Technology is destroying us
They say knowledge is power but how much do we really know ..?
In a world where information is travelling faster than time we tend to feel that we are left behind as everything else is moving faster ...& faster !!
We live in the age of technology. The Era of globalization
We lives a state of luxury and prosperity with our fancy cars, secured jobs,smart phones , Mac books and flat screens. I often ask often myself:
Did we really evolve .. ?
in my search for answer I cam across very interesting facts that need not to overlook
Climate Changes
Our modern civilization brought a curse to us and our planet earth according to NASA climate resource center carbon dioxide levels highest in 3 million years in result this increased the global temperature dramatically
image below from NASA website showing time series above shows the five-year average variation of global surface temperatures. Dark blue indicates areas cooler than average. Dark red indicates areas warmer than average.
as some governments are heavily investing in renewable energy source project other nations are not really doing much
As I looked online I came across interesting documentary that watched about the meat industry and it's effect on the agricultural & plane. The film predicts a water crisis that is going to take place in the next decade as we are moving toward consuming cheap meat
Wars , Cancer and Poverty
with more than 10 million wars death all over the world in the last decade along with the rise of the terrorism attacks and the emergence of extremist terrorist groups our world is no longer safe !
the creation of GMO foods and its direct connection to the rise of cancer statics "The number of new cases of cancer (cancer incidence) is 454.8 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 cases). The number of cancer deaths (cancer mortality) is 171.2 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2008-2012 deaths).Mar 22, 2017" - source: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/statistics
Nearly half of the world’s population live on less than two dollars/day;More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day.
1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty.
805 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat. Food banks are especially important in providing food for people that can’t afford it themselves. Run a food drive outside your local grocery store so people in your community have enough to eat. Sign up for Supermarket Stakeout.
More than 750 million people lack adequate access to clean drinking water. Diarrhea caused by inadequate drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene kills an estimated 842,000 people every year globally, or approximately 2,300 people per day.
In 2011, 165 million children under the age 5 were stunted (reduced rate of growth and development) due to chronic malnutrition.
What have we done? What brought us to here? there's obviously a mistake in the system.
Are we living in the modern times?? or it's just an illusion that we created ...
Now is the time to act to make a difference to change the world ; to a better place .
Note [ I have wrote this article myself sorry for any spelling mistakes , I have looked up some sources for statics which i have included]
Thank you very much.
The world we live in is scary, we throw away food in so-called developpe country while half of the population is dying from starvation, non sense.
