Humanity is at a crossroads. Present social science theory and public policy are no longer adequate to meet the multi-dimensional challenges posed by rising social aspirations, unemployment and inequality, wasteful patterns of production and consumption, globalization of markets, technological advances, demographic changes, and ecological constraints. Incremental changes in public policy based on the present conceptual framework will only aggravate problems that are already acute. At the same time, the resources and capabilities of global society have never been greater than they are today. Scientific knowledge, technological developments, infrastructure and productive capabilities, educated and skilled human resources, entrepreneurial skills, commercial organization and a rapidly expanding global social network offer unprecedented opportunities for rapid social progress.
Both positive and negative impacts it can have. Negative like the fear of Atomic war and new dangerous weapons and positive like we are connected with each other other sitting thousand of miles away .
Science and technology may be partly responsible for many of the problems that face us today. The problems are the advancement of weapons, bombs, biochemical and nuclear weapon, which brought us violence amongst ourselves and others. Another problem is human dependences on technology, such as the internet, computers, cell phones etc. Yet one of the biggest problems is pollution. Three types of pollution that dominate they are water, air and noise pollution. Water is one of the several resources that we need most, many people can survive without food for several weeks but they cannot survive without water for less then a week. According to Water Pollution web site “millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes.” The advancement of science and technology causes much water pollution, such as dumping toxic waste into rivers, ponds, oceans, and even small creeks. For example, many Third World countries that are trying to get their country industrialized lack the funds to dispose of their wastes probably. But instead, they dump their toxic pollutants into surrounding bodies of water. All of the toxins that they dump, can be washed out into the rivers, seas, or oceans can contaminate our water we use everyday to wash our face, hands, clean our dishes, and much more. The air that we breath everyday to keep us alive, imagine if the air are been polluted through our industrial everyday. According to Air Pollution and Respiratory Health web site, “In 1991 American industry emitted more than 2.4 billion pounds of toxic pollutants into the atmosphere. In 1991, 98 areas exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended levels for ozone, and an estimated 140 million Americans lived in those areas.” Of all those pollution in the atmosphere and over thousand, even hundred of thousand as breathing it everyday it can cause many health problems to a lot of people. The advancement of our industrial not only causes us health problem only but it also depleting our ozone and cause us global warming. The technologies that we build some of them which contain CFC Chlorofluorocarbon, a compound consisting of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon, CFC are commonly been used in refrigerators, solvents, cars, and many more. The CFC can break down by strong ultraviolet light in the stratosphere and release chlorine atoms that then deplete the ozone layer. If the ozone layer been depleted the ultraviolet light will go through and can cause us skins cancer. Sound are very commonly use in our life that we often overlook all that it can do. It can give se pleasure such as when we listening to music, or listening to the nature. It also can be use as a communication tool, for example when we hear a siren is to let us know to be alert. For engineering it can be a tool to help them in their job for example mechanical engineering listening to the sound motor of a car to figure out what wrong with it. But in the modern society many sound can be annoying and unpleasant, and it called noise. As more science and technology are being develop the more the country are being industrialize. More factories and business are being built. More airports more vehicles and more trains are being made. Those are the many causes of noise pollution. For example, the modern large planes have been changing from pure jet engine to fan jet engine which decrease the amount of noise it made. However as the quieter the planes get the more the airports grow, it will become more busy and handling more planes everyday. There are many people live near the commercial and military airports, imagine that planes fly over your neighborhood every night and makes annoying noises that could wake you up from your sleep. For many people who live around those neighborhoods, even though they have moved to somewhere else but those noise still affected them and awoke the every night. The more the country are being industrialize the more factories and building are being built. Industrial noise comes from either establish of a factory or by building works. The noise not only affect the workers it also affect those who live around it. The advancement of science and technology affected us in many negative ways in term of destruction, pollution, insecurity in daily life, and health problem. Weapons which brought destruction and which help to created war. Harmful affects of chemical such as CFC in our cars, refrigerator, and machinery that destroy the ozone, which protect us from the heat of the sun and also prevent us from have skins cancer. The more machineries and technology we built the more resources we need. The more natural habitat will be destroy so people could get those resources, and the natural habitat is to help us from polluting the air and protect our ozone. So science and technology are responsible for many of the problems that face us today.
First one is jus your Social Networking it helps the People to get in touch with one another is the same way it allows the users to Cheat the people with various ways.
Technology is giving us the way of Living. Facilitates us the life that we can make use of things so that we can save the time like instead of going out for shopping you can order online using shopping websites. in the same way, we can access our bank accounts online instead of going to the bank every day.
It makes the world a global village
:Two centuries ago has created deep changes in the world
Industrializing،Growing urbanization،increase production،
Open communication،And
On the other Communications Dominated In our private lives
and Soon a robust system of satellites can be found
In the form of an extensive network An extensive
network of telecommunications Which not only allows us
immediate contact with the rest of the land But can provide
us with different information
makes communication easy.
helps in decision makeing
Makes work easy.
helps to store information for referencing.
In my opinion, technology is one the main reasons for society evolution.
Technology makes our lives much more easier, it facilitates getting our essential needs.
Technology has a very big impact on societies and that was very briefly.
Human are Losing more contrôle, and giving more power to machines or humanoïd
Technology and science do change the way we thinking and the way we solve problems. Both concepts play a vital role in our everyday life even to those who don't believe in them.
