TECHNOLOGY OPENS OUT AN EXCITING PATH TO THE HUMANS

To Become Co-creators in the Universe

Abstract

The blessings that the advance of technology has brought to humanity are incalculable. It has made life safe, comfortable, intelligent, with possibility for worldwide relationships. But there was a price to be paid. The Industrial Revolution to which the technical innovations gave birth was hard upon the workers. Increased production to respond to the rising expectations of globalised world has led to overuse of natural resources, deforestation, habitat destruction, soil erosion, and damaged to environment. In a technology-led society there is a danger that human beings get massified, impersonality increases in relationships,
families are torn apart, decision-making shifts from elected leaders to “experts.” That is why it has become important that a technology-led society must have a sense of direction. That is where religion can help. Technology must serve the purpose for which humanity and the rest of the universe came into existence. This paper intends to invite people to throw open all doors to the new discoveries of science and technology, invite fresh thinking, promote inter-disciplinary sharing, and encourage further collaboration between the representatives of science technology and religion. It is thus that technology opens out an exciting path to the humans to become co-creators in the universe.
