Are scientists future superheroes? Perhaps, can be. Have you watched 'fantastic four' movie? It is one of the science fiction movies. These movies are multifarious bluprints of our future. The science & technology has dexterity to control man's action in limited to unlimited range. There is steep rise in use of technology and why should not be ? But we should aware about the fact that today's use of science will decide our future trajectory.
In news, articles were published on how toilets are turned into smart toilets which can do analysis of human urine & poop to give health report, how stethoscope are getting replaced with digital stethoscope to maintain social distancing & avoid covid 19 contamination, how 3D printing is going to use for ventilator production to meet the demand of it in COVID19 pandemic etc. The war can be of anytype, whether it is with weapons, biological or technological, scientists have always played role as unsung heroes. The medium of war can be anything, whether land, water, air or space, without R & D it is difficult to sustain & pave the way for victory. All scientists have unprecedented superpower of creativity of technology & technology of creativity. But, there are challenges with benefits.
Biotechnology is the emerging field which holds risks & challenges posed by the interaction of developments in it and advances in three emerging technologies
1. Additive Manufacturing (AM)
2. Artificial Intelligence
3. Robotics
Article 36 of the 1977 is additional protocol to 1949 Geneva Conventions. This reviews the legality of weapons in above three mentioned emerging fields of technology. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is nothing but a 3D printing is used for multipurpose manufacturing objects from plastics & metals that relay on the transfer of build information in a digital form. It has bigger application in missile manufacturing as well as wider aerospace technology. It is speculated that a complete nuclear weapon or gas centrifuge could be built using 3D printers. Can you imagine, where the scientists have taken this science?
See, technology is fundamental agent of social change, offering new possibilities to produce, preserve and spread knowledge. Though we hold new possibilities, we must aware its risk of misuse. We should have optimisation of its use. One shouldn't get ensare in misguiding use. In my view, scientists are like doctors and care takers of world, maintaining nature's law and the hope of beautiful tomorrow. We have profound history of these scientists, superheroes with superpower to shape the world.

Disha, very nice...
ReplyDeleteSuch an informative article it is... We really need to know and think on all these things.. It's a booster dose for our thinking process.. I would definitely want to read more.. Thanks
Sure! Thank you !! 😊
