Science has definitely gone too far, and the evidence is all over. It’s saddening how some fields keep registering remarkable leaps and achievements when it comes to science, while others who also require it, don’t really get any. Some methods, no matter how advanced they are, should have gone way further than they are right now.
I think it all boils down to priority. All over the world, governments choose to invest more money in weapons. Billions of dollars are spent each year just to arm soldiers and build the most powerful weapons. Military bases have research labs where they can conduct experiments and run tests to push the boundaries of science even further.
There is tech that can such the air out of an open space, there are biomedical weapons that can be targeted to either a specific person or group of people. There are weapons that can be fired from the USA to hit a target in a different country without going beyond the required range. Almost every month, there is a new innovation in town that makes everything else obsolete.
And this is understandable because whether you like it or not, the enemies will always be trying to get better. The enemies will always want to be more powerful than you so they can take you over, and as such you have to show that you have the power as well. So, I guess it’s a good thing. One of the reasons we’ve not had World War III yet is because everyone knows the weapon capabilities and fighting strength of every other country. And that is enough to deter anyone. It’s just like putting up a sign warning of dogs in your house, anyone who sees this knows at once that there are dogs in there.
Anyway, it all means that weapons are a necessary evil and they deserve the funding that they always get. However, one that I feel the innovation is not needed is just how far AI has gotten just now. Ever since we started using smartphones, we’ve been living more and more in seclusion from others and it has only gotten worse. Thanks to smartphones and internet, there is more access to porn and the like. With a simple click, you can watch whatever perversion you’re into.
But it doesn’t stop there, does it? No. Droids are now being made to act as partners for people. A man can go into the store and buy a robot that will be his sexual partner. This a very different from sex toys and the like, because sex toys don’t talk. This robot can hold conversations and tell you just about everything you want to hear. It'll be your friend, lover and confidant. But then, when we have things like this so accessible, people will have fewer reasons to mingle and interact with others.
Even as the world gets smaller, we’d be less like a community and more like a group of people who just happen to be in the same neighborhood. No sense of cohesion at all. It’s eerie.
So, this field is one I feel we went too far in the technology. But sadly, it’s still being pushed and innovations are still being made. A time will come when such droids will be easily accessible and then we ourselves will be the ones convincing others for why they’re important. Who knows, a time might come when robots will have rights as well.
So, what is that field that needs more science? Medicine! I know that there are groundbreaking achievements in the medical field already, and that’s commendable. But I feel that there is so much more to be done. I look forward to a time when terminal illnesses will be a thing of the past. When cancer will no longer be the plague it is today.
We need more innovations in this field, we need more hands here trying to figure out a way to prolong life. I’m sure that in the future, there will be only two ways for humans to die; by killing them, and by old age. Dying of sicknesses will be a thing of the past because every sickness, no matter how dire, will have a cure. And not just any cure, it’ll be cheap and accessible for everyone who wants a part of it. I believe that if more great minds are put to this if they’re given all the funding they could possibly need, then it’s only a matter of time before they get it.
We’ve come far enough as a people, thanks to science. I just hope that with time, science will come in handy as well and save us from so many of the illnesses and diseases that have taken so many loved ones away from us. It’ll be a beautiful period to be alive.
I completely agree with your thoughts about the current state of science and technology. It breaks my heart too to see how some fields have made significant strides while others lag behind, and it seems to be a matter of priority.
The amount of funding and resources allocated to military research and development is staggering, and it's true that the technology produced from this research has likely prevented wars and saved lives.
However, it's also concerning to see the rapid advancements in fields like AI and robotics, particularly in areas that could have negative impacts on society, such as the creation of droids for sexual gratification.
We must prioritize research and development in areas that have the potential to make a positive impact on society as a whole like the fields of medicine and healthcare you mentioned
I share your hope for a future where terminal illnesses are a thing of the past, and where everyone has access to affordable and effective medical treatments.
When it comes to military, they'll always get funding simply because it gives them power. Pleasure will always be a booming business because people will always pay top dollar for sexual gratification.
We just need to set our priorities right, because this is getting out of hand.
When we talk about love daily and smile with each other, I see most of us as hypocrites. Why do we keep inventing weapons everyday as though we are expecting an attack any minute? I don't think there's love among humankind, we are only pretending. And sadly, there will never be.
Heheh, so the name of the robot is droid, 🤣 I see that invention as total waste. What happened to the women we have? If you want to satisfy your desires, get married and you would be okay🤣 which one is robot again? Will the robot give you comfort like a fellow human?
I agree with you that our medical field needs more of science, they have been trying but I don't think it's enough, it's seems sicknesses now are stronger than what science is giving out.
The "droid" comes from "android" which means they can think for themselves as long as some measures have been put in place. And soon, they'll get even smarter. It's scary.
What? Hmm, I fear what our world is turning into honestly.
I think this is my first time knowing about the robots as human companions. I only know if sex toys.
With the way technology is going, some people will soon migrate to other planets to start life. lol😅
Hehe... it's only a matter of time before people start japaing off-planet
Honestly, I forgot totally about the aspect of weapons. Back in those days, they only had knives and other little weapons to fight but now, we have bombs that can blow up a very big place. We have missiles and others. Omo technology no do well for that one😅
As in ehn... and these bombs are so bad that years after they've exploded, the effects will still be felt in the area.
It is true that science has progressed a lot and within the next few years we will see robots replacing humans in every field, but this will cause a lot of trouble to those who are doing it. They were earning money by working hard.
So far, those in charge are only doing it for the money. The wellbeing of others doesn't concern them.
Yeah you are right.
Apart from the military, I don't see the much need for this invention because the negative impacts are more. It is important to consider the ethical implications and societal impacts of certain technological advancements.
Omo.... when it comes to governments, ethics is not really a strong suit. They do what they want and when they want to.
That's just the problem. They only do what they want and want the rest to accept it or leave.
Yoo bro, your own piece of the prompt took a different approach. Technology has no limit has long as humans want is still insatiable. There are movies that already portrayed a future where humnas will depend so much on droids and become less interactive with other humans.
Investing much in medicine would have been a better alternative, but men prefers power by possesing dangerous weapons. I believe that someday cancers will have cure malaria was a dealy disease many years ago, but now there are so many cures for it.
As in ehn.... we really need a stop to all these dangerous illnesses. And not just any stop, we need an affordable stop. Something that can be as easy as going to the hospital for malaria treatment.
I pray it is so affordable and easily accessed considering how deadly cancers could be.
Science as we speak now what we are using and I know it has really reduced work load for humans compared to the oldedn days.
Yeah... it makes things easier. But at a cost.
Weapon is like two edged sword. But I feel the world would be better if science didn't focus on weapons.
No doubt in the future most of people will try to intimate with robots because if it's satisfying ability. The alarming thing is it will reduce the human interaction in sexual life. And a robot can't give birth to a baby and the human race may reach to a risky condition. It's just a prediction but very much logical.
Robots don't need to be able to give birth, they're already making plans on having children born in labs. All the parents have to do is donate their eggs and sperm and everything will be handled in the lab. It's crazy!
