Future of Technology for Human Wellbeing: 
Future is an
unknown reality, which is even beyond science and technology. Though
from the past decades there is a great leap in the field of technology in
the form of smart phones, cloud computing, multi-touch tablets etc.
Future technology emphasises human expectations or unforeseen wishes
and likewise it will be completely and essentially be different with high￾tech and cutting-edge technology. Here, the main thought process is
about the future aspect of technology that is how the future technology
will look like? But off course future technology is not inseparable from
the present life and thus, it largely focuses on implementing the solution
solving the real-time issues. Therefore, in order to understand the many
ways in which technology will impact international development in the
future, we must first broaden and deepen our individual and collective
understanding of the range of possibilities (Rockefeller Foundation &
Global Business Network,May 2010).
Today, computers are taking over the works of human and it
does appear that we are entering into a new phase of industrial
revolution. This revolutionary phase can be termed as origin of
disruptive technologies that displace older technologies and enable
radically new generations of existing products and processes to take over.
They can also enable whole new classes of products not previously
feasible (Arnall ,July 2013). With this new phase of technology revolution
one of the most burning truth is that we are far better off than we were Each of the technology discussed above are used either in
isolation or in combination and each technology has its own
complexities and significant implication upon the society and towards
scientific development. But from the other point of view with bless of
scientific development the society also suffers with various negative side
effects with each forwarded steps of technology, which, are leading to
decreasing status of well-being.
Technological Afflictions versus Well-Being: Today with the
proliferation of the more and more advance technologies we are able to
overcome various obstacles of time and space. Technology has provided
number of tools and machines which can be used to gain an
understanding of many unknown entities, meeting people over the
world, maintain and strengthening family relation, effective
communication and also help us to speed up the socialization process.
But, if the impact of technology are to be examined from other point of
view, technological advancement has cause people distracted, overly
stressed and increasingly isolated. Today, technological affliction has
challenged the real meaning of well-being. It has its impact on all the
spheres of human existence. On the negative sight technological
advancement leads to:
Social isolation- as people are now characterised by lack of
normal day-to-day communication as most of them busy listing songs
from the iPods and staring at the screens of latest mobile devices even if
we are surrounded by the people.
Depression- which comes due to lack of human contact,
overeating and lack of exercise and seating hour-to hour and getting
involved with the internet surfing and not at all bothering about the
family relation and friends, ultimately leading to conflict and anxiety
giving pathway to depression.
Unemployment- is one of the most dangerous effects of the
technological development. With the evolution of sophisticated
software’s and rapid mechanization process the labour-displacement has
became a major criteria in today’s scenario. For instance due to
introduction of computers in the banking sector of India, many
employees lost their jobs and even taken voluntary retirement due to lack
of knowledge and computer skills.
Social Networking Horror activities have increased a lot such
as stealing of identity, hacking of social profiles, and threat to personal
privacy that is Venerable to personal information which can go to the
wrong hands and can lead to embracing moments, social engineering
attacks, etc. All this basically proves challenge for well-being created by
the technological development.
Social disputes the dispute comes in the form of social
predicament especially for the young generation because as people do
the job not only to earn money but also for a specific purpose and
maintain a social decorum. But today, most of the task is done by the
computer which has lead to the computerization of manual labour, which raises the question what humans are going to do. This
computerization of labour has lead to the situation of income inequality
which threatens social stability. In short technological development is
characterised by rise of production and fall of employment and stagnated
household income.
Increasing Elevated Exasperation among the children
because of too much indulge in the internet games and texting. These
activities have affected their psyche negatively, consequently leading to
increased frustration. Now they get frustrated whenever they are asked
to do anything while playing games or using internet. For instance, when
they are asked to take the part in household activities they get furious
instantly. This behaviour has shattered many parent-children
relationships.
Deteriorated Patience- Patience is a very precious virtue and its
scarcity could deteriorate a person’s Will. Determination is a necessity
that comes with patience and without it no individual can survive the
hardships of life. According to studies, tolerance among the people is
vanishing. For example, often frustration occurs while surfing the net
and the page takes time to load for slow connectivity.
centuries ago, which was characterised as no or less electricity, low levelof medical instruments, low life expectancy rate etc. Slowly, however,
progress was made and time has come when computers are like human
doing half of the day-to-day task. Though, there is nearly universal
agreement among modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) professionals that
AI falls short of human capabilities in some critical sense, even though
AI algorithms have beaten humans in many specific domains like chess
which is considered epitome of intelligence until Deep Blue won the
world championship from Kasparov-but even these researchers agree
that something important is missing from the modern AI (Bostrom. &
Yudkowsky. 2011). Even according to Professor Stephen Hawkins, the
technological inventions are the need of the era. He suggested that it was
almost certain that a disaster such as nuclear war or global warming
would obliterate the planet earth within thousand years, so it is essential
we colonise the space. He stressed on the believe that over the next 100
years with the increasing technological innovation it is not far away that
we will eventually establish self-sustaining colonies on Mars. He also
claimed that finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe would be
the biggest scientific discovery ever.
Ongoing futuristic predictions in the field of technology can dish
out some exciting or scary visions for the future of machines and science
that either enhance or replace the products and activities that is near and
dear to us. Forecasting the future of technology, computer companies
are now encouraging the development of Zero-size Intelligence (a tiny
sized computing chip in a small package), Space Exploration (Moon,
Mars and more), Neurohacking (reading people’s mind through
machines), and Universal Translators (putting the end of global language
confusion by reuniting them with one language) etc. So, the answer to
our technological dilemma about what will be the future technological
upcoming innovation should not be more surprising. While the past
favoured those who could retain and process information efficiently, the
future belongs to those who can imagine a better world and work with
others to make it happen.
Conclusion: It is apparent form the above rationalization that
technology has come a long way and yet to be more revolutionised for
achieving the ultimate aim of human well being. May be it is good or
maybe it is bad, but just as the benefits are real so as the potential cost.
Therefore, designing technology and avoiding negative outcome depend
mainly on the complete understanding of the limit and pattern of usagethough which the technology influence the social interaction and
psychological well-being. Technological filtration within the social
system has lead to evolvement of various luxury and comfort products
which has played an important role to enrich our sense of execution of
specific job. With the changes developed within the technology, the
factors leading towards greater well-being has also changed, therefore the
diffusion of technology with the circle of well-being can contribute
towards a better social system. Various futuristic prediction are discussed
to over view and understand the current benchmark activities going
within the technological field that can lead to change of human life over
the time.
The above discussion also highlighted the issue of concern
occurred due to the technology and its growing size. These concerning
issues are very much rising questions on whether the technology really
leads to well-being with the increased rate of frustration, stress and anger
due to the feeling of isolation from the social surrounding and thus,
proving an obstacle for achieving the ultimate happiness. However,
within the base line it can be generalised that technology given us a new
direction and accordingly has positive influence around the world.
