Yesterday I started reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury again. I read it for the first time about 25 years ago, around 1988. The book was published first in 1954 in Great Britain by Rupert Hart-Davis, Ltd. Ray Bradbury is an American Citizen but he found an English publisher for the book. I don’t know if this has something to do with the political circumstances of the USA of the 1950th, but some philosophic writers got problems in this political period and the novel is very sociocritical. It’s an utopian novel, virtually a dystopian story, that tries to show us, that if we loose our books, we loose everything. Why? Because if we loose our books, we loose our history and so the essences of the complete lives of all our predecessors. I was thinking if there are today technologies that are able to completely annihilate mankind and human history, more than the firemen in Bradbury’s novel and their programmable assassin robots can do.
This thoughts caused me to write down a list of the 10 most dangerous technologies in the world, ever invented by humans. Technologies that are able to kill the lives of the living and also technolgies that are able to kill the lives of the dead and of the unborn, too. The results were very interesting, I think.
After reading You will hopefully better understand, why some certain technologies are so difficult to enter for smaller companies, why there are so many military and intelligence observers in bigger high-tech companies and why our army and our police are talking more and more often about cyber-war in the newspapers. So, let’s begin the list of the ten most dangerous technologies ever:
