Depends on the way u luk at it. Science has most of the answers. Scientific thoughts, if not science can solve all - or almost all problems.
Its not the innovations but exploited use of the resources tht create problems for mankind. All the environmental imbalances r due to human beings exploiting more n more resources in order to derive quick returns. Sure, u will hav robot trees but then it wil create another set of problems once they r developed more n more. Just like the e-waste, scrap of tons of monitors n computer products.
Infact science if looked upon rationally n neutrally will also provide insight into religious n mythological beliefs n misbeliefs, communalism as put forth by sonic.
But unfortunately in this country, no one likes to be thoughtful in action, let alone question religion or farce customs n traditions. Wht one has grown up beleiving in nd learnt from elders as regards culture is upright. Few like to change midset even if they know its wrong.
