High Technology and Human Development
Some basic premises – often fashioned by leaders and supported by the led – exercise the collective conscience of the led in so far as they stimulate a willed development. The development is usually superior but not necessarily civilized. The premises in question are of this form: “Our level of technological advancement is second to none. Upon reaching this level, we also have to prepare our society for peace, and to guarantee the peace, technology must be revised to foster the policy of war.” Technological advancement that is pushed in this direction sets a dangerous precedent for other societies that fear a threat to their respective sovereignties. They are pushed to also foster a war technology.
In the domain of civilization, this mode of development is not praiseworthy, nor is it morally justifiable. Since it is not morally justifiable, it is socially irresponsible. An inspection of the premises will reveal that it is the last one that poses a problem. The last premise is the conclusion of two preceding premises but is not in any way logically deduced. What it shows is a passionately deduced conclusion, and being so, it fails to be reckoned as a conclusion from a rationally prepared mind, at least at the time at which it was deduced.

While time passed by methods such as horns became a means of communication. But since them periods, there has been a lot of development and with that came the more advanced technologies such as radio, phone, television and the internet.
Businesses would be lost without the current technological advancements and a lot of companies would cease to exist. But this is not the only benefit that telecommunications can bring. With these advancements also comes science, without telecommunications, we would be unable to fly with planes and helicopters or effectively navigate in the seas. Besides this space travel would be near to impossible to achieve.
