Question

How can technology be used for human welfare?

Answer 1

1. Technology can be used to fulfil the basic needs of human life, like food, clothing, shelter and education. E.g. Even in adverse conditions, using technology for farming can produce huge yields. A prime example of this is agriculture in Israel.
2. Also, with the help of technology, the production of clothes will be done at a low cost, so that affordable clothes can be used by people from all walks of life.
3. Apart from this, due to the technology used for housing construction, shelter can be provided according to the climate and natural structure. E.g. Japan, a country in the earthquake-prone region, has different types of light-weight houses to withstand frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
4. Most importantly, as education is the need of the hour for human welfare, technology has made it possible to deliver education to homes with the help of satellites. For example, India. The attempt to bring education to people with the help of the "EduSat" satellite has been successful.
