What's so great about science and Tecnology?

Question

1) The earth is almost doomed with "Global warming"

2) There is someone around the world sitting with his finger on the button that sets off a nuke.

3) Todays scientists are noted for stealing ideas and then patenting them. The "Basmathie" rice saga is such an example.

4) Todays scientists are noted for changing products to such a point that you cannot get spares when your product brakes down or when you want to upgrade them. They do not want you to repair them but they want you to buy a new one so that they could make money.

Answer 1

Saving lives

Finding cures for cancer and other diseases

Cleaner burning fuels

Entertainment

ETC., ETC., ETC.!!!

You are just focusing on the negatives...

Answer 2

1) I laughed.

2) No there's not, if anything world leaders are trying to keep away from that button.  Why?  Common sense, press the button and you basically cause the end for humanity as we know it.  They're not sadistic, evil idiots.  Besides, the threat of nuclear weapons keeps people on their toes and has prevented countries targeting other countries like the USA millions of times.

3) No one's perfect, I'm sure you've done some wrong doings in your life.  But the same scientists create vaccines for the flu every year.  

4) It's called a business, the point is to make money and to keep a profit.  And if it were that way, why are so many people healthy and happy?  I'd choose that over having no system at all then being sick.

Proof, please.
