Necessity is mother of invention.It has been we hearing since childhood.A lot of discoveries are invented due to necessity.One of those is invention of atomic energy or in other words atom bomb.This invention has changed the world completely. It’s use on Japan has showed it’s harmful and dangerous effects.A mass destruction of property and human being was held due to it.So we see that technology has given us both things. Saving and destruction both are in our hand.It is depend on us how to use it.

Happy to see your post. Regarding the topic my take is I concur with your view that it is in our hands how we use technology. As it is a double edged weapon. But human experience has proven that technologies fail not due to the technology but the mind behind it. I the technology has certain inherent defects then it is bound to fail one day or the other.

 

The second thing is any technology needs upkeep and upgrade which is not carried out by most companies using the technology due to lack of funds or to save costs and earn profits.  They do not  carry out proper checks and maintain it . This leads to disaster to disaster due to human faults or carelessness like the Bhopal Gas Tragedy or Sinking of Titanic.

 

My opinion is we should have control over the power of the technology which we use as faults result in grave tragedy. Imagine a plane or something else going and falling on a nuclear power plant and bursting what will be the consequences on the population staying miles around the site. This is a point to ponder as there are many hot trouble  spots like these.
