There are mind-blowing inventions in science and technology that have made life a lot better in our world today. I wonder how our forefathers managed with a lot of things back then without these technological inventions here and there, which we enjoy today. But then, I believe that somehow they still found a way to live well without it.However, I am glad to have been born in this technological era. Maybe I would have lost my life exactly nine years ago when I had severe complications with my health. Or maybe not. It's all good that when we look left and right, we see amazing science and technological inventions that help us find ease in our daily activities.


Over the years, our standard of living has improved tremendously. It's interesting to see how almost everything we do in this life relates to science and tech, impacting our lives for the better.

How we easily find answers to some of our problems is fascinating, all because of science. Imagine a woman bleeding in the theater, and after some injections, the bleeding stops. I wonder if herbs, 🌿 of which our forefathers mostly depended on those days could stop this type of bleeding, for example. Science has helped us cure complex disease, and prevent fatalities.


There are lots of things to reflect on about how much science and technology have influenced human lives for good, which I may not exhaust explaining in a post;, however, we cannot overlook the fact that sometime, these people go too far with their inventions to the detriment of our lives, whereas there are areas they need to pay close attention to. So without further ado, I will discus areas where I feel that science and technology have gone too far and one other area where their impact hasn't been felt.


The field of science and technology isn't perfect, despite mind-blowing innovations. Scientists are so curious, and in a bid to explore different areas and see the outcome, they cross boundaries. One of the areas where science has gone too far is the case of producing things capable of altering people's bodies, all in the name of evolution and indirectly challenging God. Why the transgender here and there? Why alter God's creature when He said that all things he created are good and perfect? This is obviously challenging God, and it's a concern to be concerned about this innovation.

Nowadays, the movies we watch have gay characters, transgender people, and what have you. It's becoming normal, and many do not see anything wrong with this. How about breast enlargement, ass enlargement, and bum enlargement? All because of science, and to know that these services cost so much is even annoying. The thing is that the health implications will unfold in the future, which is terrible, so why not divert attention to development that would be more beneficial to humanity? If science hadn't made these services available, people wouldn't go for them.


A very important area that scientists should pay more attention to is the area of mental-related disorders.

It hurts me to see mad people moving around the streets without any hope of getting well. Some spend years in the hospital taking routine drugs every day to live and have their sanity. Each time they miss the drug, it becomes a problem. Is there not a way scientists can explore more about the human brain 🧠 and see what could be done to help the mentally affected patient? In a way that they will be totally treated and returned to the way they were before this illness? I know about the management of this illness, but I feel it's possible to have a total cure, not the kind of partial treatment I see today.

Altering human is a thing I don't want to see but some special cases I think it's ok. Suppose someone's face burnt and giving a new face won't be bad. What do you think?

It's not bad in this case...we all know when they go extreme and that's the bad side that shouldn't be advocated for

I once heard an artificial life was created. I don't know how they come about that and how lasting was the life. And also, the scientists acted like God when they were unveiling such.

God is just too merciful. If I were Him, I would have unleashed anger🥲

Oh my goodness 🤭
I didn't even hear this
This guys challenges God alot

There's a reason God is not a man, if not... 😅

I must say Nkem you are a brave lady to talk aboit this issue in the present time when there has been advocacy in the favor of LGBTQ everywhere. Bravo !LADY.

Utilizing the science in the field of medicine the selfish people have created industries that benefit only a group and is destructive for the society at large.

I wonder why some set of people will be advocating evil, like it's tiring!
If only these scientists can think and stop this particular innovation for the good of the society

Thanks for engaging and for the curation

I wonder why some set of people will be advocating evil,

Perhaps they have evil in them. Don't you think they are a source of test for humanity

It would be unfair to say that science hasn't done humanity any good but the truth be told, our grandparents are happier than us because though they lived a crude and primitive life, there wasn't much to worry about in their time than now.

Are they really better than us? I can't imagine being born those days..
Ahh! Hard labor days..lolz

Ahaha. The fact that we love to live a soft life has endangered us the more.

In the aspect of the mentally affected people, I would also say that most of them could have tried these science and technology equipment but none work, why? Because it isn't ordinary but some forces behind them. If you must know, there is power that these scientists cannot even solve. Lol

When it comes to these advancements, they have made things easier but they keep coming up with innovations to challenge God in the areas you have mentioned like breast enlargement, ass enlargement, etc. If these scientists do not create them, no one would know these things exist. So, in that part, they are to be blamed for misleading the creations God has created.

That's right about the mentally affected patient however some of them are ordinary.. just a mental disorder..I am of the opinion that scientists Shou explore more on this

Yes, they really should.

Going that far as investing technologies that s hance alterations and enhancement of human body parts is very insensitive. Like you said, there are so many mentally disabled in the stress and there is no field of science that have come with an invention of proferring a permanent solution to their disabilities. Why science are trying in their different fields, there are indeed areas that need ethical questions and considerations.

Yea .some of areas they are exploring are quite insensitive
I hope they divert their energy to something more better
Thanks for engaging 🥰

Sincerely, science has done a lot of good things that have made life more better and easier.

Nowadays, the movies we watch have gay characters, transgender people, and what have you. It's becoming normal, and many do not see anything wrong with this. How about breast enlargement, ass enlargement, and bum enlargement.

One thing that worries me about this is that, the more we see them the faster we get use to them and they become the order of the day.

Haha 😆😆😂
Sure... and it's worrisome oo

Our four fathers were innocent not like us that our eyes have tear 😂 That's why, even with herbs, they were able to cure or solve most of their problems. Scientist has really been helpful inventing one good thing or the other. Though some are not helping matters 😂

Haha..our eyes tear oo no be small
May God show us mercy small

Science has done a lot. Many couples had attributed the recurring deaths of their infants to some evil forces. Science came and gave explanation about genotype. It became obvious that those children died mostly due to sickle cell. Today, two people planning to marry have to check their genotypes compatibility before going ahead. We have many more heartwarming developments by science.

On the issue of going too, I pray that scientific innovation doesn't end the world one day. Many things are being taken to the extreme.

Science is forever growing and I believe that more is yet to be achieved in curing mental illnesses. Bravo, @nkemakonam89.

That's a great feedback from you
The issue of genotype is one that science helped the world again amongst others
It's just worrisome when they go extreme

Thanks for visiting my awesome dreemer😃😃🥰🥰

Individual autonomy should be respected, and no one has the right to govern the bodies, choices, and actions of others, provided they do not cause harm. Arguments rooted in religious beliefs hold no weight in this context, as they can be deconstructed and revealed to be logically unsound. I get you're expressing your worry, but there is also a concern out there that there are attempts to enforce personal moral standards, derived from a particular religion, upon those who may not share the same beliefs.

Until then, I hope to see changes

Thanks so much for engaging 🥰
