Technology is a double edged sword. It can be used to facilitate and accelerate destruction and can be used to facilitate and accelerate positive change. I am looking for the most positive use of technology in the world today.
What is the best example of ethical use of technology?
As a tool for people to be able to ask any question they want, and have it be answered by a community of people in a matter of moments
What is the best example of ethical use of technology?
Farmers use technology to improve their crops, and create other crops that are able to grow in areas of the world where conditions are very poor. Hence, technology is being used to help feed the poorest countries, therefore saving lives. And Yes, once again, it is America leading the way!
Sattelites orbiting the earth detect storms far in advance saving lives and reducing crop damage.



An unbelievable number of medical breakthroughs save lives every day.



Insulation and sealants are all technical breakthroughs. They save energy by reducing cold or hot air entering your house. They seal your refrigerator and freezer, both of which are technical advances.



The list goes on forever. A better question might be %26quot;What are the unethical uses of technology?%26quot; The answer would be simpler
The medical field. I think technology has really changed the way we save lives and prolong it, for the better of course :)
