Through technology, people can change the land and improve transportation. In 3-5 sentences, describe two technologies that have impacted the land. What are the good parts about these technologies and the bad parts? (4 points)

1 answer

Two significant technologies that have impacted the land are GPS (Global Positioning System) and drone technology. GPS has greatly enhanced navigation and land surveying, allowing for more efficient land use planning and resource management, ultimately leading to better transportation routes and reduced travel times. However, its reliance can lead to data privacy concerns and potential over-dependence on technology, which may result in loss of navigational skills. Drones, on the other hand, have revolutionized agriculture by providing real-time data on crop health and enabling precision farming, which can increase yields and reduce waste. Conversely, their use also raises issues related to airspace regulation, privacy invasions, and environmental concerns related to their manufacturing and battery disposal.
