Plastic – One of the best inventions of man.
Plastic is light-weight, durable, low-cost, and has a wide variety of application ranging from a pen, which you use to write on the paper, to the waste paper basket, into which you throw the paper. Plastic undoubtedly has been the one of the greatest achievements by man. (Well, not comparable to the wheel though!) Anyhow, plastic has proved to be a boon in various ways. When you enter a hospital, you can never fail to notice plastic vials, bottles, syringes, tubes, and many more articles made of plastic; those which are used to save many lives everyday all around the globe. As I did mention above, plastic has replaced metals and glass as the primary material used in the manufacture of pens. To use metals to manufacture pens would be costly and using glass, though cheap, it is not a durable material. Plastic is used in the manufacture of thousands of home use articles such as boxes, cases, bottles, containers, tumblers, chairs, tables, and many more. It also, in some way or the other forms a part of almost all electrical equipment, be it the sheathing of a wire or a plug casing, or even the keys of your cell phone. Plastic finds itself in automobile, and aircraft parts; in kids’ toys, and everyday articles like a brush or a comb.
The extent of exploitation of plastic is unimaginable and never-ending. We have become exceedingly dependent on plastic, which is produced in large quantities every single day to suffice the demands for it. Plastic, though seems a very useful material, it has a very dangerous string attached to it. It is non-biodegradable; which means, it cannot be broken down further or changed in anyway by any organism acting on it. If you bury a leaf and a plastic article under the earth for hundred years; the leaf would have turned to humus and would have fertilized the earth whereas, plastic on the other hand would remain in the same state however long you wait for it. To put it in simple words, plastic once manufactured cannot be destroyed in any way. The magnitude of this property of plastic can be realized only after careful study of its direct and indirect effects that it has poised upon the environment around us. To think of a few,
Plastic waste accumulated in land fills amount to a lot of soil pollution over the years since they are non-biodegradable.
When plastic is burnt, the harmful fumes enter into the atmosphere and has direct effects upon someone who breathes it. And so, NO! we cannot eliminate plastic by burning it.
Plastic also finds its way into drains and sewage pipes, clogging them; more often than not, this may lead to water pollution directly and/or indirectly.

I agree that technology is more of boonthan a bane as it offers many different advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how a person uses the technology that is being given to the user and how the user puts the technology to proper use. Example of technology includes social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. People can also advertise for their business on such sites as many people uses them and it will attract attention from the users from that sites. People also can connect with...
