Journal 66: Better Things?

A change might be good or it might be bad. The change from hunting to have surplus to developing cities,  industrialization, urbanization, are being argued both ways for being either good or bad. We really don't know what's a good change and whether advancement in technology sense is really for the best. True, our technology is getting more and more efficient. Efficient in doing what? Efficient in cutting down trees and  destroying our environment for a easier and more convenient life. Some people argue that urbanization is defiance of God and nature and we shouldn't exploit our homes like this. It's a shame that we are cutting down trees, digging into the ground for minerals and oil, and polluting our environment, but isn't that what we want. Even the activists that are against urbanization, technological advancement, probably live in a nice house, owns a car, uses public transportation or taxi, and has a smart phone or a laptop or both. I believe that urbanization is for the better because the world becomes more convenient, people's life become better at the cost of environmental damage. As a kid brought up alongside technology and convenience, I wouldn't just want to live at a place filled with green grass and trees because nature sometimes can be disastrous and very hot like an oven.
