Pop Technologies created with great intentions but ends up causing harm

Postby Netherrealmer » 28 Jan 2020, 11:53

These technologies are created with good intentions but things went wrong. They caused more harm that the help they originally offered. I hope you will enjoy reading the product of my intensive research.


Plastic bags- They are originally created to save trees? Why? People use to use Paper bags on grocery shopping. It is invented by Swedish inventor Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin. When he created them his intention is for you to clean them after use so you can use them again. This is the very first plastic bag in existence:

The original plastic bag is more durable since people are suppose to save them and reuse them but we know this plastic bag leads to single use plastics and the whole world is having a plastic trash crisis. Who would have thought that the Paper bags is actually more environmentally friendly at the end of the day.


Cocaine- this highly addictive and mentally ruining drug is originally created to cure toothaches. Here is an old advertisement about cocaine.

Image Did you notice some children on this 1800's ad? Yes it is originally a product that can be bought by the whole family from Dad, to mom to their youngest daughter Susie. This highly dangerous drug was created to cure toothache. I heard some dentists are still legally allowed to own cocaine. Imagine this is originally use for dentistry but it is now being abused by many people despite of the harms cause to the body.

Dark Web
- It is originally created to have a side of the internet where you can have privacy and not be spied by some malicious hackers and dictatorial internet. Now it is a place where people make illegal transactions from drugs, to organ trade to Child pornography. Its main intention was to protect you from spywares, spammers and hackers and now it has been used for many illegal things.

Social media-
Its originally created to connect friends, families who are away from each other and to meet people from around the world. Now it is being used for malicious political propaganda, fake news and history revisionism.[code][/code] Now thanks to social media, Terrorist groups finds a new way to recruit members. Now we have parents who doesn't believe in vaccination which ends up killing their children. Also now on this new Millennium's new decade, we have people who believes the Earth is flat. Also how about those parents who lets Elsagate videos to babysit their children . Cyberbullying also became a huge epidemic that causes some people to commit suicide. It will take me a multiple page thesis to list down all the problems social media had caused. So I will stop writing right here.

I know social networks have benefits, As a matter of fact, I am enjoying some of those benefits but I won't deny all the harm it cause to society. It is a double edged sword after all.

What a great history lesson! I remember when baby bottles were glass. Then they switched to plastic.

At least those plastic baby bottles are reusable and not disposable. It is the disposable plastics that caused a lot of harm.

I agree with social media. And I guess everything has its own pros and cons and we just have to know how to use it responsibly. Social Media negatively affects our relationships with loved ones, too. It has been replacing special moments with them, etc

Imagine a cocaine intentionally made for toothache now become illicit drug. Though cocaine is a very powerful analgesic i.e pain reliever. Is just that people has abused it that why is now a control drug and anyone found with it will be prosecuted

I will comment on the drugs. I learnt that cocaine was used in small quantities in drugs to cure headaches and body pains, but obviously now is being abused. I think this is a part of mankind, to find out how to turn to bad what is being used for good.

I'm afraid that cryptocurrency was created with great intentions but might cause harm. I am reading articles that say mining bitcoin is having a bad impact on our environment. It uses too much energy.

As I was very concerned I began discussing this topic with others. Different people were able to put a positive spin on cryptocurrency mining. It even made think back to the days when the first computers used to take up an entire room. Cryptocurrency is technology and technology evolves.

If all money are crypto, there will be no more need to mine gold and nickel. Mining is more bad for the environment

Mining is bad for the environment? Which mining? Now they claim bitcoin mining is bad for the environment. So now we have both types of mining that are bad for the environment. But we are not going to stop doing either one, we? I often wonder what this world will look like in the year 3000. But I'm not going to be around to see it.

That's not going to stop, no matter how bad it is. I really think those movies about an apocalypse are NOT science fiction. That will be our world one day.

facts about cocaine and the dark web are really interesting. Plastic did manage to save trees but when people started throwing it instead of reusing, plastc created problems.

It became a bigger problem because sea turtles are eating them instead of Jelly fish. That increased the population of the very dangerous box jellyfish because plastic kills their predators. Crown of thorns starfishes are also killing coral reefs because of the shortage of sea turtles.

We use those mentioned technologies irresponsibly, thereby we reap what we sow.

Bamboo is now seen as a better alternative source of paper because they grow fast. They should have discovered making paper from bamboo earlier instead of mass producing plastic.
