Technology refers to the use of scientific knowledge, techniques, methods, skills for concrete purposes. Technology helps human beings learn and develop in various disciplines due to their transformation of skills and techniques. This article outlines the use of emerging technologies in various disciplines in today’s world. Interestingly, the article shows how technology has been integral in effectively running and enlightening today’s world. Technology should be useful and helpful to humans by simplifying work that should have been done in many days to be done in hours. Technology has also helped a lot in medication as it has helped in treating complicated diseases such as carrying internal operations, which could not have been possible without technology. The use of X-Rays helps the medics to view internal fractures during treatment. Doctors and scientists have proven that X-Rays’ use is harmless when used as prescribed and hence has been allowed by the world health organization, ‘Precautionary principal.’
The principle technology is not perfect as people think but still have several setbacks that put human life at risk. For instance, X-Rays used in hospitals to view internal fractures of bones have their setbacks. Human cells/organs should not be exposed to the X-Rays anyhow as there is a risk of developing cancer in the exposed regions. X-Ray is a band of moving electrons that travels at a higher velocity. The energy associated with the X-Rays is responsible for the death of the cells, and as such, cancer develops, leading to the death of the patient. Ethical issue refers to a situation that arises when a decision or and activity chooses generates a conflict with society’s moral principle. I agree with the author about the ethical issue technology impacts society. It is the same technology that I will use when in need of such technology. Technology will take the world and will continue to enlighten it despite its setbacks.
