Let\u2019s have a brief overview of how technology is revolutionizing the energy sector:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All the digital technology which is the basic need of the modern world work on electricity. Electricity production on such a large scale in hydropower dams through electric turbines and electric generators is possible only through technology. The generators store electricity and it is transmitted to the cities for consumption.<\/li>\n<li>Recently developed solar technology is emerging at a rapid pace due to its benefits as an economical and clean source of electric city production. More research work is in progress to run all types of vehicles on solar energy to prevent dependency on limited resources of fossil fuels.<\/li>\n<li>Fossil fuels contributing about 80% of the energy needs of the world. Fossil fuels are explored on land as well as on oceans through the latest mapping technology.

These by-products have toxic chemicals and gases which are carcinogenic which cause health problems. A large amount of these by-products is disposed of, in lakes, canals, and rivers which are accumulated in oceans that have endangered marine life too.<\/li>\n<li>Emission of a huge amount of different gases including carbon dioxide, carbon mono oxide, and sulfur oxide from vehicles, ships, and airplanes is also an evolving problem that is one of the primary causes of many diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and cancer.<\/li>\n<li>Due to the lack of control strategies the by-products from industries and emissions from vehicles have become a major problem in many developing countries where health facilities are not advanced and affected the health of millions of people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_problems_caused_by_Technology\"><\/span><strong>Health problems caused by Technology:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Good Health is the basic rule for living a good life but unfortunately due to the misuse of technology people are suffering from different sorts of health issues.

With such a large amount of vehicles and industries running on daily basis emissions of toxins and heat energy have tremendously increased. Heat energy emission to the atmosphere is giving rise to global warming which is resulting in climate change. It has now become a hot issue that has been addressed in the UN assembly by the world leaders.<\/li>\n<li>Globalization and industrialization are resulting in deforestation. More than 50% of industries are promoting deforestation for their raw materials. This deforestation disturbs the ecosystem which results in unexpected weather patterns. Climate change is making farmers bear losses which can fan hunger in poor families.<\/li>\n<li>The Australian forest fire of 2019 which killed millions of animals and destroyed homes and lands is the consequence of climate change. The frequency of such forest fires may increase in the future due to climatic changes caused by the excessive use of hazardous technology.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technology_is_architecting_warfare\"><\/span><strong>Technology is architecting warfare:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The rapidly increasing use of technology in wars is making society harmful for the people to live in.
