Imagine a world where instead of nature, we see an artificial landscape that has taken nature's place. Technology has become an important part of our lives due to constant advancements, some of which have resulted in positive impacts and negative impacts.

Trees are very paramount to humans because they contribute oxygen and wood. Technology is eliminating all those necessities. Furthermore, in the last paragraph on page 2, on the way home from the museum, the narrator states, “Fingering the object in my pocket I picked off the grass. I think its called an acorn.” this quote proves that again technology is impairing humanity because its causing people to not know the past.

In summation, it is important to not let technology consume society so we do not annihilate essential materials and knowledge
