Technology?

i dont put much effort in researching my questions but i think that technology is wrong, because like look at how stuff has evolved and survived like the i dont know the aligator or croc ??? if they did not adapt to what was around them they would of died out, that took like how ever long and i think that b4 we like mass produce something it should go through all the view points from the sources we live off of. what do you think?Technology?
i agree and disagree with you. I think that to much technology is a bad thing. For instance we have helped create bigger and better disease by extending the life span and stopping natural selection. I mean when people got a disease the caught it and died. Sad but true. Now we keep them around to spread it so we can find a cure. Meanwhile we have created an epidemic. Aids was and still is a terrible thing but did we help spread it through the use of technology? So agree with you on that part. The other hand though we have been able to extend life and cure disease and do things better. So it is hard to say which is better less or more.Technology?
for us (humans), technology is a shortcut of something. technology makes it easier for us to do something.Technology?
The philosophy you espouse is a form of "social Darwinism," though that is a bit of a misnomer since Darwin himself did not subscribe to that way of thinking, though some of his contemporaries did.



Ultimately it makes little practical or ethical sense. The "goal" of evolution is gene replication, not the survival or contentment of individuals, groups, or the species. Why should we wish to make that our goal?



The "goal" for humanity, if anything, should be long, happy lives for as much of the population as possible. Everyone has different ideas about how to work towards that end, but waiting for evolution to sort it out isn't very realistic.



If what you want is a smarter, stronger, healthier, happier human population, forsaking technology is precisely the wrong approach to take. The capacity for tool-building and tool-use (technology) may be the single most significant and most powerful adaptation in the history of evolution on Earth. Throwing that away would be cutting off your nose despite your face.



Advances in genetics, cybernetics and artificial/synthetic intelligence are our best bet for a serious leap towards something "better." Look into transhumanism. Even if you don't buy into sci-fi visions of a transformed humanity, however, it's hard to deny that the good that technology produces tends to far outweighs the bad.
I like exactly what you are saying and from a consumers point of view it is a good idea.

There are groups that consumer test new products to give an idea of any changes required.

However any product that is in this stage is costing and not making money.

Take the Microsoft XBOX 360, people consider this a classic example of product testing (beta testing) on the public. BUT if everyone has already paid in, you have money in the bank to make improvements and evolve.



Remember evolution is not animals changing - it's the ones that havn't changed dying out.
