Back to the cave-age? No way!


However, I am not against innovations as you might think after the previous article. :) I think ability to create and the power of our ideas-in-action is one of the similarities with God. I am just pointing out to the awareness of our actions & responsibility for what we create. Thus, it is being able to see how your piece of puzzle suits into the whole image. Is it adding to the sustainability or is it destroying peace & nature?

As Europe is increasing as an old generation, the care & support of the elderly people takes a great attention now. So firstly, prevention policy is being increased (and I think, it's a very good branch that we all take care of how to live healthy now that we wouldn't have to be suffering from severe diseases tomorrow).

Secondly, nano drug delivery is a very nice innovation, to my mind, because it ensures that the drug reaches/touches only the exact/tiny place it needed to reach, so there are no harmful side-effects of the drug.

Thirdly, tissue engineering is daily advancing. The principle of tissue engineering is very simple: the cell is taken out from the disfunctional organ of the body & is placed into a bioreactor where it multiplies. Then the new cell identical to the one taken out is brought to body again. This procedure enables good functioning of the sick organ.

Well, electro-stimulation is very expensive, but helpful top chronical back pain. These ones I find a good application of learning and knowledge. But if for instance, scientists discover how to multiply stem-cell from which all organs & tissues are created, that is a frightening view because then you don't know & control anymore what has grown and how to use it. Or putting chips into your central nerve system to control the damaged parts of the body (in this case it is used for good deed, but microchip in my head is another squary future from the phantasy movies
with everyone becoming robots & being controlled by the crazy scientists :))

I mean, people are selfish & many of them reach for power & wealth.
That maked some innovations vulnerable for bad usage.
The biggest examples of our times are
A-bomb & biochemical weapons.

Well, have a peaceful sleep! :))
