The possibilities are endless to what technology and science can bring to our future. I guess one question we should ask ourselves is, what happens if it goes to far? I believe that science can be dangerous in the way it continues to grow as technology becomes more advanced and available. Take for example, the "invisibility cloak," though it's only at a stage where things can be invisible to microwaves, in theory science could potentially create a cloak invisible to light waves. Now understandably this could be great, but what happens when people start abusing this technology?
I am just afraid that as science and technology continue to grow, new inventions will be created that may eventually make humans useless in the workforce. As i see new technology coming out, i think about what everyone from the 40's and 50's think about this technology revolution. Sometimes i wish that our world could go back and just live in the world that they experienced. I hate how much we rely on technology these days and can only see this getting worse in time.

I really agree with you about having a fear of science being taken too far. I think, though, that this fear comes with the territory of new scientific discoveries.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder the same thing. If things just keep progressing more and more...how far will it go? I think that it can definitely get too the point that it has one too far, and that's when things are going to get interesting.
