When Albert Einstein was questioned about the atomic bomb in the 1950s, he made a comment that “it has become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity”. So more than sixty years ago, one the greatest scientists in history came up with the conclusion that human knowledge has fallen behind technology.
I agree with Syeda that the general crowd relies too much on technology. Common examples are our dependence on calculators, Wikipedia, Google, and our obsession with getting the latest cell phone updates, etc. However, those people that are behind the design of these machines must have had a certain knowledge capacity to make these machines function successfully. Therefore, are these people still being led by technology?
In the future, I think the relationship between technology and human knowledge will continue to be like a race. Society develops because technology advances, and technology advances because the human knowledge of a certain crowd is able to constantly produce more complicated machines.
What do you guys think is the relationship between technology and human knowledge?
