Technology

We are all at a time when a great technological shift is currently underway on our planet. I read stories about the latest achievements in micro-biology, astronomy, social sciences so on and so forth. Technology is derived from a scientific fact proven method where there is 100 % objectivity & accuracy. To me the prime purpose of technology will be to organize things, so as to make living easy and happy. Until now, it has been quite successful. If we look at the world map, we can see how technology is distributed throughout the world. People in Africa still lust for a cell phone, while in India a 15 year old can manage it. One other major contribution of technology to us is Transport System. Just imagine what will happen to a city like New York if its Transport fails for an hour. I would imagine very long traffic jams, a lot of sound of horn from cars, taxi rates fire up 10 times, public places full of crowd, a crowd which has no public means to travel. So, it is quite perceivable how technology organizes each and every one of us in current times. Even organizes our lives for us. And have you noticed that on average every 4th year a new nation takes birth somewhere in the world. It’s just how amazing & yet a shame to see that people are splitting up. Is it our present technology that is organizing the entire world? Technology is used for trade; trade is an essential human activity that takes place among each nation. Personally, I feel whenever there is a misunderstanding on the grounds of technology between a two nations, a conflict occurs.


This interference of technology in natural ecology of earth and in natural routine of humans, even I do not know that what will be its good effects after some decades. And I can even not imagine the bad condition if it happens to our ecology after some time. I have two points of view. One is that technology is very useful and harmless to people, earth and to the system of humanity. The other is, that it is detrimental to every other thing in our ecology
On the other hand it must also be noted that it can cause immense harm, if misused. It has always been misused when man has acted like a chimp and been greedy. A good example is the Last Industrial Revolution. At that time industrial concept was brand new. And people used the concept based on least amount of technological knowledge. Without having proper understanding that which substance is poisonous and which one is acidic?


Technology is a very precious gift to mankind. It can be used for good and for the bad. Technology often shows its ill effects when there is no proper knowledge or when science is taken for granted. By technology, science, art & creativity I am very optimistic that heaven can be created here on Earth.
