Hopes

Technology as others have stated has pros and cons. Cons would be we sometimes rely on them heavily and often take them for granted. The pros are obvious, it has simplified many daily tasks in life like automation and time consuming tasks. Without all the help technology provides it would make advancement in our society much slower than the current rate. Some might argue we are progressing too fast because we cannot sustain ourselves.

Recently we have been turning to technology/ science to figure out how to reverse the damage we have done to the climate. Originally we thought we could slow down the amount of pollution we are putting into the air, but after this was apparent it wouldn't work on its own. Many more countries recently have been prospering and their people are using more and polluting, and the government of those countries has to control those emissions just as the U.S has policies in place to limit its emissions.

Some ideas that have been thought up of how to combat global warning: "injecting sulfur dioxide
aerosols"
fertilize the open oceans with iron
"giant reflective helium balloons"
"putting sunshades above the Earth to reflect sunlight"
From: Global Warming: Technology vs. Choice

Some of these ideas are far from ordinary but innovation is what our society thrives on. Even if we can use science to create a way to help reverse what we have done to the climate/atmosphere it still comes down to our behavior as people. The solution sound simple, change our behavior when it comes to things like this. In reality that is extremely difficult and it again is one of those things a lot of people take for granite. It good take a whole generation or some type of event for people to wake up .
