Blog

In a couple hours, I’ll be on an airplane. Right now, I’m on a bus, writing this blog on my phone. You will probably read this on a computer. After finishing this blog, I’ll probably go on Facebook or watch some Netflix. Point is, technology is now essential in our lives. 

But should we set a limit to the capabilities of technology? Or is the advancement of technology limitless now that we have sparked it? 

Scientific- including technological- discoveries and advancements are definitely, irrefutably, undeniably incredible. They have created new ways of viewing things, unimaginable to those before. 

But, as Marie Curie’s cause of death was due to radiation, breakthroughs have their consequences. In a more relevant context, Mark Zuckerberg has recently been taking fire for this data scandal. Coincidentally, Facebook has been one of the most revolutionary social media outlets to connect people across the world. But apparently, maintaining this system came at the cost of its users. I wont go into the details of Zuckerberg’s downfall, but let’s just say this- he may have been too ambitious. 

Now I’m not a scientist, and I haven’t developed a billion dollar company based on social interaction. However, just as we are certain that the sky is blue, it is certain that discoveries do not come without a cost. But maybe for society to become more advanced, we need people like Mark Zuckerberg and Marie Curie to take these risks and brave the unknown. 

Anyways, the plane is taking off soon. I should probably post this before I lose connection.
