The term ‘Technology’ refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes and the machinery and devices developed as a result. We are currently living in a period of rapid change, where technological developments are revolutionizing the way we live, at the same time as leading us further into the depths of catastrophe in the form of climate change and resource scarcity. It increases industries coupled with technological progress affects the environment in a number of ways. Using of computers both in the home and universe has a considerable impact on the environment. Emission of large quantity of greenhouse gases such as CO2, SO3 in the air by large industries causes air pollution which in turn has degraded environment. Further, technology contributes to depletion of resources. New technological goods are often burdensome to the environment. While technology can be a powerful force to improve our standard of living, it comes at a cost. People currently value the efficient use of resources and technology, one way through which human beings have made extensive use of resources in a very efficient way to encourage minimal wastage. The New knowledge in such areas as materials science and industrial design is used to create new eco-friendly materials and processes, the long-run these simple changes will have a considerable impact on the environment and help to preserve forests. The industrial revolution has brought about new technologies with immense power. The industrial revolution has brought about new technologies with immense power.
