As much as Technology solves diverse problems, it also creates new problems or open our eyes to problems in which, later another technology would evolve to solve.
Like my lecturers will say, the first stage of creation of anything the the stage to realize that there is a problem, how can one solve a problem he or she does not know exists ?.
The only concerning issue with technology is the extent to which humans want to push it while trying to solve problems.
So we can't complain about the speed at which people are pushing technology as it has been from the beginning of innovation. problems won't stop coming and humans won't stop trying to solve them
I agree with you; we can't halt the pace of technological innovation. But in the pursuit to push beyond limits, we often encounter issues that lead to unintended consequences. Apart from the problems we aim to solve with technology, our human nature is insatiable, always driving us even beyond our limits. Have you heard about Cryonics and how scientists are working so hard to revive the dead in the future? Sometimes I wonder the kind of the aspirations some scientists have to believe we can attain anything beyond the reality with human technology.
