One advancement in technology is the computer. It can solve many problems and perform commands that average humans can't. One negative about computers is that they are making humans think less, overall making them less intelligent. Another advancement is the Assembly Line used in car manufacturing. It produces cars in a fast and cheaply way. A downside to it is that it takes up human jobs, which leaves many people jobless. One invention is the calculator. It helps people solve difficult math equations. A negative is that people are using it to solve simplistic equations, making them think less. Another technological advancement is the lighter. It helps people set aflame to objects needed to be heated easily. A negative is that it can produce uncontrollable fires, which can damage the earth.

1 advance in inventions are television's, provides entertainment. 1 disadvantage to televisions is burns up more electricity, which means were burning morning coal.
2nd advance in economy would be Alcohol, the advance would be that the economy sky rocketed because so many people demanded beer, one disadvantage would be that if you were to drink a lot of beer/alcohol, there is a good possibility that you might end up with alcohol poising.
3rd advance in invention would be the invention of a vehicle. The advance would be instead of walking every where, you were able to drive. The disadvantage would be that if you did own a car, the cost for the vehicle would be very high, you would have to pay for the gas, there isn't always a guarantee that the car will not break down on you.
4th advance in invention would be the invention in laptops, the advance in having a laptop would be that it is now portable instead of the home desktop, you may take it on the go. The disadvantage would be that there could be viruses on the laptop which could also create a big problem for your laptop.
5th advance in invention would be the invention of fax machine's. One advance in fax machine's is that if you need to send out a paper to a company, and they needed it pronto, you could just fax the paper over to that company. The one disadvantage would be that you would need a lot of paper, if you need a lot of paper, we rely on trees for paper, so the more paper we need, the less trees will be there.

The five advancements/technology that I chose that have postive and negative effects on the planet are:

Cars have limit transportation time from ten days to ten hours (example) yet they produce carbon monoxide that damage the ozone and pollute the atmosphere damaging lungs in humans and animals alike.

Electricity provides heat and light to many homes across the planet yet it uses fossil fuels to be powered in most areas but, water, wind, and solar energy can be an alternative that isn't always easy to obtain.

Computers are an easier and faster way for messages to get across the globe yet there is a constant increase in cyber-bullying leading to more suicides in minors, most of the time across the U.S.

Paper was the first type of communication invented which was commonly used long before the computer and texting was invented yet deforestation has led to less oxygen in the atmosphere because plants and human have a mutual relationship since our breathing cycle is the opposite.

Vaccines are created from the same viruses that threaten the human affected by the disease but sometimes these same vaccines can develop diseases for which they were vaccinated.

Those are the five inventions that I chose that have postive and negative effects.

1. Pesticides - decreased Malaria, a very harmful disease. The potential danger is that it poisoned the food chain.

2. Sewer systems - help with the collections of waste water but the potential danger is that microorganisms live in there and might spread diseases to every human.

3. Tractors/combines- do the farming to make it faster but the potential danger is that it is using so much fuel and ruining the environment.

4. Vaccines- help people get immune to it and not get infected. Also if they do have a disease then the shot will help it heal more efficiently.

5. Refrigerator- stores food for us so it won't spoil. The potential danger is that it takes a whole electricity to make it work.
