It's not technology. It's physics. In physics you cannot destory matter only change its form. Therefore, resources and wastes are the same matter only in a different form. Technology can change what we call a resource and what we call waste. Don't forget Einstien's E=mc2. If we have energy, we can make as much mass as we want (with the appropriate technology). We will not run out of resources until our sun dies.

Disagree. We are already in position of predicting the running out period of the resources (limited). The global politics regarding this indicates that we will be out of resources (limited); but may be because of this awareness we are going to be more efficient in utilizing the resources and may be we will able to utilize the resources little longer then the predicted.

I think we will run out of specific resources (petroleum), but I agree overall because it will be a huge money maker to keep producing the same items and the new resource used to make/run them.

I agree, new technology will provide new resources, but new resources usually have an initial higher cost, and mostly they are initially of lower quality then old resources.

(im not a nerd) the world will never run out of resources.....we believe that if one thing is destroyed, it will be deducted to our resources.......the fact is that we are stuck here on earth so.....nothing is destroyed, it just changes from one form to another.......N.E.R.D(No one. Ever. Really. Dies)

Disagree. Also, stay in school and maybe someday you will learn about finite resources.
