In our society today, the continued advance of technology will hurt more than it will help; the progress of technology is generally bad. The main reason the advancements are bad is because although the new advancements can help protect our country, they can also help destroy our country. Even though some people use technology for good, just as many people, if not more, use it for bad reasons, such as terrorists and other enemies. Most people want to advance technology to help us in future wars and conflicts; however, the same advances can also lead to advantages for our enemies. Furthermore, the more advanced technology becomes, the lazier humans become. We rely on technology to do everything for us, and humans have lost their hard work ethic and rugged individualism from their ancestors who founded America.
