Notion - Idea of progress

Mostly, people see progress only in improvment, but that's not the reality. First of all, I would like to define the term of « Idee of progress », which can be defined as a change, positively or negatively in several domains. We are now going to ask ourselves how does science lead to the change in living conditions. We are going to talk about medecin progress, technology progress and finally theirs limits.

Medecin improvment is really important. Nowaday, we can live longer, thanks to the appearance of new medical machines, new medical devices that afford us to detect deseases, or cancer. We can take the example of Oscar Pistorius who had an accident, he was amputated below the knees when he was young. He was operated, with the recent medecin, and so was able to have prosthetic legs, to walk and run. So it's like we were more and more protected about everything. We can talk about robots too, it fits into my two first parts but I think I have to talk about it here. Indeed, robots are increasingly improved. For example, the « Da Vinci chirugical system » which afford us to fix deseases and another medical problems by remote control. This fact allows medecin to be better, and so there will be less mistakes if the robots are well programmed, because they are automatics and developped by amazing scientists.

But there are other kinds of progress, like important progress in technology too. It's funnier, because with all the high-tech progress we can do things easier, like control our homes only with our phone (we can take the example of Google Home which can control light, TV, etc). It's more convenient. We can geolocate our car if needed, like if someone carjacked us (as we know in Africa) or if we forgot it somewhere.So it can help us in the everyday life. Technology is wifi too. If you are walking in the street, you have the wifi everywhere, and if it's necessary you can use it. If you want to look up something, you can. You want to find informations, you can (with the Google progress there are 30 billions of webpage). Whereever you are, you can use the wifi. So life is easier with this kind of progress, but is still complicated.

Indeed, we can talk about the appearance of the robot, in the case of the medecin progress. It causes the loss of job, so there are less people who work and it also disrupted the economy because of the medecin job (one of the best paid and necesary) disappear. But we have also to pay attention to robots, because they can be dangerous. Effectively, we can talk about the deep learning which is an automatic learning method. Of course, the robots are continually perfected, and they will probably get the upper hand on the whole world if the deep learning continues to be so developped.

The problem with technology is that it is everywhere, with computer, TV, and above all : the phone. Indeed, everybody has a phone, young people, old people, everybody. The smartphone keeps improving, and everybody wants the last one. They are also nonstop on their phone, and we can say that the phone brings us closer to those who are far away, and keeps us away from those who are close. Another problem of the technology is that, with the Internet progress, we are facing site creation, illegal site creation, like with the deepweb, an invisible web with really illegal sites where we can find
