Please Be Careful

 


It largely seems to me that we have over-exhausted the usability of technology through scientific means or vice-versa. Now my personal observation and research on the impacts of technological advancement on human health and behavior :-

1 :-We the human beings were doing good with old techniques of letter writing and posting some items. Technology introduced and we started e-mailing and started a virtual world, where at one end it seemed easier but on the other part this has rendered some person jobless and aroused health issues like low back pain and Spondylitis due to long hours over the PC.

2 :- our potential powers seems to deplete and we are becoming lazy, as we were able to see somewhat better in dark than we are seeing now and moreover we needed to work hard in olden days to get every thing done which in turn kept us active but with the introduction of electrical equipment we were getting brighter nights and cooler air in hot summer and hot room in winters which in turn depleted largely the resistance power and also in turn immunity.

3 :-With the introduction of sophisticated means of energy like atomic power or nuclear energy there came the disasters and there is no need to explain what happened in Chernobyl and in recent days Japan, which also rendered disastrous and devastating weaponry systems like the atom bomb.

4 :- With the over extensible use of chemicals for irrigation for making crops ripe prematurely and also enhance the looks and size delivered us tasteless and harmful fruits and vegetables also the growth of different new biological challenges are seen like new viruses and bacteria which were absent in older days. Remember the BT Brinjal and the Bottle-Gourd in news of recent past and now the Cucumber in China.

5:- With the growth of automobiles, mobile phones and internet network traffic we are threatening ourselves of pollution from both the air, noise, and radiation.

6:- With all kinds of scientific and technological advancement we are actually going behind as our ecology, environment, and global temperature everything at stake and we are not sure to put everything as clean and non-polluted as it has been before.

7:- Researches says due to over utilization of missile and satellite technology there has been an alarming depletion and regression in the concentration on the ozone layer and that has got some holes in it moreover to add to the grim the layer has become thinner and the process is continuing which in due course leaving us prone to the harmful radiation from the Sun and can leave us sun burned and even skin cancer.

 

My points are concerned only directed towards an appeal for reasonable use and utilization of the technological resources we have and as always exaggeration of everything is indeed bad and technology is over-exaggerated 

I am not advocating total eradication of technology and return to barbaric era, but make sure that we use it reasonably, there are techniques for reasonable and optimistic use too.

Your concerns are valid, dear Ardhendu, particularly on nuclear energy. Germany has become the first country in the world to announce complete halt to nuke energy production within next few years.

a). Germany and Japan have the luxury to take such decisions. We have invested so much into this nuclear business, going back is foolish. What is the alternative to our energy needs?

b). Indians "per se" does not have any importance to quality. So, when nuclear installations come up, there will be accidents due to irresponsibility and negligence. Take the case of Indian Railways. We are kind of experts in all aspects of a railway, still there are accidents every year. what happens after an accident? Nothing. 121 crore minus 1000 (count of dead from a train accident) can still be rounded as 121 crore, 121 crore minus 50,000 (dead count from a nuclear accident) can still be rounded as 121 crore - we just don't care!.

In a parliamentary democracy, majority of the decisions are taken by our elected representatives who weighs any deal for monetary gains and the national interests in such cases take the back seat.  They have ignored the Scientists' view in toto in Jaithapur nuclear deal, and got the environment clearance even the world is thinking to ban the nuclear energy production after Japan's disaster.  They are aiming for 60,000 MW nuclear energy by 2030!
