Tiny computers, Robots that serve coffee. Cars that park themselves. Science has come this far, and it is definitely not stopping to advance. Soon we will find ourselves in full automated houses and many more advanced technologies around us. Life will pace even faster that it does now.
It seems that man’s quest to make his lifestyle as convenient as possible is a never-ending chase. Give on a computer that helps him solve math problems, and he will look for a laptop. Give him a laptop, and he will want a smaller, more powerful computer that fits the palm of his hand he wants a cell phone that takes pictures and plays music. He wants a television set that covers whole of its wall. But control doesn’t end gadgets and machines. We want to be in control with all aspects of our lives. Even the food we eat now is different. Our farmers have been enjoying the fruits of technology. Now, we have corns that pests cannot invade. We have bigger grains of rice. There are these people already that have made ways to grow crops being immune already with diseases and pests. This raises productions and the livelihood of farmers.
With such developments it seems that we are all winning, right? Well, not quite. While we are all enjoying these new technologies, but at the same time we are using up Mother Earth’s resources, and as we all know that we do have limited supply of these resources. And by these things we have apparently used it in most ways that have contributed to the destruction of our environment or simply our Mother Earth. Just like in the conference I just recently attended which is all about An Inconvenient Truth documentary related to Global Warming and the conditions of our environment and our worls we are now in. And that we have been experiencing the effects of greenhouse gases which leads to the fast melting of the ice caps in the Artic area which is of a very big problem if it would all dry up.
But still, Science is trying to repair the harm done. Alternative energy resources are being researched. Just like here in the Philippines. WE have these volcanoes wherein we make use of its geothermal power and by planting different geothermal plants in different regions in which by this way it could somehow help in the reduction in the power production.
While research for alternative sources of energy is still underway, we all can do our part in preserving nature. Conservation of energy is one, and we can even do this in our own homes. Scientists take part in conservation, too – creating machineries that ease our lives without sacrificing the environment. A smart cooling an heating systems is one such example. Using light from the sun’s rays which is virtually infinite, we can cool and heaty our homes despite the actual climate. Because it uses solar power, the Earth's limited fuel resources will remain untouched.
At the rate were going, we just hope that the earth-saving technological developments would catch up wi8th earth-damaging ones. If we were able to make all these gadgets and technological advancements, then we can surely take control of the damages brought by all these things. This is the task that of which we all, scientists or not, must take part.
