Is technology a threat or a promise?

People have been wondering if technology will be a threat or a promise in the near future. AI gore and other environmentalists have shown us the importance of preventing climate change in a documentary called ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. Actually technology can be a threat or a promise depending on how we use it. If we use it for bad causes like deforestation, it is a threat to us but if we use it for good causes like creating better medicines, it is a promise to us. There are pros and cons in technology. The pros are, better medicines are created to improve our health and living conditions, automobiles are created for us to reduce the burden of walking from places to places and lastly, air-conditioner are also created to help us sleep better at night. It also helps to relieve our burden as we can find information we need easily on the internet. The cons are, even though automobiles do help us but it also harms us as well because carbon monoxide are released from the car into the air causing air pollution and machines are use to cut tons of trees per day, causing global warming as carbon dioxide are not taken in by the trees to make. Air conditioners are also depleting natural resources as coal is needed to produce electricity even though air-conditioner helped us to sleep better at night.In my opinion, technology have help us and harm us at the same time. The only way to prevent this from happening is to find a permanent solution or create a technology where it will help us and not harm the environment. Frankly speaking for me, technology is more of a promise than threat to me as it helps me more than it harms me. For environmentalists and governments, technology might be more of a threat than promise to them. That's what I think it might be.
