Technology and Creation of Industry

   Double face of Science and technology

Sience and technology have been developed for improvement of our lives and global futere, but is the futere beyond the development of technology really looking bright ? The more advnced technology is applied in our lives, the more likely it gets to affect nature and culture in both good and bad ways. While technology is essential in leading a cultured life, its background are the risk of damaging environment or disappearance of culture. We must therefore discuss these issues and where the limit of using technology is. With the rapid technological improvement happening in all fields, now is the time to face its positive and negative aspects and discuss with students from different countries about the usage and presence of futere technology as well as its relation with society and industry in hopes of finding a key to realize a safe and prosperous global future. At the same time, students will attempt to use their unique perspective for proposing a plan to create new industry using science and technology.
