How does scientific progress affect mankind?

In early days man depended mostly on nature for his needs. He cultivated land for agriculture and used trees and animals for his needs.But when industrialization began man wanted more supply for more production(goods).Man started to think for the alternative ways. In due course many things like modern means of transportation,communication etc came into picture.This made ones life very easy.As years passed by population increased.Scientists started to research on crops to satisfy the food needs of the increasing population.Revolution in medicine and biology decreased the deaths of people .Many new drugs were discovered to cure the diseases. Many new technologies were invented.Man even got into the moon.Man made artificial satellites to discover new facts about the universe.He made many experiments on nucleus of different atoms.He made many experiments that were strong enough to destroy even the earth if they failed.
These scientific inventions had disadvantages too. The Modern means of transport led to the pollution of air and water. Increase in the usage of chemicals to the crops led to land pollution.Globalwarming,acidic rains,depletion of ozone layer are some of the examples of its consequences. We are destroying not only our resources but also of many other organisms.
Now if we think to stop all the scientific progress,then it is hard to live as science has become an integrated part in our day to day lives.But if not ,all the organisms lives are at stake.So what to do?
In my view one must always implement alternative ways to avoid the ill effects of any scientific progress or tools.Every scientific experiment has two sides advantages and disadvantages.So one must always make effective use of our day to day tools.Every individual must feel the responsibility to keep our earth safe to live in.

  1. A good effort! I liked the clarity and coherence in your writing. You used words judiciously. It is pretty readable, and one may enjoy reading it. Try to focus on the use of articles (a/an, the).

  7. the first question was
    did man really land on the moon?and the answer is yes neil armstrong was the first person to land on the moon.
    The below article explains my fact.
    Neil Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) and Buzz Aldrin (born January 20, 1930) were the first humans to land on the Moon. Neil Alden Armstrong was first to set foot on the Moon, and Buzz Aldrin was the second to set foot on the Moon, on July 20, 1969.

    They both landed on the Moon together in the Lunar Module Eagle, during the Apollo 11 mission. There was a third astronaut on the mission, who stayed on the orbiter and did not board the Lunar Module. That man was Michael Collins (born October 31, 1930).

  8. The second question was:
    what were those experiments that could destroy the earth itself ?
    I can give an example of big bang theory experiment which was held in the last year.Many people opposed this experiment as it led to destruction of the earth if there was any minute failure .

  9. i could not understand clearly what was the third question.But i never mentioned in my article that man should stop all the scientific
    progress but i said that he should find other ways in order to save earth.I just mentioned what all the things are we doing to make our lives complicated.My article just gives a light on the problems created by mankind.

  10. Oh ! Little miss Einstein i was saying in the first question that your sentence formation was wrong. 'Man can land on the moon' but not 'into' it. Duh.

    Next point is that earth is a small planet not a star or any other large cosmic mass like neutron star or super-giant stars.wen stars die they explode and create hugest of explosions possible in universe. Which earth can't do, for it is a very little planet, as all those people's brain who said that earth will explode.

    The third question was that "How can possibly an average man even survive without using his technology?"
    Hope you'll be able to cathch my english better next time. all the best.
