What do you think is the future of humanity, advanced technology or a return to simplicity?
I like technology to a point. It's best to use it but do not become a vice . Nature begins to die: the trees disappear, the desert began to grow and you will see that shortly will become unbreathable air . Increased pollution in industrialized cities.
If in past centuries a man wanted to see Africa say try to get up there, now everyone can see Africa on TV, what use would have to go up there. Yearning for some adventure: buying a computer game.
What is more important than human beings and animals? The moods expressed in the circumstances of ecstasy and agony? Hated and love , not realize how important people around us are.
Because of technology, ultrasound,find a way to know the gender of a baby.
Who want the Internet in many cases bring the virtual world ; lonely , prefer physical contact is becoming less , banality envelope is no longer in fashion , is very little or no used.
With few clicks we solve all the problem.Dar offers internet is not as nice as that .
I'm nostalgic, old faded when the period corresponded through letters, remained alive in memory and emotion .. Surprises created since the piece of paper that are incomparable, the Internet helps only to keep in touch soon .

i'm for technology. as long as it benefits a lot of people around the globe, i'm for it. the internet is one good example. there are others since we first walked this earth. every technology sure has a price to pay. but our experience today and yesterday, our successes and our failures too should help decide what best technology is for tomorrow. the least destruction it has on mother earth, the least problem it has on society should be one i love to have a part in.

Technology is going to develop and now no one cannot stop that.
Gone are the olden good days when we had lot of peace and happiness and also spare time to something for ourselves. But now there is shortage of time and we do not have any time left over to do some thing for ourselves.
The increase in the technology is the direct effect for all these.
Better not to think anything out side instead will be better to think inside ourselves as to how to lead a happy life though we have to be updated with the technology otherwise it will be difficult to cope up with the societyOtherwise they have a different eye on us.
I know - because I learn't the operation of the Computer just two years back and how difficult I felt to move with the society now no problem I can face anything boldly.

The only obstacle would be "nature" of man who is generally very easy to say lazy and not very rooted in the "today" and forget "yesterday" and "tomorrow."
It's easier to burn than coal and oil than to make a hydroelectric.
It's much easier to cut a tree than to gather them for paper and cardboard recycling.
Why keep a pack in your pocket another 50 yards when you can simply give it to roads on the street ... We are too comfortable. And the benefit of almost all the time eclipses the future. Yes, i forgot about human greed.. let's not forget about this.

I do agree advance technology is inevitable and we what we could do is just to embrace the situation. Though technology has some disadvantages but it has lot advantage as well.Technology and simplicity could be very well blind on our lives. So it doesn't make any difference.

We are living in a world that keeps on evolving in all dimensions of life and the environment. In an environment of growing complexity,it becomes imperative to adopt all necessary means and technological aids to make a sustainable living in response to the changes occurring around. Advanced technology is directed to provide effective ways in coping with the complexity of many kinds of problems that influence the living environment. We need to always be cautious in rightly and appropriately using the technological advances for the benefit of the living environment and try to minimise its adverse effects,if any.

It is normal to us seem impossible to survive without this advanced technology because we was always part of it.
Cohabitation is the best solution, but the man wants to take over everything. Coexistence with nature shows benefits for both sides. Nature is alive TOO!

You know when it comes to our health and nutrition I think I look for basics and natural stuff that man has not changed or added his cheap sugar to. I do however love the information age and advances in technology that helps to make our lives more easier in some way or another. I mean there are so many gadgets that helps us around the home. I think so many of us would worry if we didn't have them because that would mean more time spent on tedious tasks.

"Dissatisfaction" is a human nature. We're done with the old age so, everybody is looking for advancement or progress. Though the problem is we are becoming uncontrollable in our advance technology or new gadget, still we can't suspend or terminate our determination to search for new knowledge to satisfy our needs or wants.

I see it like this ... many are against technology, but enjoying it fully, so every generation thinks what is best in them and of any innovation they can not fully exploit, is not good for anything.
So do not attack too quickly what we have created for us (I mean humanity in general) agree that we have reached a stage self-destructive, but sooner or later, and it will end and not will end apocalyptic. until now we had a chance to destroy our planet (cold war, the Cuban missile crisis).

You can not have advantages without disadvantages.
First man who discovered the fire was not easy, then it began to use fire as a weapon, poor first genius of mankind probably hiding in a corner and repeat continuously: "I did .. I did what I did .. "I really do not see the world as a world of robots ..

For me advanced technology has offered us equal advantages and disadvantages. It has helped our lives much easier and convenient, and it's a big help in the medical field. On the other hand, it has also somehow ruined the true essence of interpersonal relationship and it also ruins relationships (mobile texting). I think with every advancement in technology that develops in our society, it's always best to utilize it in a way that it would be more helpful for each of us and our society rather than be destructive.
