Technology

Technology improves human’s everyday activities, which makes our lives easier. However, its jeopardy takes a more potent effect rather than its objective of creation, that is, to simplify human’s busy lives. With improved medical services, human life spans are stretched to a longer extent, which will eventually lead to an ageing population. This overpopulation may lead to a lack of resources, bringing ecological stress, not to forget the imminent dangers caused by the Internet. Does it provide all information for the good of mankind or otherwise?

As we mentioned earlier, a better healthcare due to technological advances of scrutinizing the problems of certain illnesses, overpopulation may be experienced an area due to the larger proportion of senior citizens with longer lives. At this state, the area cannot be supported stably as there is less working population of age ranging from the early youth to the fully-grown adults. These people work for providing resources to support families with food, water, and other daily vital supplements.
Accommodation is also improved as more infrastructures and other transportation routes are built. As a result, the spread of diseases can also be omnipresent in the area, because the outspread of them is also mounted.

People burn fossil fuels to provide an alternative energy source other than the Sun: electricity. This process augments the depletion of ozone layer, which lets more UV rays to penetrate to the Earth and to create global warming.
Raw materials obtained from nature, such as wood, are also made under technological processes to give us paper. People don’t realize that the cutting down of forests will increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and, in addition to that, the loss of habitats for animals. Extinction of certain species of animals is possible.

The most popular matrix in which identities are irrelevant is the Internet. This is where we find all sorts of information we want to know about, including the construction of weapons of mass destruction, normally looked up by terrorists. Maybe these weapons are meant for educational purposes, but these weapons may be considered as destructive machineries for others. Look at Dan Brown’s best-selling novel “Angels & Demons.” An honored scientist who succeeded creating “a whole new world” of antimatter was foreseen as a sinner of God through the eyes of a zealot. The scientist was murdered by the zealous dignitary, who then terrorized the whole of Vatican by using the antimatter’s destructive hazards to prove that God’s path of virtue in life was forgotten in the battle of science against religion. Terrorism was then what it was called, where riots are all over the city. This is currently a major concern worldwide, and who knows whether the judgment day is approaching?

In conclusion, I think that technology have been working for its motive by improving the hard lives of people, but its harm towards us is the main dynamic behind its origination, whether we are aware of it or not. With these environmental catastrophes occurring under chronological process, the end of the world is surely heading its way, sooner or later.
