Technology and Realities

A great saying, “You can avoid reality but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality”

Minds differ at finger print but every independent personal opinion is more variable, informative and worthy than other views. Science and technology helps a man to a certain facts, it gives him training in observation, widens immensely horizon of mind, extends its range, makes life more interesting and gives optimism. Its true that human beings were at the mercy of cruel nature before the birth of modern science and technology. No one can deny the discoveries that brought revolution in agriculture, industry, health and education. But this is not the whole story. Lets discuss the worst side of technological coin.

We are not only bodies and minds, we are spirits and souls, we dream and imagine, chat and sleep, think and reason, in short we have hearts, wishes, divine souls, feelings, and passion. But there are some blood curdling realities which badly affect all these things.

The worst thing that I see is the ‘Atom’, which cultivated unbelievable pains, danger and worries in human minds. As Albert Einstein himself says. “I will never forgive myself for uncovering of the atomic power”.

Now am I not right to curse the destructive atom, which washed Lacs of people in twinkling of an eye when it was thrown on the cities of JAPAN, which is Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

“ATOM FOR PEACE” is only a slogan. The west use tools of peace as a weapon of war. Poisonous gases are invented, machine guns and bombs are manufactured, armies are equipped to kill and plunder, burn and ruin the innocent humanity with automatic war weapons in no time.

Medicines are not only for life saving. Death is also the target of these medicines. The use of ready-made edible items is on its peak around the world but adulteration and malnutrition caused irreparable loss to human health.

See the advancement if media which is unchecked, immoral, and so liberal that fractured our social values, ethos and norms. The young mind is infused with vulgarity which brought more problems to the already damaged generation. Media is not only source of the truth but also propaganda, antagonism, lies, and immodesty.

Technology gives us a sense of power and everyone knows the misuse of power is……….! Men drunken with power are very dangerous if not ruled by wisdom. It doesn’t mean that technological advancement must be stopped, rather should be used intelligently. As a scholar says;

“To get something you never had, you have to something you never did, but if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got”.

Technology brought bless to the humanity, but also a big destruction. In fact, technology itself doesn’t bring harms, but men misuse it and bring violation in the world.

I will never forgive the beastly souls which brought humanity at the brim of destruction, and discovered new means of eradicating humanity from the globe.
