Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. Man's thirst for technological advancement is insatiable, a reality that is readily illustrated by the massive changes, improvements and discoveries that were made in the twentieth century alone. That relative short period of time on the human timeline depicts a planetary species whose quest to improve itself knows no bounds. The extent to which technology has infiltrated virtually every aspect of human existence is both grand and far-reaching; that man has had to forfeit some of his inherent freedom in exchange for such tremendous progress speaks to a compromise many people do not realize they have made. While the claim is made that politics and philosophy do indeed benefit human freedom, the definitive response to technology's impact is still undecided. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

is still undecided. ...If the fixity of human nature seems to be at risk from biotechnology, we should remember that it is part of our nature to take risks
with our nature--to adapt it to our uses in order to enhance our beauty, our knowledge, and our power...We are free, after all, and attempts to curtail our freedom, when
not justified by some urgent need, diminish us (Scruton, 2007, p. 78). Inasmuch as the "management of technology embodies human choice and freedom" (Amadi-Echendu, 2007, p. 1204), one of
the ways in which it enhances that freedom is by virtue of granting greater options with regard to life choices. Altering our minds and bodies has become somewhat of
a hobby with the presence of such technology as mood-altering drugs and cosmetic surgery (Scruton, 2007). The freedom to beat Father Time at his own game when facial lines
begin to form, enhancing ones sexual performance with the aid of a single pill or challenging the shift of gravity by having a breast lift represents just how important certain
aspects of the human network are to certain global populations. The most overwhelmingly freedom-driven technology, however, is a system that has effectively networked the entire globe so people from one
