GROUP ANTI for the topic SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY as a THREAT

SOCIAL

1. It supports networking and communication.-The Internet in particular enables us to expand


our network of friends and associate effortlessly. We now have social networking sites like
Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter to accommodate this. In addition, gone are the
days where you need to spend a big amount of money to call someone from the opposite
part of the globe. Instant messengers like Skype made communication costless.

2. It made information easily accessible.-Looking for a cure to headache? Need to do some


shopping? Writing an academic paper? Searching for a job? You can now do all of these
without leaving your house.

3. Treatment and vaccines- Possible for numerous diseases and research for other disease
are carrying out.

4. Reducing Crimes – As well as finding the culprit thought the use of CCTV cameras, alcohol
detector and traffic lights.

5. Allows fair and easier sharing of society’s resources - Convergence of science and
technology with society entails globalization, but will not necessarily lead to uniformity across
nations or institutions of society. In the past, technologies differed from one place to another
not only because societies differed in terms of their level of development but also because
of contrasting natural conditions, historical accidents, and cultural values. Discoveries and
inventions do tend to spread from their points of origin to other locations, and extensive
research and theorizing have identified a large number and variety of factors that shape this
diffusion. Innovation has tended to be localized, for example, in the familiar “Silicon Valley”
phenomenon, in which a relatively small number of scientists and engineers communicated
intensively with each other, as they collectively progressed. Thus, we cannot be assured that
all parts of the globe will be equally creative in innovating, even as they all are affected by
it. Over time, however, cycles of convergence and divergence can ensure dynamism on the
global scale.

6. Improves the living standards of humans- New inventions help foster the production,
storage, treatment and transportation of goods. Societies which invest in research and
development have a competitive edge and thrive. The people in technologically advanced
societies live more comfortable lives.
7. Provides objective understanding and perceptions of the universe - Science and
technology provide people with the knowledge and tools to understand and address many
of the challenges of a rapidly changing world. It is equally important that students are
provided with learning experiences that integrate tools, knowledge, and processes of
science and technology.
8. It helps dealing with natural calamities – Like making damns check floods that gives prior
information of the calamities like cyclone, tsunami and storms.
9. Weaponization of viruses - From the earliest documentary evidence surviving from the
ancient civilizations of Babylonia, China, Egypt, and India, it is clear that longevity, disease,
and death are among humanity's oldest preoccupations. From ancient times to the
Renaissance, knowledge of the living world changed little, the distinction between animate
and inanimate objects was blurred, and speculations about living things were based on
prevailing ideas about the nature of matter. Many developing countries still lack the basic
structure for the application of ethical practices in research and clinical care, including the
development of institutional ethics committees, governmental regulatory bodies, and
independent bioethical research bodies. Every country requires a completely independent
bioethics council that can debate the issues uninhibited by pressures from government,
commerce, or pressure groups of any kind.

10. Genetically modified foods - help fight hunger and ensure that world population
continues to be fed. Genetic modification techniques contribute to produce more food and
to maintain agricultural production at affordable prices.

ECONOMIC
1. Travelling has become fast and easy in minutes- Technology has allowed humans to travel
faster and trade goods all over the world. Crossing the Atlantic was historically an adventure
that would take weeks. Now in just a few hours you can travel from New York to London or
Paris. Thanks to technology we can have holidays in remote locations and capture these
moments through pictures. We can now buy and consume goods produced far away. In the
same supermarket you can find French cheeses, South African wines, Spanish olive oils,
Brazilian coffees, and Japanese fish.
2. Communication has become easy, fast and cheaper. - The Internet, computers and
mobile phones illustrate the role of technology in improving society. Efficiency has
skyrocketed thanks to these inventions. Our work and social lives have been transformed.
People can now work from home and collaborate with teams located in other towns,
countries or even continents. We can keep a fluid communication and relationship with
friends and family living abroad. News of events cross the globe in seconds. Social netwoks
such as facebook and twitter are extremely useful. Thanks to technology grandparents get
to see and chat with their grandchildren much more often. People today get to meet others
sharing similar hobbies or interests.
3. It increases return on investment- Businesses nowadays can easily reach their target clients
at a much reduced cost though the use of the Internet. They can also now ensure the
delivery of merchandises on time through advanced automobile technologies.

4. It increases production - Technology has significantly improved efficiency and benefited


businesses across industries. From automakers to bakers, everyone is enjoying its benefits.

5. It helps in managing better resources - Without technology we would still be nomads


hunting and gathering fruits and vegetables. Industrial societies heavily rely on technological
progress. We can feed a fast growing world population thanks to the continuous innovation
in production techniques.
6. Many operations in the field of medical has become so easier with perfection- The
medical advancements have helped us develop vaccines and treatment for diseases which
were previously lethal. Giving birth is not as dangerous as it used to be. Technological
progress has allowed develop new techniques for diagnosis and mitigation of diseases and
other conditions. Scientific research has improved our understanding of nutrition and
contributed to healthier lifestyles.

7. Advancement in education - Technology can be utilized to improve teaching and


learning and help our students be successful. Instead of the teacher being the main fountain
of assistance in a classroom, students can access online resources to get assistance on
demand. Technology can also extend education in another way.

8. Good job opportunities- Science and technology professionals can be found in almost
any sector, from government to manufacturing to pharmaceuticals. The following guide
offers a high-level overview of the various degree programs and employment avenues within
science and technology, details the major areas of opportunity, discusses common skillsets,
and provides insight into education, employment and potential earnings.

