Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company
• No matter what the technology, there are both risks and benefits.
• For example, cars allow personal freedom by letting you go almost anywhere and carry heavy items that you could not move on your own.
• However, cars use gasoline that is made from oil, a limited resource. They also cause air pollution and can be dangerous if not driven properly.
