Technology has overruled us. Some of our ancestors had predicted that. What they thought was that robots would take control over us but, what happened is entirely different. The present day human-kind is entirely dependant on the technology they developed. It is a type of slavery that we are having now. Slaves of whom? Machines are not able to rule us of their own but, we ourselves digged our groves. Let me prove this with an example. What will happen if world's all mobile phone networks cease working at a particular moment? World will stop moving. The new situation will create millions of neurotic inhabitants for the new planet.
Atom bombs or nuclear weapons are not needed to destroy a country now. Just change the way they live to what they did ten or twenty years back. Mobile phone is one of the greatest revolutions in human history.It changed the way we think, talk and live. Homosapiens are no longer able to live without that (new)machine until a more sophisticated and reliable one takes over ts place.
It is not a case with just cell-phones. What is going on in present day science? The great inventions like what we used to see in the first half of the previous century are no more. One of the biggest advantages of science is said to be its lack of prejudice but, today's science is nothing other than a collection of preconceptions itself. We believed blindly on what is written in old text books and are trying to develop the new science over what is already there. If science want to go beyond certain limits we have to start from the base. From new vast bases. Scientist needs a lot of courage. He has to say 'no' to whatever doesn't satisfy his questioning mind. There is nothing called partial -truth. If you are in search for the truth get ready to sacrifice yourself.
I fear it is not a problem with just science or technology. Fortunately we have some hood writers in today's world but, no Picasso, no Da Vinci, no Russel or Einstein. We are in a crisis. We are living in a prison created by our ancestors. We have nothing new. A social explosion has to be happened. Only a big revolution or war can create something new from the ashes. There may be many good today but no great. The new society doesn't support something like that. We are satisfied with what we have.We have to be restless and unsatisfied.Only necessity can bring something better.
