The theme is for all new technologies. For those of the last twenty years - smartphones, the mass ingress of the internet, social networks. As well as more generally about technology became a fact in the late 19th or 20th century - cars, planes, a television, a radio. Did they really help us and progressed as humanity? When they became a fact, these technologies were considered a huge advance, something that would inevitably improve the quality of life. But is it really...? Yes, now we're in cars and we don't ride horses and carts. But we're poisoning the air polluted by these cars, and we're fighting wars over the oil that feeds them. Paradoxically, sometimes in big cities, there are such traffic jams that you will get faster from point A to B on horseback than by car. TVs and smartphones? Social media? We're supposed to be connected to everything and everywhere, but in the end, we end up being lonelier, more dependent, and more selfish than ever before. We zombie on favorite shows and social networks and forget about the real world. The development of culinary and numerous foods and drinks have not helped anything other than being overweight and food waste worldwide. Aircraft? You can travel, work, and live anywhere. And what's better than being on your homeland, enjoying your own home without being a tenant and tenant? Travel and resettlement opportunities depopulate weaker countries, lead to demographic collapse, as well as a huge difference between life in major cities and the province. When, after the Industrial Revolution, mechanized machines were created to replace manual labor, people must have believed that one day there would be no poor, everything would be done by machines and people would not have to work. As we can see, it was all a delusion. For me, the contribution of technology (in general) is more of a negative contribution than a positive one. Your opinions?
