The atom bombs in the possession of he USA and USSR are powerful enough to blow up the world within no time. The scientists are busy making further advances in the field of armaments and the day is not very far when by switching on one button, the whole humanity will become a thing of the past.
The governments of different countries are busy in trying to develop a nuclear device. The smoke and pollution left by big industries is spoiling the whole atmosphere.
In Switzerland, a private company let out the pollutants in the river and the whole marine life of the river was wiped out. Ultimately, all this poisonous material reaches the ocean and kills fish of every type. The whole work is done by machines.
One machine can work for thousands of persons. Unemployment is increasing at a very fast rate. Even those people who work in the factories sit idle the whole day. We have forgotten manual labour which can keep us physically fit. We cannot walk even for a kilometre because we depend more and more on automobiles.
The result is that most of us suffer from diseases of various types. We cannot enjoy a healthy, vigorous and busy life. Science started as our servant but is becoming our master. It is getting on our nerves and the entire humanity will have to suffer a great deal.
