Jevons paradox-Can technology solve all our problems?

We will try to answer the difficult question- Can technology solve all our problems? with the help of 3 concepts,
1. Jevons Paradox
2. IPAT Equation
3. Entropy
Jevon’s paradox, also known as the rebound effect, is an economic concept that describes the counterintuitive relationship between improvements in efficiency and increased resource consumption.
Technological advancements aimed at enhancing resource efficiency often lead to greater overall consumption of those resources rather than conservation
Conclusion:
1] We need to understand the complex relationship between resource efficiency, technological progress, and resource consumption
2] Although efficiency improvements are vital for sustainable development, it is crucial to recognize the potential rebound effects.
3] Understanding the paradox can inform policymakers and researchers to consider not only efficiency gains but also the broader system dynamics when addressing resource conservation and sustainable development goals.
