      I don’t think, personally, not directly at least. It is much more of a worry to humankind if we keep consuming beyond the resources of our planet, and end up making it a place we can no longer live in… I do think we are much more likely to put our future in danger through not respecting and not protecting our environment. In fact, there are already examples that this is the case, so it is up to all of us to stop it getting any worse…

      I agree with Isabel! I also think that we can be smart and responsible and use electronics and technology in a way that helps us improve the way we live and take care of our planet. For example we have been able to make light bulbs that need less energy to function, and are now trying to make cars that are environmentally friendly widely used.

    I think this is possible as we are making robots that recognize surrounding and learn. also if we end up making one super computer to control all electrics it might be to powerful another thing that could happen is we end up relying to much on Tec and when we end up running out of resources we have no idea how to survive.
