Why wait? I found this interesting TED talks :Raymond Wang: How germs travel on planes -- and how we can stop them Raymond Wang is only 17 years old, but he's already helping to build a healthier future. Using fluid dynamics, he created computational simulations of how air moves on airplanes, and what he found is disturbing — when a person sneezes on a plane, the airflow actually helps to spread pathogens to other puncoolengers. Wang shares an unforgettable animation of how a sneeze travels inside a plane cabin as well as his prize-winning solution: a small, fin-shaped device that increases fresh airflow in airplanes and redirects pathogen-laden air out of circulation. My question will be do we really need more faster developed technological still we have miss a lot of stuff or we did not care about it , and can human really control everything forever? Can we prevent Disease by using developed technology. Why wait? I am curious guys to know your thought. This the link for for website , and wish every watch this video it was interesting. www.ted.com/talks/raymond_wang_how_germs_travel_on_planes_and_how_we_can_stop_them?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2015-12-12&utm_campaign=newsletter_weekly&utm_medium=email&utm_content=talk_of_the_week_image

I don't think human beings can control everything forever because we can't control nature. Nature controls us in return. However, I do believe that we can prevent diseases by using developed technology. Although there are no cures for every single diseases, we have a really big chance of developing the medicine for it within the next 10 years or 15. If you just take a look at Korea, it has developed drastically over just a small period of time, 50 years ago, there were no Gangnam, there were no subway stations that look like airports, and skyscrapers.

I think that we are waiting. But on the other hand, we are trying to develop cures, create new technologies, and advance society as a whole. But one of the problems is the different industries involved in this development. Take for example, the Cancer Industry. From reading different sources, cancer can be cured but won't be. This is because the Cancer Industry is a huge business with tons of money. Cancer can be cured apparently, but this would lead to that industry being ended afterwards: no more money.
Why wait? Because greedy, power-hungry men want more, not for the health of humans.

Humans cannot control everything forever. As Nick said, because humans cannot control nature, we cannot control everything. Scientists are trying to make cures for diseases. But they need to make the right cures for every single disease. Every cure is made after an epidemic has broken out. We wait because we need to know what kind of cure fits with the disease.

The last hundred years was crazy for us. From the Roaring 20s, to the Space Races, and finally the modern days. The technology that we have gained is phenomenal and I can say it's totally crazy. The fact that we are typing on keyboards on these computers. It is something that people 100 years ago couldn't even imagine about. Humans are doing a pretty good job of controlling everything by destroying everything. One day, all of the things that humans have done to Earth will come back and all of us would die. We aren't waiting for this to come but as more and more technology is becoming advanced, people tend not to look back. We are missing so much from the crazy advancement. Our priorities are becoming weird and one day we will all die.
