Now we have modern safety technology we can explore more.
Is this a good thing, or does it encourage people to take bigger risks?
You might want to structure your answer like this:
I think this is a [good thing/encourages people to take bigger risks] because [your reason, using an example from the video]. One effect of this technology is that [explain how it changes things like behaviour or decisions making]. However, others might argue that [alternative view].

Hi every one, I'm Philosophical_fox and i think that technology really contributes positively to more safety in exploration for example drones are created to video or take the picture or image of some of these fierce or agressive animals or creatures and there are some animals that don't like to be seen so hidden cameras and drones improve and help in making exploration fun and safe. I hope this small explanaition helps you all. comment your different opinions on this let me know.
you make good points, philosophical_fox -- but does technology's increase to safety have a down side, in that it encourages people to take bigger risks?
