Today I have read the article how technology could contribute to the sustainable world; this is a fairly long article and talks about different sides of the technology. The article talks about the meanings of technology, the technological development and visions of technology in a sustainable world. Since it is a pretty long article, I read the “technological development” part and scanned the other parts of the article. It basically talks about different realms of the development of science and technology. The author focused on Biotechnology and Health technology, nanotechnology, information and communication technology, etc. He talked about how technology were been used in these fields and how there appears some ethical issues at the same time. For example, scientists are thinking about injecting human stem cells into the blood stream to rejuvenate human organs and thereby far extend longevity. All of these new technologies bring out controversial topics like people still hold different opinions about genetically modified organism.
After reading this article, I feel like my research topic is way too broad and not well written. I should focus on a more specific aspect. I am now thinking about dividing the technologies into several fields and discuss about how technology contributes to each area and how do people think of these developments. The technology used in the Dollhouse was regarded as a health and biotechnology because it could erase people’s memories in a minute. I could use this as a beginning to discuss how other biotechnologies affect human being’s life.
