           Some Aspects and Glimpses in the Advance of Technology

New technologies depend on the world views and values they are driven by.It will drive forward human evolution by extending human capabilities beyond their biological limits.

 Nano-medicine is motivated by the desire to alleviate human suffering in making accurate functional intervention in the ailing body, e.g. advances in medical scienceshave elicited button -hole surgery versus normal type via computerised technology and shortened recovery time drastically.

The in vitrio -fertilisation of female eggs and in vivo implantation in females of humans and animals gave hope to later middle-to-aged females of giving birth and acquire off spring. But this has its ethical as well as social implications and complexities which sometimes have to be resolved in judicial courts.

Many arguments have been put forward as for humans and animals alike being regarded as manipulative gadgets and not living beings. These are more than a bag of genes and functions to be enhanced but have ethical and social considerations.

Gene technology however in contrast to the above argument, has found solid grounds in propagation of welfare of humans as well as animals alike. The genetic heredity can be altered; diseases can be eliminated and various impressions and features can be altered in the womb of offspring before birth.

The nanotechnology enabled the use of trace amounts of DNA strands from various types of body parts in order so as to identify the aggressors to a great accuracy and equivocally in the world of criminology.

 It is fair go to say that the food industry has benefited quite remarkably in securing a disease-free and infectious-resistant plant varieties, and hence increased both the quality and quantity of nutritional plant parts. Genetically modified crops (GM crops) were needed to feed the world. However, this approach did not extend far enough to alleviate the current food crisis especially in the developing world.

The enormous development in computer technology has outstretched to various aspects of life. Computational analysis of data collected thereof, increased our knowledge of the intrinsic ways of life. It allowed space travel to celestial bodies be feasible and enabled human beings to launch rockets and outer space stations into maintained orbits whereby vast amounts of information are gathered on weather changes, inter-and intra-telecommunications and international, air, and sea and land navigational beacons.

These are but a few of the demonised and rapid advance in technology can afford to create and its impact in a global perspective.
