I. Introduction : Nanotechnology has potential to solve problems related to human civilizations pertaining to both basic needs and aspirations for comfort life. The basic needs of human being are food, drinking water, energy, cloth, shelter, health and clean environment. The aspirations for comfort life are realizing the automation in every field, space travel and expanded life-span and so on. Due to continuous efforts of scientists and engineers during last 30 years, there is a substantial progress in realizing the nanotechnology based components and products in different areas including agriculture, food product and packaging, purification of water, automobiles, atmospheric cleaning, renewable energy, energy storage, consumer goods, sports …show more content…
ABCD Framework of Nanotechnology : Based on the potential ability of nanotechnology as general purpose technology and is considered as “anticipated breakthrough technology of 21st century” to solve all human problems and elevate them to highest comfortability, it is essential to know the detailed advantages, benefits, constraints and disadvantages of progress in nanotechnology for the society. (a) Advantages of Nanotechnology : Advantage is the quality of having a superior or more favorable position. It can be any state, circumstance, opportunity, or means specially favorable to success, interest, or any desired end. Some of the important advantages of nanotechnology are : (1) Nanomaterials are more efficient materials with very useful characteristics in terms of strength, lightness, ductility, extreme small size, thermal and electrical conductibility, and water repellency. (2) Usage of nanomaterials as raw material, machine or equipment reduces the size. (3) Nanotechnology ideas can be applied and implemented to solve almost any problem ever …show more content…
On the other hand, the obscurity of the form of future nanotechnology has bred some end-of-the-world scenarios. The most famous one is known as “Grey goo” which is a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating robots consume all matter on Earth while building more of themselves, a scenario known as ecophagy (“eating the environment”). Alternatively, the most dangerous outcome of molecular nanotechnology would be non-replicating weapons which are easier to
The “Rap-Back” Of Tech In the two stories, “Harrison Bergeron”, and “By The Waters Of Babylon”, the world is “destroyed”, or “remade”, after a technological “break-down”. Tech can very easily lead us to our own imminent demise, none the less it’s own, but usually, it may only do so with our allowing it.
Surprisingly, the realization that war with the same level of technology would be a bad idea was not learned until after another World War. Even though World War I had a statistically astounding number of deaths for the time, WWII had nine times as many deaths, and went on for two more years! We’re fortunate now to live in a time where there isn’t war where we’re living, but unfortunate that the reason for that is because if there is war, nuclear weapons will make
III. Conclusion Review of three main points- My three main points were why they are tools, why we should be able to keep them, and current
Technology in “The Veldt”: Moving Us Forwards or Backwards? Technology – evolving just as humans once have. From the very first flint dagger to Artificial Intelligence, technology is rapidly advancing and filling our world. In numerous movies and books, technology shows humanity what the future might be like if technology keeps advancing at such a rate.
Snapchat: The Latest Teen Pleasure or Parent’s Worst Nightmare Technology has made great advances in the past few years on a global scale. Works of fiction and informational text have addressed the numerous influences of modern innovation. Technological advances can have great benefits and many drawbacks to society. In Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt”, the Happylife House makes life easier in a number of ways.
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”- Albert Einstein (BrainyQuote.com). Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and The Martian Chronicles, makes this particularly apparent in his short science fiction story, “The Veldt.” “Through the remainder of the century, Bradbury continued to write novels and short stories but also branched out to many other formats and media. He has written play scripts, screenplays, teleplays, and poetry” (Milne). “The Veldt” was yet another example of his diversity.
1.1 Background of the Research Technology has always develop for a long time. Until today, it is still develops at a stunning pace. As a matter of fact, technology has touched every aspect of life; from the way we move by using a horse changed into automobile, from walking on the land to flying in the air and reach farther distance. The products we are using in our daily life also produced by the technology. Under those circumstances, including the economy, politics, and also society, are affected by technology.
This technological advancement is believed to be able to address the knowledge gap in neurophysiology and neurological disorder. Nanosystems on a chip, is said to be able to provide critical foundation to diagnostics biomarkers and point-of-care technologies as well as detection of pathogen. These advances, though not consistently available, are however thought to have huge potential in transforming healthcare sciences Rocco, M. C. (2011). Pharmacogenomics/genome sequencing is seen as another possible advancement and with pharmacogenomics; tools are still being industrialized for the bigger data examination which will help with the purpose of population healthcare. ’’
The fact that technology and science has developed incredibly fast over the past years is due to knowledge. We, the people, have become comfortable with the technology and science industry bombarding with new innovations and discoveries that has become part of our daily life. We never question ourselves the limit in where knowledge can become dangerous or if knowledge for good is able to intertwined with evil. The idea of too much knowledge becoming dangerous is observed in the classic novel, "Frankenstein," by Mary Shelley. Dr. Frankenstein pure intentions of creating a creature from dead by electricity turns out to be a dark twist.
Technology and Its Control Over Society In many of his pieces, writings, and novels, Ray Bradbury reflects the immense reliance and close connection that humanity has with technology. He also depicts the dangerous effects that could come from having this relationship, such as a loss of independency and self-control over one’s mind and actions. If humanity were to continue to allow technology to have this disastrous power and control, society’s downfall is certain and destined to come.
Have you ever stopped for a minute and tried to imagine how Humans will look like in 1000 years? Central Idea/Preview Statement: • For the next 4 minutes I’m going to explain how nanorobots, UV radiation, selected Mutations and Space exploration are going to dramatically change the way humans are over the next millennium. • For doing so, I will use Dr. Alan Kwan predictions, who holds a
Fear is a reasonable response when it comes to the development and nature of technology. Fear of the unknown and how it impacts our roles in society can trigger legitimate anxieties; humans often converge around massive technological shifts with a flurry of anxieties. People typically express the highest level of fear for the things they are dependent on, but that they don’t have any control over. This idea virtually represents a perfect definition of technology. Frankenstein and Ex Machina create fear in our society based off of the preconceptions of our interactions with technology.
Scientists in China during the Song Dynasty experimenting to find an elixir to grant immortality instead invented one the most deadly weapon: gunpowder. Gunpowder is the most negative invention not by creation, but by use. It is the basis for every weapon since it's invention and has more deaths attributed to it than the atomic bomb. Gunpowder has created more problems than it has solved. I concede not all uses of gunpowder are malicious.
To create something just using existing technology will not yield good results, and therefore to solve it we must have the creativity or skill in this field. When we already have both, then we will find the
Benefits of new technology Technology has grown rapidly in the last few decades and has contributed into many aspects in human life. Technology is a broad concept that has come to refer to breakthroughs in science that enables a better solution or automatic. With technology, there are many benefits that can be achieved by people. Day by day, technology made human live become easier and improved. Recent developments in technology can be seen and felt in many industries, but there are some areas that have benefited more than others.
