Assumption 1. Technology breads laziness.
I can say from personal experience that this is a true factor. I have found that in the past few years I have been communicating with people more and more via the internet. This makes it hard for me to leave the couch and go outside when I know I can do so many things on the computer. It is also becoming a cultural norm for people to become more lazy due to technological advances. An example could be the fact that some people now never leave their homes due to the fact that they can just work from home on the internet. Texting, video chats, and instant messaging really allows people to be lazy and get away with it.
Assumption 2. Technology creates additional waste.
Just looking at the enviornment today one can tell that technology is creating more and more waste. Poloution is also becoming a problem due to the fact that technology is becoming more and more massivly produced. An example can be China, the poloution over there has become out of control due to the production of better, more efficient vehicles and other technological manufacturing. Another fact is that some computer parts can not just be thrown away like garbage so in order to destroy them it takes a long process and alot of time just to destroy waste that should have otherwise been a non factor.
Assumption 3. Science & Technology are part of human nature.
When looking at how we live today it is more or less impossible to live without technology. Science and Technology are everywhere, from hospitals to museums to spaceships. the world we live in needs technology to survive. Though science has caused some harm to man kind it still has created a number of medicines and techniques in order to cure disease and man made problems such as poloution.

I agree with number three, I feel that there is great amount of technology that has been beneficial to mankind, and also some that has been destructive for to mankind. I believe with the further advancement of technology the world will only become a better place.
Good job on the assumptions and the influencing factors, but where are the questions? Is each individual member supposed to post his/her own? Which takes me to my next question: who are the members of this group? I can't grade the assignment until all the components are complete and the members are listed.
This was my individual part in the group. Rick flores posted the questions for our group which included, Ddufour, Rick, Zoe, Myself, and another member who I'm not sure of her name. If you want I can talk to you about it later today in class.
