The Overwhelming Evolution Of Technology

The passing of time is still and always will be a mystery that cannot be controlled. And as we move forward with time, it brings forth so many issues and events that unfolds before our very eyes faster than we could ever imagine,
and changes brought about by technological innovations takes place at a rapid rate beyond our ability to keep up with the pace of its progression since our capacity is restricted only within the confines of our limited technological literacy, which often makes us wonder what will they think of next?

We know for a fact that education begins at home where we cultivate our mental faculty and grow up to become civilized human beings. But technology also plays a vital role in our developmental process from infancy to maturity, its profound impact is changing the way we learn how to interact and exist with the modern world. Technology has become an indispensable tool which is impossible for us to live without as we grow so comfortably accustomed to our domesticated human environment.

Technology is undeniably a part of our everyday life, it is constantly evolving on a regular basis that new changes happens almost instantly even now as you are reading this post, and there's just no way we can keep up with the changes as we continue to engage ourselves in our daily affairs consumed with a lifestyle that is so tremendously filled with overwhelming technological distractions.

Technology As A Tool In The Hands Of The Human Race

We have been accustomed to coexist with technology. Metaphorically speaking we are on a technological voyage, we have been on board this ship for ages now, and we have to keep steering the ship to the right direction to reach a successful destination. We have been through a lot of stormy weathers but we managed to stay afloat and sailing. But where will our relentless technological voyage lead us? Throughout history there are those among us who proclaimed themselves as the dominant superior ones, who unethically took immediate advantage of our unsuspecting nature by enforcing their influential authority to turn every possible circumstance to their potential benefit to serve their deranged purpose. Having greatest ascendancy and decisive advantage these greedy arrogant individuals were opportunistic enough to deliberately risk the welfare of those who are considered inferior by persuading the inferior ones to test the depth of the water with both feet and drown, so that the prevalence of their selfish purpose can continue to inherit the earth by benefiting from the demise of the inferior ones in order to accommodate only a sufficient number of selected prominent few to remain on board the voyage for adequate consumption of our increasingly exhausted environmental resources.

What happened cannot be undone, but the past serves as a basic fundamental foundation for us to patiently endure what is yet to come in the future. The experiences we have learned from the past taught us that for every action there is an equal opposite reaction. And we should know how to deal with the consequences of our actions, not risk the welfare of the others as a result of our excessive environmental consumption, which brings about the consequential tendency for territorial conquest to become the ultimate last resort, as nations rise against nations as they become rivals in their struggle for survival with their simultaneous demand for the consumption of our depleted environmental resources.

Striving for higher power through technological means for the achievement of territorial supremacy to gain global dominance is the major contributing factor that continue to cause the largest problems related to the further degradation of our planet.

Humanity And Its Rational Ability To Draw Sound Conclusions

The human species is a very social creature. For an individual to feel protected and secured it has to get acquainted and would always find the need to associate with others. Much like the early primitive cave dwellers, it has to seek shelter and refuge by belonging to an organized pack where survival is the social influence. Associating with others influences an individual's sense of reasoning which affects his ability to decide. The choices we make in our everyday life is very crucial to what we may become in the unforeseeable future. Decisions are the choices we make, it could be right and it could be wrong, its result could either be gratifying or devastating. 
Humanity is filled with differences. There is always something to compare and choose. If there is no black then there is no white, if no one is short then no one can be tall, if no one is less then nobody can be great, and if no one is wrong then no one is right. But it will be foolish to right one wrong by doing another wrong. And by being the sole intellectual creature to inhabit the earth, we have to decide for the best and not for the worst.

Beyond every territorial walls there is an economic battle going on among nations. Globalization means rapid industrialization and technological advancement which entails fierce competition among nations. We are striving everyday to preserve peace and maintain the sanity of mankind in order for us to survive as a species. We put much effort in trying to resolve global conflicts as civilize as we can in every humane way possible so that we may prevent the occurrence of another world war. But if while trying to promote peace we are also contradicting ourselves with our personal differences and interest then how else can we ever survive. Perhaps the human race is really inclined to barbaric acts such as placing the whole world in an irrecoverable state of devastation and destruction. Needless to say it, but then again, the barbarous nature of man was an established fact ever since the time of the primitive cave dwellers when the first caveman bashed the head of another caveman with a piece of sharp rock, thus discovering the usefulness of the rock as his first tool to hunt for food.

Technology Established Man's Rule On Earth

The humankind reigns as the superior intellectual entity to inhabit the earth ever since man persistently refused to remain ignorant about his existence. Since the dawn of civilization, man was neither mentally nor emotionally contented with his primitive understanding of the way things are but was rather filled with overwhelming curiosity to explore the world around him. Hence, in order for the human race to endure as the dominant species, man realized the necessity of changing his perspective about the world in which he lives in and nurtured his hunger for knowledge by equipping himself with rational thinking ability acquired from his direct experience with nature which further developed man's intellectual process of discovering alternative solutions to simplify the complexities of conventional task for his survival.

As we evolved to become creatures with highly developed brain we learned to develop our creativity in crafting our own tools to build structures and machines. And as we improvise with more proficient methods to improve our skills in the usage and knowledge of tools we began to appreciate the application of science and technology as a revolutionary tool in order for us to sustain life, which is supposedly for the purpose of improving our existence and to contribute for the good of the planet. Having the capability of logical thinking endowed man with the capacity to reason which transformed man's behavior about his sense of purpose and how he adapts to the world around him. This led to man's unending quest to embark in an exploratory expedition in the pursuit of knowledge which resulted in many scientific discoveries and technological innovations that established man's dominion on the planet.

But instead of having the intellectual capacity to live in perfect harmony with nature, having the advantage of being the superior organism over all earthly life forms is now revealing a devastating effect to our existence as well as to other living organisms on the planet. We seem to have lost our primary sense of direction and purpose in sustaining life as greed triumphed over the rational side and eventually revealed the animal side of man.
