Technology is a general term for the processes by which human beings fashion tools and machines to increase their control and understanding of the material environment. In fact, this is in direct pursuance of God’s direction at creation Genesis 1: 26 -30.
Many historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Technological innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increases geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive …show more content…
Since the account of creation man have evolved mechanisms to control its material environment. Early technologies involve the use of stones, bones and animal materials for agricultural purpose as well as for the provision of shelter. Even the bible record that Tubal Cain was an instructor in the use of brass (alloy of zinc and copper) Gen 4: 21 -22. These breakthroughs have continued at astronomical rates from primitive tools to sophisticated ones.
In fact, Herb Brody said “You get up in the morning and put on your glasses, snap on the radio, and grab the morning paper. Already you have directly benefited from three of the greatest inventions of the last 1,000 years: the glass lens, wireless communications, and the printing press. Later you ride the subway to work, where you use a computer and make telephone calls—three more developments made possible by scientific breakthroughs during the last …show more content…
Technology that should have been instrumental in the promotion of godliness has been used as means of promoting unrighteousness and ungodliness “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. (Gen
