Technology have fast-growing, it make us must have get much knowledge in no border Information. Who don’t know it can not survive. It will be horrible.
We expect most from fast-growing technology is probably a healthier world, but sometimes the opposite is true. History is vivid and a text for us. The major task of technology has been serving for wars, be it the hydrogen Bomb stored in many countries, sputniks launched into the orbit showing a country having the vehicle to carry the bombs, and even internet, hold names today, which emerged in America in 1968, being initially served for military strategy.
The result is astonishing. By the 1980s, the two countries, Soviet and American, alone had more than 50,000 nuclear weapons, now the figure having risen, which could kill the world people many times. Under such concept as weaker is sufferer, most of countries now to achieve the balance of terror. When people are endowed with great powers which render them to damage something easily, the only thing we rely on is the policymakers’ self-discipline and our vigilant consciousness, about which we peace-lovers always worry.
The technology oriented warfare purpose itself foretells its disastrous function on human’s mentality. Only observing the modern and contemporary periods, we may be familiar with the terms like the Lost Generation, the Beat Generation, and the Counter Culture. The progressive Anti-War Movement in the 1960s never pointed their fingers to the war back-supported technology.
Why so? The benefit we get from it makes us forget a murder helper it has been. Nowadays, few of us is able to resist or escape from the advantages brought about by technology.
First of all, technology promotes internationalization and globalization. The interrelated actions between technology and economy and its wide and profitable application, education, statistics, finance etc. invite vast money, resources and researchers to be invested in it. This makes a burdensome expenditure for any country to explore such a program separately, thus necessary for different countries to cooperate together in order to share complementary advantages, optimize resource allocation, decrease and divide the risks, and reduce unnecessarily repeated labor. The resulting achievements in updating technology are in turn further enhancing globalization, like what we get from IT technology.
In addition, technology has been promoting humanism and individualism. Those persons who enjoy a beautiful sound or a special athletic skill and who are lucky enough to become American Idol like David Cook or Kelly Clarkson would become a superstar overnight with assistance of television, internet or CD-video. Even more, technology allows us most common ones to have a voice in many stages. We could text a message to select the potential stars whom we love; we may cry our personal opinions on internet for a currently crucial topic that may be viewed by thousands of people; we may also publish a personalization-featured article in such a site as here. To show our personal identity, we can even wear newly invented rubber bracelets.
Such silicone wristbands, through the embossed letters on it, enable us to convey our inner voices and deep feelings. Many people like the silicone bracelet very much, for it works like a slogan or a logo can do for a group or a company. Indeed, this is a time everyone enjoys equality to express himself or herself. We do feel freer than ever for we can outcry our passions through so many outlets achieved by the development of technology, and be able to display what we are.
Someone argues that wars are able to speed up the development
of technology. The only thing worth mentioning is that it is technology that should serve for bettering our life and its objects are to beautify our living environment and not vice versa, i.e. that we serve for it. Remembering this we will be more sober and more selective about what we should explore from the wealth of technology and what use we should apply it to.
Hope we enjoy a bright future for all human beings.
