Technology

In continuation to the anime that I have talk about earlier - Full Metal Alchemist. The stories talk about certain issues which I think that can be applied to the society. For example in the anime, they actually talk about using “sorcery” to improve human lives (supposedly). However, there comes the question whether the use of sorcery improves lives or it actually degrades/ destroys life.

When I ponder about it, I feel that in the anime, “sorcery” is analogous to technology in our life. So is technology improving our life? Or is it destroying it? I believe many people out there will think that technology improves our lives. I myself believe to a certain degree also. But I feel that with the advance in technology, human greed and desires also increases. And I feel that the human world has become so much complicated.

I will pose 2 questions to end with.

1) When/how will the advancement of technology be sufficient?
2) Since the technology is so “advance” now, do you still have any desires?
