NEW TECHNOLOGY:A PROMISE OR A THREAT? Thursday, February 28, 2008
while scientific progress on new technology has a great potenial to increase our understanding of nature and provide new medical tools it should not be used as a justification to turn our enviroment into a giant scientific experiment by commercial interests.The bio diversity and enviromental integrity of the world is too important to our survival to be risked. The economic development of the world may also depend on the new technology. However only countries that can afford the new gizmos and gadgets can benefit from it.While the other less fortunate countries can’t benefit from the new technology will be deprived greatly as they do not gain anything and only loose more from their environment.
Also in the current world,in my point of view,many new inventions are coming up. And these inventions cause our treasured environment to pay the price for the harmful effects done by the people in the process of creating the inventions. Also the excessive greenhouse gas emission causes the ozone layer to constantly deplete. This will cause global warming and global warming causes many deathly effects such as high sea levels and melting of ice sheets which will result in floods. In my view I think that new technology poses a threat to mankind compared to the promise it provides us with.
