Progress, Or Just A Myth?
54
The man is a historical, social and cultural, and since ancient times,
brings to mind a constant intellectual development. Each time, science
has a new technology, with each new technology appears, a new step
towards dehumanization, which is why the ego has become the center of
being, and people day after day moving away from each other, giving way
to coldness, incompaixão, and the homo-virtualis. So much for
"progress."
The triggering factor of this paradigm is that, after
thousands of years living in the cave, the man migrates to life in
society by establishing the first villages that tells the story. And
since then, opened the great scientific race, marking the culmination
of changes in the way of life of the species. In short order, I was
indeed, the "progress" was everywhere: in industry, schools, people.
Achieving a higher state was ideal, transcending the limits of
knowledge was the order.
Nowadays, thanks to science and technology - the
promoters of "progress" - the aircraft manufacturing industry, full of
people who fall into the oceans. Scientists trained in modern schools
create weapons of mass destruction. People who once lived in villages
within easy reach, live in luxury apartments or houses surrounded by
large walls. The personal contact, this is gradually being replaced by
phone, e-mails and other resources from the virtual world. So the
question that sounds striking is this really "progress"?
The technology is the fruit of science, and this in turn, the result of man. This time, we see a reversal of values: we use the technology for life, not the technology to life, triggering this process, the depreciation of human principles, such as family, friends, hug, and even a handshake. It is known that if the man is really progressing or not, is the subject of much discussion in the political, economic and / or religious. But the fact is, that if such "progress" continues, soon, the technology is who will our history.
