Progress makes everything more efficient, including killing, but it also improves quality of life, as it extends life. Moral values (good and bad), are usually rooted in tradition, and hinder progress. Progress is better than maintaining outdated values. I wish people would consider quality of life above moral values. Abortion and birth control are wrong morally, but teenage unwed mothers and a corrupt system of adoption are OK. We live longer, often plugged into machines with no quality of life because euthanasia is immoral. Progress is always good, moral values are not always good.
Technological advances are a lucrative industry. And man now communicates via mobile wheresoever he may be in the world. We have Internet, Internet phone, web cams.
Technological progress is incredible but it is not always good. The further we progress the more out of our depth we become in terms of morality and ethics.
