Where Technology Meets Concrete
Technology plays a highly important role in sustainable development because it is one of the most significant ways in which we interact with our environment.
We use technologies to extract natural resources, to modify them for human purposes, and to adapt our man-made living space. It is through use of technology that we have seen drastic improvements in the quality of life of many people
Unfortunately, many of these short-term improvements in the immediate quality of life have also exacted a great toll on the environment. In order to proceed toward sustainability, we will have to be more deliberate and thoughtful in our employment of technology. We need to develop and utilise sustainable technologies.
To avoid confusion and ambiguity it is necessary to establish a working definition of “technology.” Here, the term “technology” is taken to mean “the application of knowledge to the achievement of particular goals or to the solution of particular problems”.
