I need some technological advances or scientific advancements that have done more harm than good.?

Question

I need the the technological advances and reasons why they have done more harm than good.

thanks.

Answer 1

E=MC squared.  Not what Einstein planned.

Answer 2

When is understanding something worse than not understanding it?  I think the only thing that qualifies is when Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Answer 3

There aren't any.

Answer 4

Any answer is strictly a matter of opinion.  Technology or science that manifestly does more harm than good really never gets heard of.  People don't adopt such 'advancements'.    Look at the first answer.  Computers and Cars?  Clearly they are vastly more beneficial than harmful, otherwise there would be no market for them, instead of billions in use.

But here is one thing I can think of that people do like that are clearly more harmful than beneficial.

Cigarettes - The only "good" they provide is enjoyment by the smoker.  The downside is disease, shortened lives, wrinkled skin, unpleasant odor, expensive and addictive.

Answer 5

Computers- They are a library of pictures and information that young children do not need to be exposed to. Also kids these days spend there lives on the computer instead of being active.

Cars- They are polluting our environment and are causing the ozone layer to disintegrate. Also sitting in trafic has added stress to peoples lives.
