Better Things?

“Men travel faster now, but I do not know if they go to better things.” Technology no doubt brought us convenience. We get to communicate faster through telephones, emails, instant messages and even Facebook. We get to travel faster by cars, bikes, high speed rails, and airplanes. However, are we going in the direction we want? Machine guns kill people in streaks, about 300 combo made every time (skilled user that is). Nuclear bombs made mankind suffer from radioactive exposure. So does the nuclear power plants explosion in Japan. People mutate, and I strongly doubt that is where our past want our future to lie. People use to live simple. Now we need to worry all the backfiring of nature from our "progress".  Global warming, climate change, air, water, soil pollution, animal extinction.  While we enjoy the good side, we suffer from the impacts. Using technology sure takes us faster from places to places, but, is the destination the place we want? That is the question we should think about.
