Continued progress in advanced technology is not necessary. Already the technical progress in our
world has caused severe pollution in the air and in the water. Although the technical progress in previous
years has been helpful, recent technology has significantly increased pollution. Another reason to stop
technical progress is that many inventions which were developed for good causes are now also used for
powerful weapons to have been found have serious side effects. For example, pesticide put inside
particle boards to prevent termites has now is found to be toxic to human life. Technology does not
always bring good effects; for example, computers do much work faster than man, but then man loses
his job to a machine. Because no man can guarantee that technology will have only good effects and
will be used only for the benefit of man, we should delay the continued development of technology.
