Science and technology is growing massively. It is everywhere now,
from a child to an adult, from a poor to a rich, from village to cities,
everyone everywhere is using it. New inventions, medicines and machines
are being made every second therefore, with the comforts and luxuries
it is showing its hazards and destructive effects too. It has brought us
many useful things such as the telephone, the automobile, the oven, the
CD player, etc. and has made living a little more enjoyable. If that
were all, there would be no need to even mention these facts other than
to advertise them. However, these so-called technological advances have
also placed many hindrances on our daily life including lust for power.
Lust for power is an addiction. Everyone wants to become
powerful so that he can rule on the rest. Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte and
all the other dictators had the lust for power. They all had weapons of
mass destruction through which they conquered, killed and spread fear
in the hearts of people. Adolf Hitler, one of the most successful
dictators of all time had tanks, machine guns, airplanes, bombs and
armor of all types which ruined the lives of many soldiers of both
sides. Napoleon the French emperor did the same. History is full of the
people who had the lust for power, with the help of science they
fulfilled their lust and used science against the humanity. This is all
destruction. If we talk about the modern world, everything created by
the help of science is available in the markets. Everyone can have it
easily which leads to social violence and crimes.
Now a day’s
even a fourteen year old boy or a girl can buy a gun, and can shoot
anyone, anywhere. Then its avenger’s turn, he does the same as to avenge
the dead. Because of this gang wars occur. Whole families are
slaughtered. If we see it on a broader scale every country is now a
nuclear power. The incident of Hiroshima, Nagasaki is still an example
of destructive effects of modern science and technology. Babies there
are still born abnormal. Science was a blessing but the inner evil of
the people have made it a curse.
Everything created by human is
being misused. Things made for protection are now used as weapons. The
emperors used whatever they could to make science a destructive weapon.
Every new gadget brings a new disease with it. In old days people lived
for eighty, ninety years, the ages of the modern people is now
restricted to fifty to fifty five year. This is leading the world
towards its end. The world have become more materialistic than
spiritual. It is all because of toxic effects of science on the modern
world.
