Connections illustrate mixed positive, negative, and neutral associations, highlighting complex relationships between technological advancement, environmental challenges, and human expectations.The network diagram of WA results. Node size = frequency, colour = category (green = positive; red = negative; grey = unsure/neutral), edge thickness = co-occurrence strength
