Modern Technology has created more problems than solutions in society

Employment (solution and also problem)
• Modern technology has increased the productivity of the employers. Most of the employers have high education and can manage the machines very well
• However, for some lower education workers, modern technology is a burden for them and they may be easily substituted by machines. In this case, they may lost their jobs

Health and medicine enhancement (solution)
• Some incurable diseases now can be cured with the modern technology
• Longer life expectancy

Enhance extensiveness of the global network/communication (solution)
• Disparity between difference nationalities can be reduced significantly
• People maybe in a different country from another, they can easily communicate through the internet

Travel/leisure (solution):
• The distances between countries are shortened and people can travel more conveniently, thus people get to experience what it is like in another country
• For example, the television and computers make people’s lives more interesting. They get to know what is happening around the world

Promotes anti-social behaviours (problem):
• Certain people will choose to socialize in the virtual world in this digital era
• People may become unable to communicate with people in the real world and attach to the digital friend

Technology in weapon (problem):
• Destruction of people’s lives
• For example, nuclear bombs dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima which destroyed the cities totally and caused millions of people to have radioactive effects
• If the control is not rigorous enough, nuclear technology may fall into the hands of terrorists which would further worsen the problem of terrorist threat. If terrorists use the nuclear technology, they would cause mass destruction and bring about another tragedy which would be even more devastating than the September 11 incident
