SOCIETY AND
TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 2014
Technology
is an essential part of our society and few people can imagine living without
it. We achieve a lot through the use of technology. It means more freedom and
choices for people but at the same time we have to consider the social
imbalance and posible loss of moral and social values.
Development
and use of technology is about making smart choices for the future. We should
not develop or use technology because of itself, but because it adds value to
society and simplifies human life.
