    The document compares and contrasts less and more technologically advanced ways of doing the same tasks, like snail mail versus email. It discusses whether the more advanced option is always better for achieving "the good life." While technology has made lives faster and easier, it also has disadvantages. There is a relationship between science, technology, and the good life, but technology alone does not guarantee happiness and can sometimes be misused in ways that do not lead to the good life.

    Developmental Activity

    Compare and contrast. Identify two modes of doing the same thing where one involves a more
    technologically advanced method. Example would be a snail mail vs. email. List down as many
    examples. Brainstorm with a partner if a less technologically sophisticated mechanism can
    actually turn out to be better in terms of reaching for the good life. Is the more technologically
    advanced always better?
     Kodak Camera VS. A Smartphone
     Typewriters VS. Laptops
     Telephones VS. A Smartphone
     CD’s/Floppy disks VS. Flash drives
     ATMs VS. Digital wallets
     Walkmans VS. Ipads
    I believe the portion that is debated is constantly, but it has secured a faster, easier, and better
    approach to developing and enriching humanity's daily lives. Technical advancement and the
    influence of how we use technology, as far as I can tell, are both interdependent elements that we
    may identify with cause and effect. Of course, there are advantages, such as those listed above,
    but we must also recognize that there are disadvantages.
    Assessment
    1. What is the good life?
     A happy life, according to Aristotle, is one in which a person cultivates and uses
    his or her reasoning skills through pursuits such as scientific study, philosophical
    discussion, creative output, or legislation.
    2. What is the relationship between the good life and science?
     Many argues that science is the driving force behind a happy existence. Though
    good life and science are intricately linked, they have an influence on one another,
    similar to the concept of cause and effect. Science and its findings have a huge
    impact on human life, particularly good life. And it is the decision to live a decent
    life that propels the world's technological progress. Both of these are most likely
    used as cause and effect in a systematic context.
    3. Does technology always lead us to the good life? How and why?
     It could be able to help us do a task more swiftly and easily. Smartphones,
    computers, and other electronic devices are all products of contemporary
    technology. Science, research, and technology by themselves do not guarantee a
    happy life. It is inextricably linked to one another. Technology is only a tool for
    achieving a goal. And every instrument has the potential to be misused or
    exploited. If you're on the losing end of a conflict, technology isn't always the
    answer to a "happy life." Alternatively, communications technology might be
    used to spread misleading information, causing people to make poor decisions
    based on faulty information.
