Isn't it amazing to realise how deep is human knowledge in science, technologies and mashinery? Nowadays the role of technological progress is increasing with a huge speed and it is permanent, it can't be stopped.
The main idea of progress is making our everyday life more comfortable, more functional and interesting. It gives our mind an opportunity to breathe, to create and to dream. Who could imagine in 18th century that people can talk to each other without visiting him?Who could just suppose that it is impossible? Only after the discovery of electricity people suspected that it can be used in connections and communications between people, nations, continents and even planets.Tha major advantage of development of our knowledge is the possibility to change our world to the better.
However, on the other hand, we remember some terrible catastrophes, in which only people are fault, not nature. Chernobyl's atomic station explosion, which brought millions of hektars of forests and millions of animals deaths, thousands of square kilometres of past-fertile soul polluted;well-known steamboat "Titanic" flood, in the result of which only about 10 passengers stayed alive and many-many others.
All things considered, it seems tp me that even these deathbringing events can bring to the humanity some experience. A lot of people souls need to be sacrificed for other to undrestand the mistakes and continue the line of discoveries. So I can say that technological progress isn't so exciting as it can seem at first sight.
