technology

As technology gets better and better, there's a lot of buzz about living eco. Everybody says we must plant more trees, save forests etc.etc. There's also a lot of talk about how gadgets harm the brain, emit radiations. There is even a fact that when your mobile rings in your shirt pocket, it actually stops your heart for a second.

The other field where man has advanced is bio-technology. Along with higher yield and more taste, the fertilisers and other things reduce nutritional value and add harmful chemicals inot our systems.

In medical sciences man has advanced so much yet the new medicines have side effects and destroy the balance in our body. Some people still prefer ayurvedic medicines and are going back to that.

In transport, all vehicles emit poisonous gases and they say the earth is getting heated.

Every single way that man has advanced, man has harmed himself and the environment. As i have said many times, I am an eco-freak and I was pondering these issues when I realised exactly what man is doing.

We are advancing at great speed and on reaching what we aimed for, we are saying they are not good and life in the olden days with no moblies and cars and higher-nutrition poison free food is better, why did we advance at all. We shall plant more trees, creating forests everywhere, grow our own crops using manure rather than fertilisers, stop using mobiles, go to school in a bullock cart (or maybe a horse for speed, an elephant for efficiency) and soon we may find ourselves living like men in the stone age and call ourselves eco-friendly men.

Soon, we may puzzle Darwin himself by turning back into chimpanzees. Who knows?
