IS TECHNOLOGY DEMEANING HUMANISM?

Well am just asking or may be am wondering is technology doing us much harm than good?Am thinking of this spoilt teenager who is way too obese and obsessed with their phone,video and all other posh electronic gadgets-technological supplements.

We cannot wholly curse the dawning of technology,we know it has made the world a better place.Made humanity dwell and at least not "survive" like in the stone age.Means of transport efficient and cheaper,communication faster and reliable,health wise we have hope to live longer,education wise information is at hand.We can smile about technology..but of course not all the way.

The information say the news we are getting especially on the future of mankind is melancholic.We are getting it from scientists,films and also researchers who tell us of the future possibilities.

I just watched a mediacapital and co-star film production Elysium.
Elysium is a 2013 American dystopian science fiction action thriller film written, directed, and co-produced by Neill Blomkamp, and starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.[3] It was released on August 9, 2013, in both conventional and IMAX Digital theaters.

In 2154, a minute number of people reside on a luxurious space habitat called Elysium and the vast majority on an overpopulated and devastated Earth. While those on Earth are policed by ruthless robots, Elysium's citizens live in absolute comfort and regularly use medical devices called Med-Bays to cure any disease and injury.

The ruthless robots policing earth dwellers mistreat humans leading to torment and death to those who don't make it to Elysium-the safe heaven. There is a lot of mind control that leaves human with no option but obey or die,this creates a new world order that only those who sail with the "technological commands" live.I think just saying..someone should moderate this!
