Science and technology are evolving in the direction of modernization to satisfy the demand of human. Inevitably, progress would entail risks. However, some of them can be acceptable and overcome.
First of all, I would like to mention the influence of science and technology on the environment and nature. For the in-depth research, scientists have to use ingredient from nature. For example, the animals which are capable of experiment such as mice or rabbits are commonly used to test the potion or chemotherapy. Consequently, useful medicaments have appeared. However, the quantity of animals have decreased significantly, thereby leading to the ecological imbalance. Environment is also affected seriously because of biochemical reactions. Hence, progress must be accompanied with natural conversation.
The next point I would like to make is the health problems. Although scientific and technological advances can help people cure many diseases, there have been a lot of new epidemic arising due to ecological changes. People living in industrial areas are considered to be suffered from respiratory and heart diseases with very high number. Recent studies also have shown that the rate of cancer mortality is increasing considerably. In addition, the modern electronic equipment makes people become dependent. If we use a computer or smart phone for a long time, this surely lead to spine diseases and myopia. As a result, new diseases, technological dependence and the problem of psychological and physiological changes have caused the profound impact on our life.
At last, I think the pursuit of scientific and technological progress has a dramatical effect on the economy. Many countries have invested a lot of money in these advances, but not all of them bring a good result. Recently, some of them have caused the severe economic depression so that citizens have to face with difficulties. Not only does the country carry out modernization but also contiguous others can be affected. Governments should propose new methods to improve and overcome these issues.
In brief, there have been many risks which people must face with when pursuing the improvement of science and technology. As I mentioned earlier, which is a little part of the topic. In my opinion, the effective method for this is the right awareness in working and acting.
