Please write down your response after reading the paragraphs. (At least 5 sentences long, 150-200 words.)
I do believe human innovation is gradually becoming depending on technology. However, I don’t think this is a major issue. There might be some setbacks but overall the advancement of technology allows scientists to attack the problems and find solutions to them. Many years ago, a lot of the health problems didn’t have treatment to them because there were no medicine and the treatment was based on home remedies. After technology, there was a huge improvement in the treatment of these diseases or health problems. Therefore, I don’t think that it is totally wrong for human innovation to become depending on technology.
The TED talk was very interesting. The organ chip is a very innovative idea and I think it’s pretty cool how the concept was built. That being said, I don’t believe that it is wrong to create something with technology if it aids in the treatment for others. However, there should be a fine line. There are concerns of ethics and morals in regards to that. No technology should be used to manipulate things for the sake of business or money if it results in the harm of others.
Explanation / Answer
There has been an exponential rise in technological advancements especially in the past two decades. These advancements are more pronounced in the field of healthcare. The emergence of artificial intelligence and use of organ chips will be the next breaking point in the field. This will bring down the healthcare cost and also significantly improve the patient care as their waiting time to get live donors will be reduced. Therefore innovations like these should be encouraged as long as these technologies are used in a more ethical way rather than for the sake of business or money.
