 DESTROY THE WORLD

      MULTIMEDIA ASSIGNMENT
   SOCIAL IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
         PROF: EMILY BRETT

       THURSDAY APRIL 11, 2013
HELP! IT’S NOT TOO
       LATE
IS TECHNOLOGY GOING TO DESTROY US
      LIKE SEEN IN THE MOVIES?
NOT LIKELY BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS
    TECHNOLOGY IS DESTROYING THE WORLD




             SUPERIOR BEINGS?
NUCLEAR WEPONS?        PARTICLE ACCELERATORS?
THE UNIVERSE WE LIVE IN IS GIGANTIC BEYOND IMAGINATION. IN FACT IT
IS STILL EXPANDING AND GROWING LARGER TODAY. WHEN THINKING
ONLY NUMERICAL AND CONSIDERING THE LIKELYHOOD OF LIFE ON
ANOTHER PLANET, ITS ALMOST NIEVE TO THINK THERE ISN’T ANY.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM WE LIVE IN IS A REALITIVLEY YOUNG SOLAR SYSTEM
COMPARED TO OTHERS IN THE GALAXY

THIS WOULD MEAN THAT IF LIFE DID EXSIT ELSE WHERE IN THE UNIVERSE
THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT IT WOULD BE FROM AN OLDER GALAXY
THAN OURS. WHICH WOULD GIVE OPOURTUNITY FOR THEIR SPECIES TO
ADVANCE FARTHER THAN OUR PRESENT STATE. WOULD THIS MAKE THEM
SUPERIOR?
NEW GAMA RAY SENDER/RECIEVER
  TELESCOPES ARE ALLOWING US TO
BROADCAST MESSAGES INTO SPACE AND
      LISTEN FOR AN ANSWER
THIS RAISES THE QUESTION




SHOULD WE BE TRYIG TO CONTACT ALIENS?
NUCLEAR WEPONS HAVE BEEN A THREAT SINCE THE
EARLY 1930’S.

THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN TWO DENONATIONS OF
NUCLEAR WEPONS.

THE FIRST WAS ON MONDAY AUGUST 6, 1945. ON THIS DAY
A URANIUM TYPE WARHEAD NAMED LITTLE BOY WAS
DETONATED IN HIROSHIMA JAPAN.




THE SECOND WAS THREE DAYS LATER. IT WAS A
PLUTONIUM TYPE WAR HEAD NAMED FAT MAN
DETONATED IN NAGASAKI JAPAN.
IT IS ESTIMATED
THAT IT WOULD
TAKE A NUCLEAR
BOMB WITH A
DESTRUCTIVE
CAPACITY OF 5000
MEGATONS. WHICH
DOSE NOT EXSIST AS
OF NOW, BUT
COULD BE MADE.
MAN HAS MADE MACHINES CALLED PARTICAL
ACCELERATORS. THESE MACHINES MOVE SMALL
PARTICLES OF MATER AT INSANE SPEEDS INORDER TO DO
RESEARCH ON AN AREA OF SCIENCE CALLED HIGH
ENERGY PHYSICS.

PARTCLE ACCELERATORS ARE ACTUALY CAPABLE OF
PRODUCE SUCH SPEEDS AND ENERGYS THAT IT CAN
CREATE WHATS KNOWN AS A BLACK HOLE AND ENGULF
THE EARTH INTO IT.
TECHNOLOGY
FRIEND OR FOE?
