Science and Technology

The development and constant improvement of technology has brought about much convenience in our daily lives. This has also brought us much power to communicate efficiently and effectively across boarders. However, there are many people who abuse the authority of usage of the Internet and decides to hack and steal information from a corporation. A good example would be the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, who hacked into the secure network of various countries' government and reposting the confidential information onto the Internet. Hence, it clearly illustrates that the knowledge of science and technology, when fallen into the wrong hands, may have unimaginable consequences. "With great power comes great responsibility". This raises the issue of safety and dangers of the modern technology. With knowledge of mass destruction, countries have become arrogant and complacent, thus undermining world peace and security that the United Nations have been fighting for all this while. Hence, it is important to be responsible for one's actions if one is heavily armed.
