1.) Technological advances that have caused more harm then good is the invention of Facebook. In ways, this social network is good because people from different countries can connect or reconnect with each other, you can reconnect with old friends, or people you used to go to high school with, or just have it as a way to talk to your friends. With all great things, there has to be a flaw with it. Facebook tends to have a lot of "Facebook Drama" where teens and adults like to bully or "harass" each other.
2.) I do think that humans should always push the boundaries of knowledge because humans are curious creatures, meaning we always want to know more of something. We tend to never stop learning about everything because we discover something new everyday. I think that people in the field of discovery should be the ones allowed to push the boundaries because they are the experts and know how far something needs to be pushed.
Frankenstein Questions:
1.) What inspired Shelley to write this novel was one of his dreams.
2.) Technological advances that the speaker reference is Shelley knew that the science of genetics would expand due to her 'dream'. Also genetic engineering would also be an idea that scientist would soon know more about because of Frankenstein.
3.) One of the definitions of "Frankenstein" that I hear is that "one who creates something they can't control."
4.) The invention of 1769 that changed the world and started the industrial revolution was the steam engine.