9. Culture preservation - The necessity of culture for human survival and flourishing also
demanded a human vessel in which such memory could be transmitted — namely the city,
itself a masterpiece of technology. Indeed, for this reason Aristotle writes that “man is by
nature the political animal,” understanding that we would not be human but for our
capacity to govern ourselves in concert with one another, to create stable and
longstanding human communities. Culture couldn’t perpetuate itself in the absence of
politics, and thus politics and culture are mutually reinforcing; politics and polis are shaped
by culture even as they shape the culture.

10. Renewable energies - The importance of technology in the development of renewable


energies is evident. Without technological progress it would be difficult to envisage a green
future in which the problem of climate change could be kept under control. Scientific
advancements are making electric cars more affordable and enhancing the effectiveness
and efficiency of solar and eolic energy, as well as that hydropower.

POLITICAL
1. It boost defence system of a nation – If country have advanced fighter planes, missiles,
weapons, satellite technology then it’s borders, citizen are more safe.

2. Long range communication for government- The National Council for Science and
Technology Communication (NCSTC) is mandated to communicate Science and
Technology to masses, stimulate scientific and technological temper and coordinate and
orchestrate such efforts throughout the country. The programmes of NCSTC aims at building
capacity for informed decision making in the community and promote scientific thinking. It is
devoted towards societal upliftment through the dissemination of scientific knowledge in an
informed manner and builds programmes with the help of different media which percolate
down to every nook and corner of the society.
3. Safety and security improves - Police forces are core players in the field of public safety. In
order to gain trust and legitimacy from citizens and other stakeholders, they need to
balance very diverse expectations. The co-creation of public safety is dependent on trust
between all stakeholders; to gain such trust, it requires a redefinition and readjustment of the
distribution of power and the perception of organisations.

4. Helps in overall development of nation - Developments in science and technology are


fundamentally altering the way people live, connect, communicate and transact, with
profound effects on economic development. To promote tech advance, developing
countries should invest in quality education for youth, and continuous skills training for
workers and managers.

Service and technology are the differentiators between countries that are able to tackle
poverty effectively by growing and developing their economies, and those that are not. The
extent to which developing economies emerge as economic powerhouses depends on
their ability to grasp and apply insights from science and technology and use them
creatively. Innovation is the primary driver of technological growth and drives higher living
standards.

5. Easy communication through social media - Social media and the technology used to
access it have a greater influence over your life than you even realise, but stop and consider
the benefits of such a lifestyle. It has become easy to slander popular culture and condemn
the people around us as ‘slaves to a screen’, not realising what we take for granted. I’m
referring to the 4.4 billion people without internet access in the world, who would cherish the
opportunity to be fingertips away from friends and family.

Our generation is fortunate enough to be able to connect simultaneously with friends from
the past, present and future. Generations before us were compelled to communicate via
the mail service, and although this service remains, it is seen as a tedious form of
correspondence. Social media instead makes it easier than ever to forge a relationship with
like-minded people and form communities of shared interests, because self-expression is the
key concept.

6. Proper process of papers to avoid theft and scams - Jurisdiction in the Congress over
technology issues is spread out among many committees and subcommittees. Similarly,
authority in the Executive Branch for developing and implementing technology-related
policy is diffused across multiple levels.

7. Magnetic Resonance - We could enquire criminals and terrorist we could also prevent
harm for society. Similarly, thanks to advanced IT, it is possible to analyse the
communications of millions of people and identify potential crimes and wrongdoers.
Unfortunately, there is a very real possibility that technology will end up used by some
governments in a draconian way.
8. Improves society and social lives - Technology and human life cannot be separated;
society has a cyclical co-dependence on technology. We use technology; depend on
technology in our daily life and our needs and demands for technology keep on rising.
Humans use technology to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in
comfort. However, technology has also caused us concerns. Its poor application has resulted
in the pollution of the environment and it has also caused a serious threat to our lives and
society. This calls for the proper use of technology. The biggest challenge facing people is to
determine the type of future we need to have and then create relevant technologies which
will simplify the way we do things.

Technology has improved communication: Communication is used for a number of


purposes. Both society and organizations depend on communication to transfer information.
People use technology to communicate with each other. Electronic media like radios,
televisions, internet, social media have improved the way we exchange ideas which can
develop our societies. In many countries, radios and televisions are used to voice the
concerns of the society, they organize live forums where the community can contribute
through mobile phones or text service systems like tweeter. During political elections, leaders
use radio, television and internet media to reach the people they want to serve.

9. Upgrade political field - The U.S. political system, operating under a very conservative
constitution with many checks and balances, favors the status quo. Such a system requires
consensus building that can be difficult in a country with so many competing values and
interests.

10. Advance control on election - More widespread deployment will require addressing
common misconceptions around the security of open-source technology. The fact is that
open source introduces much needed transparency to elections and voting, and a
fundamental tenet of secure systems is that they should be open and transparent.

Increasingly, influential jurisdictions are demanding that products and systems built for them
are open source. These demands pressure vendors that have a vested interest in continuing
to build proprietary, closed systems where they believe it is easier to protect their intellectual
property. If open-source deployments go well in leading jurisdictions, it will open the
floodgates to widespread adoption.
Election and voting technology remains of significant interest to a broad range of
stakeholders, and there will be meaningful movement toward ensuring these systems have
the correctness, security, user experience and transparency required to ensure trustworthy
elections.
