Unfamiliar Innovations Are Sensitively Noticeable

     

          Surrounding us are the myriad of impressive scientific achievements. It's undeniable that the growth of science has given us such essential movements, especially in the health category. Genetic engineering is also one of them. Since the 1970s, there have been wonders in genetic engineering. Specifically, it has helped the agricultural industry creating pesticide-resistant crops. Although the idea seems to bring us benefits, its practice is hard. Perhaps because artificial supplies are still are still new things to our people.

          It might seem that the pesticide-resistant crops are not something ultimately strange. The genetically modifying organisms might be no more than the combination between the traditional agriculture and factors of science. However, because it is an unfamiliar innovation to us, we seem to focus on its cautions than the characteristic of it.

          Hence, it appears to be a thing that hasn't approached our daily life before; therefore, its negative sides are sensitively noticeable even if there are disastrous consequences can be myths. Take LGBT as an example. Decades ago, it officially appeared in our society as an inappropriate thing to exist. However, recently, LGBT community is widely accepted and respected. Since then, it is understandable why thoughts like "strengthening organisms artificially can affect the natural balance of ecosystems" without clear proofs are common.

          However, as people focus on the disastrous consequences and the natural balance of ecosystems, they tend to ignore the benefits the pesticide-resistant crops could bring. Some perspectives predict these crops will help us deal with global food shortages. So, is being so cautious a liability to the solutions for our world's crisis?

          In conclusion, this genetic engineering achievement, pesticide-resistant crops, have difficulties approaching society because people haven't got enough information about them. In that way, we have accidentally ignored some innovations that might work great for the common good. However, fear and hesitation are the habitats that have helped humans to survive since the stone age, so perhaps we should thank them.

The Harmony Between Humans And Machines

          We are living in a modern world full of supplies provided by intelligent machines. Thank the advances in technology, we are able to have more qualified goods and significant science explorations. Hence, intelligent machines help human beings develop and vice versa. However, they also produce problems.

  First, let's get to the idea of how we grow into better through the development of intelligent machines. As the growth of technology, we need to reevaluate our abilities. To have innovations in technology, we need to improve our knowledge. By then, education goes more various. As more scientific achievements we have, as more knowledge for us to purchase. For example, lost of new technological majors appear such as MIS or IT. In other words, the world's knowledge has elaborated to a higher level.

  On the other hand, because intelligent machines are repetitive, high-speed and extremely precise, the low-skill jobs are slowly taken over in our community. Since then, the potentials of the decrease in the unemployment rate is an essential concern. However, I believe there are always ways to work things out. The resilient evidence is the hard time when the economic collapse takes place, we find out solutions and innovations to solve things out. After the rain of the Depressions in history, the country rose up stronger. Take this concern as a Depression, we can push our limits higher than we've ever known. One suggestion is the open schools for the unemployed. Providing them with mechanical and technological knowledge is a way to help them get a new job.

          In contrast, there are perspectives in the society that bring us a limited view of the intelligent machines. By blaming the community's dissonance on them, we tend to forget the fact the conflicts of religions and cultures have more potentials to cause a war than a machine.

          In conclusion, advances in technology have given us chances to overcome or develop the long-standing ideas of what people can be. By that way, we also help the technology grow. It has been proved to be a harmony between humans and machines by the remarkable ways that education developed and myriad scientific achievements.
