Revaluation of priorities

The development is accompanied by the availability of certain products to the masses. The higher the level of progress, the greater the benefits, products and information can afford people. This "security" is the reason for the further development progress.

A famous example of that with the development of the state - the coefficient increases the danger posed by individual citizens. The higher science and technology, the greater the damage that can cause one individual. In primitive society - the savage with the club would immediately scored relatives, if he went against them. Knight in armor, armed with a sword can cut much larger population before it stopped. A terrorist with a gun can shoot methodically class students, and help will come only after 5 minutes or more. In this case, the development of science should include not only the growth of technology and embeddable in society, but also a chain of effects that these technologies can bring.

Relying on the progress we can blindly track its fresh foods and try to use them. Due to the high cost or unavailability of, some of them will pass by us. Another part - to be unnecessary. Of course, revolutionary discoveries that help prolong life and cure disease, opening of affecting the broad masses of the population, can and will be available to all. But not at once.

The rate of development depends not only on its direct embodiments, but also some indirect. In the field of cinema, gaming, literature of different genres, more than half a century can be traced "technocratic" story line. Technocratic quoted as inherent in its pure form is not. Approximately, 2,000-tion's progress and technology, presented as evil. Rise of the Machines, control mankind, "harmful" immortality, deliberate suppression abilities (if only to preserve their "humanity"). People did not understand a sharp jump in technology. And the fact that we do not understand scares us.

Being in the majority, illiterate and without interfering with earlier similar, we demonized the success of technology. The last 15 years, the fear disappears, giving place to the delight and lust. We are approaching the dreams, fantasies trying to touch up and realize dreams... Progress is not only due to the latest developments, but also in cultural creations. Plots replace accents, ideologies change, but people want to be perfect, healthy, perfect.

We are changing the world, re-drawing its image. And according to the ideal image - to change ourselves.
