todays world
Modern technology has its effects on the life of people. Like every other thing the modern technology serves us in both ways: good and bad. On one hand modern technology has made things much easier than they really were and on the other hand they have caused some of the serious problems for human beings. Technology in one way or another is needed. Industrial society cannot be reformed in favor of freedom in that modern technology is a unified system in which all parts are dependent on one another. You can't get rid of the "bad" parts of technology and retain only the "good" parts. Taking modern medicine, for example. Progress in medical science depends on progress in chemistry, physics, biology, computer science and other fields. Advanced medical treatments require expensive, high-tech equipment that can be made available only by a technologically progressive, economically rich society. Clearly you can't have much progress in medicine without the whole technological system and everything that goes with it. The temptation presented by the immense power of biotechnology is irresistible, especially since to the majority of people many of its applications will seem obviously and unequivocally good (eliminating physical and mental diseases, giving people the abilities they need to get along in today's world).
