Members Tlaloc Posted August 29, 2005 Members Share Posted August 29, 2005 Do you think technology will one day destroy the decency, honesty, and all good values of mankind? It seems to be going that way. As science and technology advance, people in general become less hardworking, and that seems to destroy values. Are people becomming more and more lazy as time goes on? Is it the progression of technology? discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is its even more positive face: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/HPS/Haraway/CyborgManifesto.html We are already identical with our technology. Or, if you prefer, isn't the goal of technology to be "less hardworking"? Why have a 40 hour week? If we could all get by on a 5-hour week, that would be astep foreward in evolution.

Members mrcrow Posted August 29, 2005 Members Share Posted August 29, 2005 technology=the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems you dont have to use it if you dont want to...and it applies to medicine and transport as well. personal effectiveness transcends technology...its the way you use or make it useful which counts... there is nothing new under the sun...just a rearrangement of basics:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
