Technology and

Human Flourishing

  • (^) The term “generation gap” is attributed mainly to the changes brought about technology.
  • (^) It cannot be denied that until today, not everyone is comfortable in using the different kinds of technologies that are too complicated to operate.
  • (^) It is a challenge for people in the field of science and technology to make these technological advancements more accessible and less confusing for people who are not as young anymore.

The Human Conditions before Common

Era and During Common Era

a) before common era

  • (^) Homo erectus has been using fire to cook, all the while without realizing the laws of friction and heat.
  • (^) Tools from stone and flints marked the era of the Stone Age, during the advent of our very own Homo sapiens.
  • (^) People discovered minerals and began forging metalwork.
  • (^) Fur clothing and animal skin are primarily used for comfort against harsh winds. They begin to cover themselves up out of necessity.
  • (^) People of the time had also painstakingly wrought and hewed said figures in honor of some deity; initial roster of primitive gods includes objects they encounter through their day-to-day lives.

b) some notable conditions during common era

  • Driven by their primal need to survive, humans were quick to find ways to drive off other megafaunas threatening a prospective hunting spot.
  • (^) The ongoing extinction of several species—both flora and fauna—due to human activity
  • (^) They began to hunt, farm, and produce things with prospect of profit.
  • (^) When they could not sell products, they used their skills and got compensated for it—bringing forth a specialized group of artisans.
  • (^) Physical strength was valued at most, although there appeared to be as many intellectually gifted figures just the same.

Backtracking Human Conditions

  • (^) Technology’s initial promises proved to be true, regardless of its ramifications.
  • (^) Different machineries aid in prolonging lives- assisting those with disabilities, honing efficiency in industrial workplaces, and many more.
  • (^) Some places in the world are still battling for their daily survival-diseases, tribe wars, lack of habitable territories, and competitions on resources.
  • (^) A lot of people still subscribe to religion in explaining things that they do not know. For those who have ceased to do so, they have turned their worships to reverence of science.
  • (^) They are still trying to discover and rediscover things as to how their existence of the world make sense, and technology does little to aid them in the pursuit of life’s meaning.
  • (^) Technological advancements are seemingly occurring in a rapid pace that our morality cannot quite keep up; no such consideration was given in this approach in achieving good life.
