The good thing about technology is that it is constantly evolving regardless to the circumstances in which people chose profit over efficiency. Technology is vital for humankind and without it there would almost be nothing with people not being able to support themselves and lead healthy lives without tools.

The action has disastrous effects and people died in horrible conditions.
There are a lot of people claiming that technology should not exist and that man can survive without it, but they admit that there are some advantages that technology brings. A most recent case proving technology to be beneficial is the innovative cancer vaccine which is presumed to come into mass production from 2010.

The technological advancement involves every man and woman in the world with no regards to the respective person's race or social status. Evolution of mankind and of technology along with it is likely to never stop as it constantly amazes people by turning the impossible into possible.
