Environmental Pollution

The contamination or spoliation of the natural environment is known

as pollution. It disturbs the natural process of the environment.
Environmental pollution also causes harm to our environment by disturbing
the natural balance. There are different types of environmental pollution
such as air pollution, water pollution, land pollution, noise pollution etc.
There are different causes of environmental pollution. Among them, waste
materials of different industries, ejaculation of poisonous gases,
deforestation, smoke emitted by vehicles or factories are the major factors
that cause environmental pollution. In modern world environmental
pollution has become a serious issue for the whole world. Due to
environmental pollution, the temperature of the earth is increasing day by
day. The air of the earth is no longer remaining fresh and sweet. People are
suffering from many diseases in every corner of the world. Again in the
metropolitan cities increasing numbers of vehicles not only causes air
pollution but also disturbs our ears by causing noise pollution. In this
century everyone is racing for industrialization or development. But this type
of blind races may destroy the greenery in our environment.
On the other hand water pollution is another type of environmental
pollution. In our country in most of the areas river water is the only source
of drinking water. But almost every river in India is in the grip of pollution
due to the negligence of people. Poisonous waste materials from industries
are thrown in the rivers and as a result of that, the river water gets polluted.
People also pollute river water in the name of traditional beliefs. For example,
people still believe that the ashes (Asthi) after burial ceremonies should be
thrown in the river, the hair needs to be thrown in the river after Mundan etc.
Water pollution gives birth to different water born disease.
Environmental pollution needs to be stopped to secure the earth for
our successors. We should keep our planet healthy to keep ourselves fit and
healthy.
Effects of technology on teenagers

The effects of technology on teenagers has been very large. Anybody born after 1980 has
not experienced life before the introduction of personal computers, and have enjoyed the
conveniences of modern information technologies their entire lives. The introduction of personal
computers in the early 1980s presaged an enormous change in how we live our lives. For
teenagers, the differences are enormous, and not entirely good.

The main effects of technology on teenagers has been in the way in which they spend
their free time. While the use of computers in the classroom has certainly changed the way
children are taught, the wide-spread use of computers at home and, with the invention of cell
phones and tablets, their use on the go, has fundamentally transformed the way teenagers
conduct themselves in almost every way. It is the rare teen who is not seen walking along the
street with either a cell phone held to his or her ear, or the ever-present ear-buds connecting their
heads to a IPod or similar type of MP3 player. Teens spend much of their time at home using
computers, for studying and for playing games. Whether this change has hurt their ability to
communicate or interact with other people in the more traditional ways of the past is
unknown. What is known is that teens are more absorbed in their technologies than ever before.

One of the worst results of teen use of technology is the wide-spread and very dangerous
practice of “texting” while driving. Driving a car is one of the most dangerous tasks anybody
can do during the course of a day. Over 100 Malaysians die every year in car accidents – and
that was before the added distraction of texting while driving. Teen texting while driving has
added a dangerous new component to the everyday task of getting to and from one’s destination.

Another negative effect of technology on teenagers has been in the area of

bullying. Bullying has always been a problem among children and teens, but the ability of
bullies to taunt their victims anonymously over computers has made the problem even
worse. Similarly, cell phone cameras have been abused many times by teens to humiliate other
teens when embarrassing photographs are sent around over their phones.

These are just a few effects of technology on teenagers.
