Technopolies

With new technology also comes new worry. Just because something is new does not always meen that it is better. New technology can do good but with the good also come the bad. with all of these great new TV's, cars, and buildings that we are creating we are also using up valuable natural resources.

Technology is not always a bad thing though. Within the medical field we need a level of advancement in medacine to keep our bodies healthy and fight disease.

Without these new technologies in medacine we would still have diseases like small pox and getting even a common cold could be serious.

I think that technology in architecture should move toward sustainability. This is a form of technology that could use more improvement. Ideas of sustainability such as solar panels, wind power energy, and natural sources of heat and light should be applied to every new building to ensure a beautiful earth for the generations that follow.
