China is stepping into an aging society. Statistics at the end of 20 17 show that the population over 65 years old accounts for 1 1.4%, and the elderly population is increasing day by day. However, the old people are obviously not so keen on new technologies and inventions. They can't use smart phones, ride bicycles, use WeChat Alipay and pass smart security checks.
Technological progress has brought them more difficulties than convenience, and unmanned supermarkets have also made them reluctant to turn to grocery stores and other places where cash is collected.
In addition, for children, technological progress is not all good, and it is even eroding their childhood. Childhood is a time of hard work and lofty aspirations, but you can't extricate yourself from online games (except for children who take e-sports as their profession); Software such as "Little Ape Search" is also destroying their independent thinking ability.
Online work has also seriously damaged their eyesight. They wear glasses since childhood, which will not only affect their growth path, but also hang the future of the motherland on the edge of a cliff.
Secondly, the application of science and technology will cause more serious environmental problems. Plastics, once considered as one of the most practical inventions in the 20th century, also met with worldwide resistance. The inventors at that time did not expect that this kind of hard-to-degrade plastic would not only do harm to land, but also threaten marine life, and what's more, it would threaten our own health.
Judging from the development and utilization of science and technology, new technology will inevitably produce new environmental problems, because science and technology serve the economy and environmental problems are not within its consideration, so it can improve economic benefits but rarely protect the environment.
Extended data:
In China, with the development of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, especially the promotion of the internet plus action plan and "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" in recent years, the * * * enjoyment mode has become an important choice for many entrepreneurs.
From online creative design and marketing planning to catering accommodation, logistics express, capital lending, transportation, life service, medical care, knowledge and skills, scientific research and experiments, the enjoyment economy has penetrated into almost all fields.
Scientific and technological progress liberates productive forces, reduces information transmission time and greatly improves efficiency. If there must be any side effects, it is that the space for human progress is getting smaller and smaller, and the space for improvement is getting slower and slower.
For example, space technology, both countries completed landing on the moon decades ago, and there are no more human exploration plans. It is difficult to overcome the technical bottleneck in a short time, so we have to use time to strive for more space.
