Technology, Good or Bad?

Technology has brought society into a new generation of living. Sometimes it was a revolutionary invention and other times it has no purpose. When the microwave was invented by NASA, people were skeptical at first but then they realized that it made cooking foods faster and efficient. Cell Phones are our generations microwave. People thought they were a waste of money and now everyone owns one. It's the same with all the new technology NASA is coming up with to give the human civilization a future. Each new invention NASA reveals to the world, is meant to give them a future. Sometimes it is a new rocket pod that can burn less fuel for a longer duration with more thrust, and other times it is a lighter, more efficient and less expensive prosthetic limb for those who have lost their leg. NASA created solar panels to harness the sun's energy to power the International Space Station and spaceships. Now almost all houses are being built with solar panels because they are cost efficient and environmentally friendly. They've created a land-mine removal device for the military to safely disarm land mines without putting soldier's lives at risk who used to have to disarm them manually. The technology NASA has created is used to keep the environment and it people who live in it safe as well as further advance us into the next generation.

Not all cases of technology was used to further advance the human race technologically. The first reported use of a rocket propulsion system was for the V2 rocket. The V2 rocket was the first intercontinental ballistic rocket created by the Nazi regime to destroy the US at a distance. When it successfully launched, The scientist who built it said, "The rocket worked beautifully, it was just pointing in the wrong direction." He originally built it for space travel and the Nazis used it for war. So a problem technology is creating is the misuse of the technology.
