UC Chimes: Something right

With well advanced technology and knowledge, it should not be that difficult to figure out the cause of problems nowadays.

With well advanced technology and knowledge, it should not be that difficult to figure out the cause of problems nowadays. Especially in medical fields, it is known that there is almost ninety-nine percent assurances to find out the cause of diseases although there is still way lower percentage of finding out the methods of cure and recovery. Experts and professionals sometimes accurately figure out the exact cause of problems when misfortunes and accidents have happened. It is good, something right!

Quite often I enjoy solving a problem, usually searching for information, through the internet. Indeed the internet is amazing technology! It provides almost all kinds of information and knowledge that most people might want to have. Of course sometimes it gives too much or unnecessary information. But whenever I use it, I appreciate it. It is good, something right!

Nevertheless with these immense advantages and benefits of modern technology, so often the people who are smart and probably well educated but twisted and crooked mind misuse them for wrong purposes only for their own selfish benefits. Through hacking or manipulating computer programs, they take out private and secret information and use it to harm and damage others in order to gain what they want. It is bad, something wrong!

Thus when good and useful tools are used by wrong hands for wrong purposes, they become destructive and dangerous monsters to hurt and harm people who mean nothing to them. It is bad, something wrong.

Therefore it is obvious that no matter what useful and smart technology it may be, depending on how and by whom it is used, it will bring out completely opposite results from what was originally intended; just as a sharp knife in a doctor's hand is used to save life but in a robber's to harm. A great irony today is that too often smart people do stupid things with such useful and efficient technology. That is sad, something wrong.

The good news is that everyone can enjoy their life by continuously choosing and doing something right and good with the most advanced and developed technology and knowledge. Something right or something wrong; it seems more likely to depend on each one's mind control. "One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one whose temper is controlled than one who captures a city" (Proverbs 16:32).
