Idea of progress
I am going to talk about the idea of progress. The (used when reffering to a particular subject) progress can be defined as a technical, scientific or social advancement which contributes to making the world a better place. However progress can't be all the time considered as a good thing, particularly when it comes to technological progress. So finally, “Should we fear technological progress?”. First and foremost the good points of technological progress and the way it has (present tense) improved our lives will be detailed. After that we will see the problems that technology can create.
In the one hand new technologies have really improved and change our lives. With the new ways of communication (like e-mail, smart-phone...) people can now telecommute, which means working from home. The telecommuters have a really different life from the previous work life, they can work wherever and whenever they like, they don't have to lose time in traffic jam and so we can say that technology has changed their lives. But technology doesn't only change life, but can also save life, in fact medicine has become more efficient permits many lives to saved. For example in an extract of the USA Today, we discover the story of Molly, a young girl saved by progress. In fact molly need a bone marrow transplant to live but was really difficult to find a donor. Molly was saved by her little brother Adam, who had been selected as an embryo in a fertility lab because he had the same immune system as his sister. To sum up, technology can improve, change and even save our lives. But we can ask ourselves if technology can be a bad thing too.
In fact, on the other hand progress can be very dangerous. In fact in the text "Do we rely too heavily on technology?", the author notices the fact that, with the improvement of calculators a lot of people don't know how to do easy calculation. The objective of the author it's to show that, we became really dependent on new technology. If tomorrow, surgeons were replaced by robots, in forty years who will still know how to do surgical operation? But the problem of technology isn't only of dependence, we must ask ourselves: can technology go too far? For example in the dystopia "Brave new world" written by Aldous Huxley we discover how terrible progress can be. In this document a man learns as a student, how babies are “fabricated”. All humans are now clones and have been private of any individuality, they are considered more like slaves than humans. The principle of mass production, was at last applied to create humans.
In conclusion I'd say that, in my opinion, progress can be an incredible thing, human beings need progress to evolve and we must continue to progress. However, we must put a limit to the progress and make sure to never be too dependent on technology. We must continue our evolution but not to forget what we have learnt before and take care to not exceed some limits. We shouldn't be afraid of technological progress but we must take care of the way technology evolves.
