Tech - Bad Or Good - Or is the Jury Still Out?

Many consider that technology is bad as it takes people away from the important things in life, such as family, community and love. This is a decent debate thinking about the evolutionary history of the human species, but obviously all technology is not bad.


For example the Rural Poor of Honduras require little things such as a solar panels for lighting for their own schools, churches and septic tanks, or knowledge of how to build them. In parts of Africa, they just need to learn how to drill wells for little villages to the off-rainy season.



Tech, even the most elementary technology could vastly enhance their own lives, and it wouldn't even take that much, only a little will be fantastic.===What's technology in that case awful? Of course, the counter argument has to do with other issues, such as cell phones, computers, iPods, robotics, and the future of nano-tech and artificial intelligence.


Indeed, it's unfortunate that people have used the technology and power in irresponsible ways like using nuclear power to build WMD.


Of course, the people learn from these things, which can be great. These were some critical instances in WWII when the US dropped the first and only atomic bomb at a war. In the future humanity will unlock a lot of other secrets to physics also. Some will be so strong that they will solve all of the topics of energy, space flight, propulsion, pollution, etc.. And the question is mankind ready for them?


Well, no and yes. Certain elements aren't ready, others are. Can humans be trusted with such power? Again some may , others, well, I'm not so convinced. So, who determines? That in itself is a large responsibility.


I believe humans can manage it, but there will be issues and a learning curve also. It's definitely something we ought to be thinking about.
