Why does the future not need us?


 


Our advancements with technology are growing day by day, which is also an implication of the ever-growing brilliance of the mind. However, amidst this advancement, there is a path of devastation. For example, the brilliant physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer produced the first atomic bomb, a technological advancement that no one was ever prepared of. A creation that destroys the creation, a "destroyer of worlds," born out of fear that other countries will create it first, an arms race. It is indeed terrifying how it limits your choice once you get a grasp on it and how it destroys lives just because of a single leap of faith. Perhaps it is the vortex of change that is giving us a hard time seeing the bigger impacts of our technologies. The consequences of failing to understand our inventions while we are in the moment of discovery and innovation seem to be a common fault of humans. We fail to realize that the drive we always have for overarching desires to know everything in the world and the universe, and that such progress to newer and more powerful technologies is a part of science's nature, is but a matter that violates the laws of nature. To sum it up, we begin to prove that it is us who we should be warry of since we have the power to manipulate the future and destroy ourselves, in order for us to see a future where humanity is still around we should be more careful of creating innovative and destructive ideas.

The Aspects of Gene Therapy

Image
This is yet another futuristic one, but it is far from impossible. Gene therapy is a cutting-edge medical intervention, a breakthrough in manipulating genes that could even cure various genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, or 'cys', muscular dystrophy, and even cancer, which is a matter that researchers still have so much to learn. However, this light of endearing hope of freedom from these intricate diseases also raises potent concerns. Such as its availability, since we all know that this act of 'playing god' should take a great price, it potentially creates disparities based on socio-economic factors. The other thing is its public perception, whereas the perception of altering genes is critical since such an act of modifying one's body is something that people believe only 'gods' could do, hence creating misunderstandings and potential societal dilemmas. To sum the topic up, this advancement in the field of medical innovation sure has the transforma

  Technology is just an extension of ourselves, enhancing our innermost potential to adapt to changing times. Since the invention of technology, we have achieved numerous revolutions that paved the path for humanity. We have allowed ourselves to communicate without seeing each other, travel through distant places without a sweat, and course through the heavens without wings. Humanity is undoubtedly just brilliant beings; we have so far achieved the impossible because of technology. Morever, this light of endearing achievements of ourselves sure is cast through the cosmos, but we may have forgotten that it is also an implication of shadows being cast underneath.
