this picture is basically saying that California has a real bad drought of water and is running out of it rapidly.

The rise of technology will impact because in the video of turning sea water into drinking water will be dangerous because their can be a drought and cant affect the marines and us the people because soon there can be no such thing as a sea. Also technology can impact when the street lights can see what we are doing every step we take and how many people are in a building because terrorist will be able to use it to attack. It will help the terrorist find their target etc.

Technology has expanded and became a very important issue that is increasingly catched business people's attention. San Diego is using technology using reverse osmosis pilot system to clean ocean water for us to drink .Technology is helping us but at the same time it is passing its limit .A part of public awareness means doling out practical advice on how to save water at home, such as only watering lawns at night, not running the dishwasher until it's completely full, and taking shorter showers. This can help us save water but overall , we need to use technology to help us gain water .

i agree with u. technology is helping us but it is passing its limits. lots of people are loosing their jobs because of this. we have technology that could take your order for you instead of waiting for the waiter.

I personally agree with Elena that technology has become an important part of our lives not only for the businesses side but even in our daily bases. Even though technology can be used for amazing things there should be a limit to how much technology can do for us.

In addition to the cameras, In my opinion its really wrong that they will be spying you all the time because that's what they're basically doing. They are not giving us any privacy.

i agree with you Aurora i think it is really wrong for the cameras to be spying us all the time we would not be able to have any privacy. And we would not feel comfortable doing anything because we are being watched all the time.

So basically it's saying that California Drought is so bad that they have to get water from the sea and turn it into drinking water by separating the salt from the water and removing all the other stuff that's in sea water . In the video the lady said they were making 50 million gallons of fresh water a day.

Technology is already advancing so far, in San Diego they are working on a project that could change sea water into drinking water. This technology is going to change the way we live. If we start to take sea water and use it as drinking water the aquatic animals wont have that much water to live off of. Modern issues such as drought could be solved with this solution but in the long run the ocean will eventually dry up and we wont have any water to drink.

Modern technology seems like a good way to improve our style of living and in a way it is. Modern technology can help combat all the damage that we as a species have accumulated on this planet. Smart houses/cities are reducing our carbon footprint and reducing our usage of resources. These advancements are very costly. To build this technology it costs billions of dollars and it often reduces the need for human workers, which will reduce the number of jobs available and affect the economy negatively.

California is in a major drought. due to san diego we have been work on a project that will provide clean water. this type of technology will make a big change, they will be taking sea water and will be processing it into clean drinking water.its a decent idea but sooner or later sea water will no longer be there eventually its going to dry up and we will run out of ideas to provide us water with this big drought.

Today we already have technology that's advanced. Yet little by little as shown on the video we will have much more smarted and even more advanced technology to the point that in San Diego right now they are building a machine that will take water from the ocean and make it into drinking water. That is also a problem which we are facing right now the fact we are running out of water and are in a droubt. So as a solution according to the people creating this they think we are in a way saving our selves but what they don't realize is as years pass by the sea animals will run out of water which they need to live and die.

The rise of technology will be a big help to modern issues because problems will be fixed a lot faster than before. For example like the big belly trash cans in Philadelphia, hold 5 times as much trash as a normal trash can. It crushes down the trash every once in a while and a notice is sent to the workers when its full. Therefor the garbage people don't have to go 17 times per week like they usually did, now they only go 4 times a week. Which saves the city millions of dollars because they had to let go some of their workers since they don't need as much any more.

The rise of technology will impact people lives for the better from my point of view. For example the drought of CA wont be anymore because what I saw on CNN which was people building desalination plants so people in San Diego can get access to fresh water. I think some people in power will build some desalination plant for LA. Also crime is going to be reduce what we have now. With police cars reading license plates because now maybe the cops won't shoot the wrong person.

The raise of technology can impact us maybe in a good way as for example here in California were in a drout and have tp take care of our water. In abudabi they have some technology that makes them save lots of water maybe that technology can be the stop of drouts. Another thing technology can help out with is crime as in the video i saw the police can track u down by just checking your licence plates they could know the persons full history. that way they would know who is good and who is not , to stop crime . Technology can be a good associate.

I believe that modern technology could possibly become a threat and a miracle because people today in our society use technology for illegal purposes such as I.D fraud, counter fit, hacking etc. .If technology advances it would become more easier for criminals to access other devices and receive personal information that belongs to someone else, or harm the economy.However, modern technology could also benefit man-kind because the world is full of issues like global warming,drought, and diseases.If technology advances it would help us create a breakthrough that could possibly save us from harms way. For example, 3D printing is one of the most excellent creations of all time considering the fact that it could copy organs,body parts, and food. If we continue to advance technology there are endless possibilities to what we could do like cure diseases, feed the poor, rebuild houses,and possibly repair the earths atmosphere. In conclusion, technology could either save us or become a disaster depending on how we use it.

Technology will impact the water by taking the seawater and purify it.Also the crime would be that alot of cops have license plate readers andcan spot vehicles.new resources will be openedto know information ofpeoplelike new buildings new reducings of water and wastes of trash

If all of this recognition technology is out there how can we guarantee that it will be used righteously? It may be somewhat beneficial, but the possible harms can outweigh the positive benefits.

Technology has increased so much that we never thought that technology would do more then what it does now. i think that technology could be helpful for us but there has to be a limit on what technology can do for us. technology can help us on the things that we need help on, on the more important things. technology does need a limit on what to help us on

technology is all around us and pretty soon it will take over. people have not noticed that today's technology is getting smarter then humans who created it. people think that technology is hear to help us but its really not. technology is making us humans look stupid. if we don't stop with this technology pretty soon us humans will be stupider then ever, and technology will run our life's and what remains of it.

Modern Technology can impact society by giving a solution to the bigger issues that we have such as the drought. This technology can combat this issue by coming up with new projects to get fresh water, such as the project in San Diego. This can have a positive impact on society because we'll have a new water resource and we won't have to worry about it so much. But it can have a negative impact on the environment because all the salt and and taken out of the water can pollute the ocean once it is thrown back in.

According to the videos and articles, I believe that the way people are trying to help us from having water will cause more droughts in California. Although its a good thing so that we have more water we will soon run out of water and will need more which will cause more droughts in California. We also have to keep in mind the animals in the ocean the more droughts we have the less we will have for resources to keep us alive. In the article about technology in New York shows how it will help us which is why is a good thing that technology is becoming so advanced not we should learn to use it in a way where it will benefit us and not harm us.

The drought in California has pushed people to make an innovation on other ways to obtain water. New technology has been invented to purify ocean water. According to the San Diego Billion-dollar water bet video 99.9% of the sea salt is removed from the water in order to make it drinkable. This will improve the water drought and be able to provide water to people and crops. The political cartoon is basically projecting an image of the world without water. Water is necessary to live.

I believe the integration of technology into our community is a very important so we can continue to grow. However, there has to be some sort of limit. For instance, using technology to help solve the current California drought would be great. Also, using technology to find better ways to save water would also be beneficial. On the other hand, using technology for crime would be a little too extreme depending on how it is used. For example, using street cameras to find the Boston marathon bombers was a successful use of technology. But, using it to profile people of color, which probably is already happening, would be too extreme. It is all about finding a balanced middle ground.
