PART I
What would this world be without Edison? Will we live in darkness? Yet, with Einstein, we went through a period of darkness, where nuclear bomb annihilated two cities not too far from us. Science; is it a bliss, or a curse?
On a lighter note, Shakespeare taught us that all that glitters is not gold, and henceforth, we should, as adage so often warned us, that books should never be judged by its covers; the content is what matters. Yet, so many people, despite the advice told since days of yore, nonetheless succumbed into fallacy. Well, even Einstein, a Scientist, has not the obtuseness of a commoner, to say, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
The society of today has much reached a consensus that a progress, relative to the past, which may not even be too distant, has indeed happened; anyone basing his conclusion on his prima facie observation of today's technology would probably attest to it. Yes, we may have progressed with respect to the technological arena, but have we done likewise as a basic human being? At the very least, even humanity does not stride in tandem with the Science, does it remain constant? Or, much to anyone's horror, has it regressed?
This, I am not so sure. Are you?
