The Jump into Technological Advancement!

It is no secret that technology seems to advance each year and is growing even more. And it's not like it's a knew thing, technology has been around since ever since the Stone Age when Neanderthals had discovered fire.

For millions of years, we have created new innovations that have shaped our world today and we keep on going with new ideas. This technology has helped us create schools, hospitals, roads, sewers, space shuttles, etc., and has brought more efficiency and has made our lives a little easier than they were before. But this doesn't mean that all of our problems are solved.

Advancements in both communication and information have also been a giant leap forward in our world and now we can obtain data faster and keep records. Phones used to be a devise that you could only use at home or at booth, but now everyone has a cell phone in their hands and we use these devices constantly, whether for work or leisure. Transpiration has been a big step as well with cars, trains, ships and planes. We can now travel across the world faster than ever before.

However, even though these advancements have been made to create things and help advance our lives, they have also been made to help bring destruction. What started off as spears and stone weaponry, later advanced into swords and shields made from iron, and then advanced into guns, tanks, missiles, bombs, and later on the first atomic bomb. Because of these conflicts, we have created and designed machines to destroy each other, and this type of technology still scares people to this day. Nick Bostrom, from the University of Oxford, stated that "as science and research expand, it has become easier for technology to cause destruction on a massive scale," and that "this leaves civilizations vulnerable to destroying themselves by create a powerful, dangerous technology that is difficult to contain."

Now this isn't to say whether technology is good or evil, it's more about how technology is neutral in nature and that it all depends on who wields it.
