Hawaii’s Technology

              Our technology is currently developing rapidly and our technology is also getting more complicated and more advanced. Hawaii benefits from our technology by being able to do much more helpful things, such as researching on hawaii's environment etc. Although, technology requires electricity which also costs money, and currently Hawaii is finding out ways to make technology cheaper. Hawaii is also using its own technology to help its tropical environment to preserve our natural resources and wild life.

               Hawaii's technology is basically based on aquaculture technology and research on hawaii's environment such as scenery and landscape. Hawaii is very fortunate to be the world-center of aquaculture expertise in a wide variety of different species and technologies. Hawaii has been having its own private and public research organizations that have pioneered the development of extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive culture systems and regularly seek information around the world. The fact that Hawaii is the world-center of aquaculture expertise, I believe that it is a good thing, considering that Hawaii is a tropical place and also surrounded by water helps the researchers that are researching on hawaii. Being surrounded by water will be a lot easier to the researchers since their research is based on aquaculture technology. Local entities have extensive expertise in spawning and taking care of mullet, milkfish, fresh water prawns, marine shrimp, and marine finfish. Spawning these types of fishes is a good advantage considering that some parts of the world don’t spawn these types of aquatic animals anywhere else around the world.

                 Hawaii is home to its own leading technology companies in seaweed production and micro-algae.The production of seaweed will help our oceans environment and help sea life and make healthy habitats. Also micro-algae will also help because we can also use our technology to convert algae as a sustainable source of alternative resource. There are over 30 different types of plants and animals that are researched and raised in hawaii, they are grouped into four categories, algae, seaweed, shellfish, and fin-fish. Researchers use our technology today to research all those species that inhabit hawaii. Researching all those species would be a benefit just for hawaii so we know more about the different plants and animals for possible safety reasons. 

                Hawaii is also starting to use renewable energy; they are starting to use solar panels and also use wind farms. Now that hawaii has started using renewable resources. We can now use our technology cheaper. Also, prices would go down for electricity bills and that would help the economy a little. Currently 19 high schools in Hawaii recently have installed solar panels on their school roofs, it is said that they will save the Department of Education a lot of money on electricity, that would mean Hawaii's school will have a higher chance of getting more educational technology. 

                 Hawaii's technology now has benefited us in so many different ways, we have found out so much and discovered a lot of different things with technology. Technology is now advancing quickly and we are inventing new technology. Hawaii being a small place, our amount of technology is limited, and we must conserve the resources we have. Overall Hawaii's technology is beneficial to all of us.
