Technology – A Boon or Curse | Can it Solve world’s biggest problems
Technology – A Boon or Curse: So how many of us think that technology can solve all of our biggest social problems or perhaps maybe technology isn’t the answer and we just need to improve our social systems to solve our problems. Maybe the technology creates problems, but personally, the technology we have today could solve world’s biggest problems also like food, water, shelter or energy for everyone on the planet within 10 years and at the same time these technologies are also so powerful that they could also greatly harm our society. And today thus we need to come up with new ethical frameworks on how to use these technologies constructively. We need to redesign of how should our societies, our governments, our economic systems, our educational systems work.
Somewhere along the line, the technology is changing; this big expensive infrastructure isn’t what the technology had to be. In 2011, there is this place known as the Singularity University, based in the Silicon Valley says to use exponential technology to solve the world’s biggest problems, to impact the lives of the billion people in a positive way. Indeed the technology has changed, we live in a world that is digital and we are digitizing everything that we can from the internet to our DNA to bow we manufacture goods and digital technology is different than the old technology.
It’s cheap, it scales very, very fast and you can iterate with it, work with it and almost anyone in the world can take up this technology for their own use as well. There’s a company called mater net, world’s first use of Drones for transport, came up with the idea that could use these cheap flying robots to deliver medicine in low-income countries where people might have walk 8 hours a day just to have a lab test or to get medicine.
Likewise, we can change the education system too with the help of technology. We can work on improving education through virtual reality. And within a month a hundred and twenty schools in Myanmar signed up to train the teachers in 21st education.
