| description | In the contemporary context dominated by rapid technological advances, sustainable
development has emerged as an essential and globally significant topic of discussion. While
the undeniable benefits technology brings to everyday life, we must also confront the
significant challenges it poses to sustainable development goals.
One of the major challenges we face in promoting sustainable development is the
increasing dependence on the Earth's limited resources. Advanced technologies, including
electronic devices and electric vehicles, generate a growing demand for natural resources.
This phenomenon can lead to overexploitation of resources and significant negative
environmental impacts. Addressing this challenge and finding solutions requires the
development of more efficient and sustainable technologies, the promotion of advanced
recycling practices, and the identification of innovative alternatives.
Paradoxically, technology can also be a significant source of solutions for promoting
sustainable development. Through innovations like the Internet of Things (IoT) and
Artificial Intelligence (AI), we have the opportunity to monitor and efficiently manage
resources such as energy and water, thereby reducing waste and inefficiencies.
Furthermore, technology can facilitate sustainable development by providing increased
access to information and education in critical areas related to the environment and
sustainability. |
