Nowadays, many suggest that numerous detrimental factors will influence humans’ quality of life, hence causing them to be more prone to illness. Though these factors may exist to a certain extent, such as an exponential growth in airborne diseases and global population, I still firmly believe technological advancement will precede any negative drawbacks that impact our health.
In an ever-changing world, the ability to limit face-to-face interaction can actually protect our health. Take online transactions for instance. Over the past decades, we have seen developments in methods of payment. Thailand’s PromptPay QR Code is one notable example: customers can pay with just one touch through their phone’s camera. Consequently, this eliminates the risk of contagious diseases caused by physical contact.
Turning to rapid population growth, it is undeniable that, in some developing countries, the issue of overpopulation remains a key factor that influences people’s health. However, modern technology has seen a promising solution for those in need. In many African countries, clean, filtered water is scarce; this is where scientific progress comes in handy. People in remote tribes can access drinkable water through sophisticated piping infrastructure connecting them to the nearest water source. As these technologies become more affordable and accessible, the average standard of health will continue to rise significantly by the next decade.
To conclude my points, I argue that, with rapid technological progress, humanity will be able to handle illnesses. Though the world now experiences a noticeable trend that implies a dwindling average standard of people’s health, people’s standard of health will undoubtedly show signs of improvement.
