~21st century~ ::: "MeLtdowN"

It is said that mankind has conquered most of the technological achievements in the modern age. 21st century is the century which is known for most for its developments in science, culture and Globalization. We found out many ways to make lives easier than it was ever before. They say that our world is getting smaller and more comfortable day by day. Most importantly mankind is getting more improved and stronger in the sector of medical science. We now really know how to save a life. But is that really true? Are we really being overwhelmed with the advantages of this so called "New Edge"? Well, we never know. Because every coin has its own two sides, ‘Heads’ and ‘Tails’. 21st century too came with some magnificent advantages and some horrifying disadvantages.

21st century came with a wider range of technology. We literally have the access to the information which is taking place on the other side of the world. We can communicate with each other in a split of a second. Medical science is getting more developed day by day. We can even cure many deadly diseases with some amazing vaccinations. We are now able to see each other’s face on the telephone. We can now design an “Engine64”. The engine that runs for miles and miles on a gallon of gasoline. We are now producing new antibiotics which are curing thousands of people from deadly diseases. This is not the end. These are some random examples of the advantages of the 21st century. The real picture is even more peaceful to see. It seems like things are getting so much easier that we are heading to a civilization like "Atlantis". Human have never been on peak of comfort this much anytime before.



In the other hand things are getting much more complicated than it was before too. I know my words getting confusing now. Because I have just said that the 21st century is making our lives easier. Now I am saying just the opposite. I know truth can be harsh and devastating. But the truth is, mankind is heading to a disaster by achieving these goals in technological sector. Let me demonstrate you how. When we look back, we find that science gave birth to the biggest phenomenon during past hundred years. We now know how to split the atom from a molecule. And this event has made us one of the biggest fools in the history of mankind. Because by doing so, we found out how to make an atomic bomb, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Thanks to technology, because we can now guide a missile by a satellite. Technology now permits us to hit a target through a telescope. These are some examples how technology is showing its destructive form. Science is helping us to develop our weapons more deadly and scarily deadly. If this movement does not stop, this planet will be ended up in a holocaust sooner or later. Beside from these, technological developments are making the people of this planet lazier day by day. Because machines can do all your works without getting tired. As a result, unemployment problem is getting bigger day by day.

We are advancing in the industrial sectors. But while advancing, we are making our planet warmer day by day. We have termed this fact as ‘global warming’.

I found another disadvantage of the 21st century. We have titled this problem as ‘Capitalism’. Advancements in the business sector are good. But it is also making people buy products which they really do not need to buy.

  Even though I really want to be an optimistic person, but these facts make me scared. I really wish to see a safer world. In spite of all of these facts, I really am looking forward to a better, safer and more peaceful world than it is now. But the question is “do we really want to save our planet from dying?” And do we really want to save the lives of this planet called earth?
