How have technical and economic development led to more consumption of resources?

Technical and economic development has significantly increased resource consumption in several ways. Firstly, advancements in technology have led to increased resource extraction and production efficiency. This efficiency has made it easier and more cost-effective to extract and process resources, leading to higher consumption rates.
Secondly, economic development has fueled consumerism and a culture of constant growth, which encourages people and businesses to buy and consume more products and services. For fulfilling those demands even more resources are exploited. Moreover, the development of new technologies, such as smartphones and electric vehicles, has led to a surge in demand for rare minerals and metals that are being searched and extracted with the help of technology.
