In a borderless world, all the information is at the fingertips.
Science and technology leads us to a change of life. Progress can not
be denied. However, in the meantime, there are also denying the
impact of science and technology. Various conclusions made by
individuals on the basis of observations about the impact of science
and technology either advances or even lead to the destruction of the
universe.
There is no denying that science and technology have importance in
the development of the global community. But it is also undeniable
have an adverse effect on the country's development, including
environmental and social problems. All this can not be avoided
because sometimes people are busy pursuing development and
sophistication even forget the adverse effects that would happen. All
discoveries and inventions in science and technology that was born of
the human mind sometimes misses the real purpose for not according to
the principles outlined by Islam. Not surprisingly, many are now
employing science and technology are also invited to harm if the
boundaries of exploration science does not conform to what Islam has
to say.
Now, the creation of a fairly sophisticated human findings in
defense technology capable of protecting the country from enemy
attack. Various forms of defense equipment from weapons to fight
until the equipment also follow the progress of science and
technology. From one angle, it may be good for the country but if he
thinks might be more consequences resulting from the use of advanced
tools of science and technology progress results. Ever wondered, that
the sophistication of the tools of war can lead to destruction of the
world including the environment and also the many souls who perished
own deck of human greed. For example, the effects of the use of bombs
or guns can destroy the environment. Even just to test the ability of
a creation, sometimes it legislate to environmental degradation as
leading to environmental pollution. Meanwhile, a high level of
expertise and sophisticated equipment needed to build its own nuclear
bomb.
Now the control of radioactive materials actually very loose as
the increasingly widespread practice. The effects of a dirty bomb
explosion might not be as powerful as a nuclear bomb but can spread
radioactive materials and radiation led to a wider area. Of course it
affects the psychology of the people who lack knowledge about
radiation safety. Maybe he also created confusion and fear that will
affect the activities of a society. Cleaning business areas
contaminated with radiation is also costly and involves high labor
intensive and sophisticated equipment. Is not it will affect the
public order, causing the country's economic downturn but also spread
via wind and air pressure to bordering countries. These effects were
also feared by many for abuse advancement of existing technologies.
The rapidly evolving information technology to this day allows all
people to information so easily. Various exploration information can
be obtained without any restriction. By using information and
communication technology, the wide open road preaching to deliver
something useful to society. Yet despite the sophistication and
technological advantages now, sticking a malignancy that is rarely
thought as it arises unnoticed. Many of our young men and women
affected by edge information technology. Its impact on the social
development of our generation too big where they are preoccupied with
the technology so that ignores moral values. For example, the
internet is a storehouse of knowledge, but sometimes youngsters
abusing its advantages by visiting our Web sites were obscene and
immoral. This will affect the minds of these people and will damage
the development of their nafs.
Advances in information technology also have adverse effects when
now there were the invasion of the information referred to as
"hackers" in a country where confidential information can
be hacked easily. Through the latest technology, the modification of
an image can be made. Sometimes it gives a bad impression because it
can cause fitnah.
Biotechnology now propel the country towards development. Food
engineering field through the latest technology capable of producing
genetic modification of food (Genetically Modified Food) which
features best as durable, sleek and refined, simple, inexpensive and
increase crop production such as brown rice, tomato and chilli. Food
produced is the same but have different properties that are included
with various combinations of the genes of other organisms. What is
the question of genetic resources used to produce custom food is
feared than the things that are prohibited by legislation. GMF also
affects human health because they contain impurities (allergen) is
unknown adverse effects.
The issue of cloning warm attention of all parties. The results of
technological advances capable of transferring genetic of one
organism to organism. This will produce an organism similar to that
of the parent. This issue is somewhat worrying for fear of being
abused by certain parties for the purpose of human cloning. It is too
deviated from the path of true religion. Similarly, the technology
"stem cell" that many advantages in helping to overcome
various diseases. But what is feared that if the use of "embryonic
stem cell" would also be misused for human cloning.
As a result of advances in science and technology is now indeed
many advantages besides leading to an embedded also disadvantages.
The crux of any progress must be based on Islamic values and in
accordance with the exploration of the limits of science that has
been set. Then progress and development we achieve undistorted and
not harmful to the community because sometimes the ugliness we
actually created it.
