Science is the greatest integrator of human societies

I would like to rebut some points and provide some more in depth information. 1) It is true that if you want to keep up with the society and its fast-changing pace, the ability to use technology is a necessary skill to equip oneself with. If one does not know how to use a simple laptop or mobile phone, he/she will find it hard to survive in today"s society. I understand that by staring at the screen for too long, it will result in illness (as you said), be it on purpose or for work. There is no way to really solve this problem now, but we can"t say so in the near future. People would tend to spend most of their time online and this will result in mental disorders or other illnesses like short-sightedness. Most patients with mental disorders and take in certain drugs or medicine to control their emotions so that they do not get too excited and harm themselves or the people near them. This is only a supportive treatment to the main one, which is to attend counselling. Also, there is this new screen protector that can decrease the impact of staring too long at a screen on the eyes, so short-sightedness can be reduced through technology. Also, the mutations that I mentioned about in my previous argument is genetic mutations caused by the overtaking of drugs and medicine. The mutations caused by radiation is not related to the medicine industry, but I will elaborate further on that. Radiation may cause genetic mutations but if the nuclear plant is well-protected and isolated, the benefits will raise above the risks. Since my first point is related to the medicine industry, I shall only elaborate on how radiation helps to cure people. But, radiation also helps in many other ways, like industrial-wise, agriculture, sterilisation and the environment. Perhaps the most important use of radioactive materials is in medicine. Radiopharmaceuticals"drugs that contain radioactive material"are important in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. They can be injected into the body, inhaled, or taken orally as medicines or to enable imaging of internal organs and bodily processes. Millions of people in Australia and around the world have benefited from the diagnostic and therapeutic qualities of radioactive materials. In 2002"03 alone there were over 590 000 nuclear medicine services in Australia. In medical procedures such as cancer diagnosis and treatment, around 500 000 patients have benefited from a radioisotope produced by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation. Also, I personally feel that the fact radiation coming out of our phones is destroying the aerial fauna is a little bit exaggerating. Radiation is given off by our phones, but it is a minute amount compared to a nuclear plant. Even though most of the population uses the phone, the radiation given off by our phones (as a scientific report states) have short half-lives and will decrease to background levels within days. Actually, people used to live for a shorter lifespan. Scientists have roughly estimated that our ancestors (in the 1880s) only had an average lifespan of around 39 years, but now, we have a rough average lifespan of 80 years. (you can check out https://www.theatlantic.com... for more information, they have a graph) 2)It is true that unemployment rates have been raising in certain countries, but robots actually do not increase unemployment rates and instead, decrease them! You might be familiar with the Little Giant ladders manufactured by Wing Enterprises, Inc. in Springville, Utah. When the company"s sales increased through infomercials a few years back, strains on the production process appeared. To deal with rising demand, Wing Enterprises acquired welding robot systems from Lincoln. Productivity increased 30% according to Brian Nielsen, an automated fusion technician with Wing. This helped Wing to build a new facility three times its original size and expand from 20 to 400 employees. Furthermore, Crown Equipment, the Greencastle, Indiana-based manufacturer of electric fork trucks, acquired three Lincoln robot systems to make specialized parts that created a new market for the company. This provided the foundation for an expansion that increased the company"s total number of employees from 200 to 335. These examples illustrate that properly implementing technology like robots to support corporate strategy can ultimately lead to reduced costs, improved productivity, operational efficiency- and employment gains. Also, an increase in robots means an increase in people/industries to manufacture them, programmers, designers, and inspectors. This will result in an increase in employment rates as more people will be needed to support this industry. 3) Cars do not blow up that easily, there are several conditions to fulfill before a car can truly blow up. Firstly, the fuel's gas must, in someway, fill up inside the car. And remember: in both cases it have to be in the right concentration. One possible real situation where all of this can happen is a car accident. But note that: if the fuel tank is full, the probability to explode will be lower since it don't have enough space for the oxygen. Therefore, in an accident, it is more likely that the car burn than explode. The most "likely" scenario where car may be in a position where it does something which makes it appear to an outside viewer to have "exploded" (not including an installed explosive device) would be the following: A fire starts in either the engine or the passenger compartments of the car. The heat of the fire melts a fuel line (or whatever may have caused the fire punctures the fuel tank) and the mixture of fuel and air reaches a level where it explodes when exposed to an open flame. This would give the appearance, to an untrained eye, that the car itself exploded. However, only the fuel powering exploded and not the vehicle. This is also fairly rare, as a car fire usually consumes the fuel powering the car or the car is extinguished before its fuel can possibly ignite. It is true that true online platforms, more people might be brainwashed into being a terrorist. But the security web online or in one"s computer prevents people from viewing websites deemed as unsafe. There is no direct way to use science to counter mass massacring with the gun, but the government can maybe impose some laws to stop it??? (your last point is too hard to counter :CCC, because the counters are more of social reasons) If we want something good, there will be a price to pay, and unfortunately science is just like that. (P.S. Thanks for leaving a space! Really appreciate it :D)
