Humanity Needs and Technology

Re: Humanity Needs and Technology

@psyah

Nested within what you have written is my point …

1. Not enough thought is given to real benefit to mankind
2. Measures are being taken circumvent the possible ills or correct information just so people can continue making money from their technology.

**technology in the purist sense is neutral … It is not neutral in the real world **… Because it is backed by profit making organisations and the wisdom is that there is very little overlap between what is truly beneficial and what is made available to the technology using masses.

You said what I have been saying.

it is the human who use or make technolgy bad.

Dont compare children with “mature” human being.
However I have made my point, where you have acknowledge that problem exists at one, that simply implies that problem do exists at the other end which you trying to avoid accepting then acknowledge. But, for the sake of argument, if you persist that problem does not exist at the other end, even then, my point is made that problem exists.

Why not?

I gave perfect example of falling in to temptations. And when speaking of temptations, adults are not different than children. In being adults they are worse than children since they have no excuse. A least children have excuse of being children.

I never said problem does not exist on the other end. I even compared to problem creating people with shaitan.

Moreover I said I can write how evil corporate culture maybe in post #54.

“I am completely aware of how (evil) corporates allure people to buy their products and how they try to scam people to continue to spend more money.”

I am not sure what you want to discuss further.

1- If it is about technology then we both seem to agree it is neutral by itself.

2- If you want to say there is wrongful use of technology. I have already said that.

3- If you want to not blame consumers and take them off their responsibilities or try to create consumer versus corporates paranoid analogy of good versus bad then I disagree.

4- If you say laws and regulations are needed for everyone not just for corporates, then I would agree. But not when corporates or technology inventors are unilaterally bashed without giving thoughts like in above video.

Please decide what you want to discuss further. Or just carry on. I see the discussion not going anywhere as it is.

@ajazali

Does bolded part mean govt should not regulate food selling and let people sell whatever they want?

Prove your last line by some example of some street of some locality of Saudi arabia.
Laws regarding food control are in place in all the counteries, its another matter that wheteher they implement it or not.
P.S. I mentioned Saudi Arabia cuz my relatives have been living there for several years.

Sir! You asked me about developed countries and I gave you example of ice-cream vendors selling it on a van in developed countries. KSA is not a developed country.

(Golay are not in developed countries culture but similar items are sold everywhere and people are free to buy them)

Also KSA does not stop people buying harmful items not even cigarettes. “Evil” corporates make cigarettes and people buy those free everywhere.
