Is it not Modern Science and Technology a curse for mankind and the earth as a whole?

Ultimate goal of Modern Science & Technology is to overcome the limitations of time and space and it has succeeded to a great extent; I agree. But what modern man now suffers the worst is for want of time and space, we have to admit. Human beings, out of ignorance and ego, in search of satisfaction (peace and happiness), from womb to tomb, go on engaging in fighting against the nature instead of living in harmony with the nature and STILL boasting they are supreme amongst the creations! Is there any modern man really peaceful at the time of death?

    There will be many who will feel unhappy with your comment. Because they think man have achieved so much to improve their living.

    We need to realize this very important aspect of living. We human are suppose to live this life with total comprehension. While modernization is a way of improving our surrounding to make the changes with our ability of intelligent design with the human's mind demonstrates.

    When this minds demonstrate its ability, the "desire" inside them will claim victory with their "pride". Although they compete on land to contribute towards prosperity, this pride of "desire" inside them turned to "greed" and manifest their self esteem. Luxury became a matter of necessity and the pace became a race. The strong rule the weak, the smart trick the silly.

    When the human body was all that matters, their faces is their glory. The name they had as a person is their reputation to their face value. This is the beginning of the curse when there is no self restrain. The materialistic world became part of their manifestation to show their greed, pride, lust, envy, anger, gluttony and sloth. They are spiritually empty.

    Intelligent human beings with the right philosophy(atheism, agnosticism, anti-theism) are not boasting - on the contrary. We say that we are lesser than dust, compared to our Universe.

    We couldn't live in harmony with, no, it is impossible. Because we need breathing space. If we tried to live in harmony with nature, it would destroy us. Here are a few first thoughts in my mind:

    1.We would overpopulate the earth because without having the right technology we couldn't space travel = Chaos, murder, Fall of morals, End of humanity, civilisation fail.

    2. earth will eventually have another ice age/large meteor crash/critical tectonic plate crunch(will be the first massive one)/Pole change. Without the technology we will be wiped out. And if we manage to survive, but can't leave the solar system - the Sun will eventually turn into a red dwarf or a black hole, destroying Earth, Mars, Mercury, Venus, and leaving the other planets dead(cold - dead).

    OR we will crash with the Andromeda galaxy sooner than the depletion of the sun.

    If we have a chance of long-term survival it lies in science.

    Eventually our universe will die, when every star, galaxy, every material point will turn to absolute zero.

    Why not try to reach our full potential?

    so which you will incredibly have died for the duration of early adolescence then? devoid of technology and technologies possibilities are high you does no longer be right here to any extent further and whether you have been you will no longer have the skill to post this, no longer basically because of the fact there'd be no desktops, information superhighway etc yet additionally because of the fact all a while could be taken up with basically surviving, whether you had the desktops etc you would be so busy basically getting by employing you will have not got any time to post idiotic questions.

    The aim of science and technology is to know the truth and to stand by truth. Well it has wonderful achievements to date. The new inventions and discoveries lead to betterment of human race which are undeniable not withstanding the fact that it would not be misutilised as happen even in spiritual field . And all this has been done by the same fraction of supreme consciousness whom we call GOD. Out of our own arrogance we tend to call it as our achievement. The fact that truth can never lead to sadness , I am sure we would be able to take corrective steps too.

    "Is it not Modern Science and Technology a curse for mankind and the earth as a whole" wrote the idiot on his computer.

    He then uploaded his idiocy, which was distributed via many miles of cables, fibre optics and even satellite links, to be shared - in a few seconds - with people all over the world

    Okay then, go live hermetically in a cave..if you awake too a world where the rest of the species is no longer around..be happy to have survived the extinction event. We'll see just how much time passes when you'll miss said science and tech. Any faith in deities might disappear as well, since you'll have no choice but to find ways to survive your new environment-other than sitting and praying/speaking too yourself.

    No. More people now live longer, healthier, happier lives than at any time in the past. Natural disasters are met with international aid, not indifference as with the Irish potato famine. Miners are now saved by technological means. 50 years ago they would have died.

    You must distinguish the "Science and Technology" that had favored governments and unscrupulous individuals in our societies such as: Weapons of mass destruction, exploitation, and all the bad industries that are polluting our planet, and the science and technology that is being used for the goodness of mankind such as : Medicine, computers, transportation, and everything else that has allowed us to have better lives.

    Yes lets go live in the mud, eat only what we find and die at the ripe age of 30 from a curable disease.

    let me make this super simple for you. Don't like tech/sience? Try going without it for a full week. No electricity, no hand helds, no hospitals, no bathrooms, etc. You will realise Its not a curse
