. Also when computers and other devices, such as cell phones, are incinerated the toxins pollute our air supply.
