The two faces of modern technology




Advances in modern technology can be seen from two sides:

First face:

Fantastic and extraordinary technological advances in the last 200 years.

Tractors, trucks, buses, subway, bullet train, elevators ...

Two hundred years ago lived in the stone age, technologically speaking, compared to the current stage of technological advancement

The popularity and sophistication of the car ...

We passed the "car-of-ox", horse, donkey, ship's steam-powered coal train to the plane ..

The silent film in black and white, became the fantastic world of screens in 3D, with fantastic special effects ...

The battery-operated radio, newspapers and old gave way to digital TV, plasma, 3D, flat screen, with innumerable technological resources,

The TV gives way to the popular Internet, ever faster, interactive, accessible via satellite, with thousands of possibilities in the area of ​​digital communication, instant and cosmic ...

The crank telephone, the telegraph gave up their spaces to modern devices, tablets, androids, laptops, games ...

Industrial machinery, sterile and sterilizing of fertility and species diversity ...

Full automation in all areas ...

We jumped out of the tanks manually washing the electric washing machine with dryer and centrifuge with hot and cold ...

We closed the windows on hot days and called the air-conditioning ...

The wood burning stove for the gas stove ...

Multifunctional mobile phones, camcorders, refrigerators, irons, short the list is endless, the technological marvels of the last 200 years.

Nuclear reactors ...

Laser cannon ...

The bullock cart and the back of the workhorse for space flights, with the arrival of man on the moon and artificial satellites visiting various celestial bodies, including some outside our solar system and also to systematize the use of computers.

Medical advances are undeniable, many, prolonging life, restoring health, working miracles with antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and the great progress made with the new techniques of treatment for various diseases hitherto irreversible, such as various cancers, Evil Parkinson's disease and collagen vascular diseases, cloning, transplants, among others.

The Internet, cell phone, broadband gradually replacing dial-up replacing the DVD and VHS tapes, in addition to floppy disks have fallen into disuse and were gradually being replaced by CD-ROM and the USB drives.Completion of the Genome Project, the discovery of the dwarf planet ERIS, which is larger than Pluto, the spacecraft Voyager I, has already exceeded the limits of our solar system and on its way through the universe, continues to send their signals to Earth .

The discovery of the planet HD 209458 b, some 150 light-years from Earth that rotates around the star Gliese 581 and is the first potentially habitable planet outside our solar system, since there have been signals of an air, water in liquid form and conditions of temperature and atmospheric pressure compatible with the existence of life as we know it.The Hubble Space Telescope is an unmanned artificial astronomical satellite that carries a large telescope for visible light and infrared (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)

Hubble, "The Eye of God", space travel, the Space Station (ISS), the Internet and cable and satellite, are perhaps the greatest technological wonders of modern times, impossible to imagine even the most daring writers of fiction-scientific past.

Undoubtedly, technological advances came at a fabulous jump in the last 200 years.

We enjoy more technological resources that should have transformed our lives safer, comfortable, stable and full of satisfaction.

But while we were dazzled with the first face of modern technology, suddenly we are faced with the second face of modern technology:

Dehumanization of humanity ...
Neglect and indifference with Mother Nature ...

Machine vampires, fed with human blood, slaves and technological ...

Machine vampires fed the dreams of human freedom, immortalized in the "dream of Icarus" ...

Killer machines, which made us dive into a sea of ​​pollutants, a breathing poisoned air, drink contaminated water, eating GM food and artificial ...

Devastating machines and replacing forests, oceans, sky, earth, water and air ...

Machines that drink oil and gas deadly to all species other than technological ...

Only those machines feed on oil and poisonous gases, other species are being poisoned and dying with the field of killing machines ...

Machinery CO2, methane, sulfur, uranium, plutonium, iridium, and other poisons, industrial and home ...
Popular machines that enslave, steal our time, deceive, cheat with morphine to produce electronic and digital ...

Machines that create systems that vampire human freedom, with rules, fees, taxes, bureaucracy, prohibitions, schedules, degrading wages, destruction of the environment, ecosystems and biodiversity ...

Eternal and self-sufficient machines of creatures transformed into creative, devouring those who made them ...
Powerful machines that after robbing the human spirit, turns everyone into zombies ...

Machine vampires who enslave the human spiritTransformed into humanoid-technology ...

Use technology resources for war purposes, seeking the most efficient and lethal take life ...

Total dependence on technology, with the abandonment of the main activities inherent to our species, for which we were scheduled ...

Robotics social relationships, emotional ...

Abandonment of all fundamental human values, for the benefit of mechanization ...

Forgetfulness and abandonment of personal creativity, art, culture, collective ideals ...

Individualization sharp, selfish, petty and commercial ...

Devaluation of "Being" with the enthronement of "Being" ...

The noblest sentiments of the human spirit, worshiped and encouraged throughout the process of civilization, being replaced by "Chip" cyber ...

Here are some questions to think about this weekend.
