Scientists are doing more harm than good.
Albert Einstein, supposedly the greatest man who has ever lived, is one of the inventors of the atomic bomb. I have a problem with people being praised for being destructive.
Who invented dynamite? Scientists. Who created pesticides? Scientists. Agent orange, HFCS, and drugs like PCP? Science started it all.
Some scientific ideas may sound nice, but it is usually to correct their own problems. Cancer is the product of asbestos, cell phone radiation, chemicals, etc. Diabetes happens mostly with people who eat too much sugar, which wasn't cheaply available until the geeks invented HFCS.
It's about time we humans stop trying to be some "dominant" species. Thanks to our globalized society, it is easy for a disease to spread from one person to the whole world in less than a month, assuming someone catches it and rides a plane the next day. We are also causing the extinction of many animals and destroying our only home, Earth. And people simply suggest to push it all under the bed and find a new home in space.
People are wasting resources in space travel (which does nothing more than let geeks fulfill their fantasies), ocean exploration (which isn't even our ecosystem, plus many of the animals down there are brought up for experimentation), and discovering new elements, many of which last just 1 millisecond. And why should it matter what shape the Earth is, what we're made of, or where we came from? Doesn't affect me the slightest. It would be nice to see that money be spent on, say, children in Africa.
Survival of the fittest helps ensure that ideal traits get passed down to the next generation, but science has allowed us to fool the system, so our children will not be more robust. The invention of braces has made it so having straight-tooth genes no longer matters. Eyeglasses, contacts, LASIK, etc., have allowed people with bad eyes to survive and compete. This may SOUND like a good thing, until you realize it means poor vision and crooked teeth will never be eliminated from the gene pool. If all this technology failed, humanity is doomed.

Answer:
Technology and science have done more harm than good.There is no doubt that science and technology have had an impact on our lives. There are many scientists working on various science and modern technology projects these days. However, with new scientific and technological developments, most people underestimate the harm they cause.
Explanation:
First and foremost, I would like to state that with the advancement of science and technology, people have become lazy. They rarely walk or ride their bikes to work. There are now many modern cars in cities that are said to emit less gas. However, their emitted gases harm the environment, which is why, in my opinion, pollution of our environment exists. Second, it appears to me that technology is robbing us of our leisure time. For example, these new laptop computers or touch-screen devices are packed with entertaining programmes that effectively attract people. People then forget how to communicate with others in person, rather than through international communication systems such as "Skype" or "Facebook."
On the other hand, I believe that science and technology have advanced significantly over the last few decades. New medical treatments, computer technologies, and other useful technological devices are assisting people in solving a wide range of problems more easily than in the past. Overall, these new scientific and technological discoveries harm not only our environment, but also ourselves. So, in my opinion, we should start thinking about the technologies we use.
