I need a three page essay, I will write the prompt I was given below, if you could do that on the topic that I provided above.

Do you know what it takes to make the technology you use on a regular basis? What happens to that technology when it becomes outdated? You will research a technology, find out what elements from the periodic table that it uses, how those elements are extracted from the earth, and what happens to it once it is no longer viable. Construct an argument on whether or not your technology has a detrimental effect on the earth or society.
