1. What do you think is the attitude of an old man to life?

The old man's outlook on life exemplifies one of the well-known
saying, "simplicity is the beauty of life." For him, the best way to live is in
simple and natural lifestyle. He believed that the conveniences that
people enjoy disconnect them from the true purpose of living in this life.
He holds the view that a man should live in accordance with nature,
relying only on the resources provided by the nature and avoiding an
overreliance on technology. Explicitly, the old man would rather get in
touch with nature and take advantage of its resources than to make use
of the technology.

2. The attitude of an old man towards science & technology?

The old man believes that the rise of science & technology resulted
degradation and destruction of nature. His attitude towards science &
technology is averse to change, as well as the ideas of scientific and
technological advancement and how they might improve and make
people's lives better. For example, he said that they don’t need
electricity because they have candles and that nights should be dark
for him to see the stars.The old man basically rejects modernisation,
sticking to tradition and old, natural methods of living despite the fact
that new innovations and ideas are much more effective. According to
him, science is no good, has tainted everything, and has affected both
nature and the minds of the people.
3. How do you reconcile the need for technology and the dilemma (s) it
faces?
The most effective way for us to reconcile the need for technology
and the dilemma it faces is to find ways for technology and nature to
coexist without harming each other. For instance, understanding limits
will be crucial in achieving reconciliation. It is important for people to
understand that nature has its own boundaries, which set restrictions on
human interactions with it. The desire for technology should not be the
driving force behind the destruction of nature, but rather the main
instrument for its conservation and preservation. With these strategies,
we may improve the link between nature and the growth of science and
technology, leading to a more wholesome environment for both humans
and the environment in the long run.

4. Should there be an ethics of technology? Explain

Without a doubt, ethics must be upheld in all areas of science and
technology to prevent people from endangering one another and the
environment for our own gain. Technology ethics aid people in creating
moral foundations for the usage of various technologies.Technology's
influence on our society grows as it continues to advance and evolve.
The arrival of new technological developments gives us greater freedom
to act, indicating the necessity of increasing our accountability and
control when utilizing it. Humans would be less likely to invent and do
something harmful to society and the environment if they practiced
ethics.
