When The Little Boy and The Fat Man, dropped two atomic bombs the U.S., raise the red clouds in the sky city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, anyone will be sad to imagine. The face of technology that appear violent.
It's not just been burned pretty logistics city of Hiroshima, but also resulted in high radiation to the population. Then thousands of people dead and affected roasted radiation from the atomic bomb.
Humanity we must deplore the tragedy. However, how far we can learn from this event, addressing the science and technology wisely? This is our homework.

Science in praxis
We all know, science has been growing very rapidly, which was originally tied to spirituality, continue to shift toward praxis. Science which was originally more of a mental activity Primum vivere deinde philosophari (first fight for a new life after that berberpendapat) has emerged as "explanatory" (explain) and "oracle" (Predict) natural phenomena.
However, the milestones of the most prominent scientific praxis is what happened during the Industrial Revolution through the invention of the steam engine (1769) by James Watt. Dream Francis Bacon in his book The New Atlantis as a country full of hi-tech form. According to Capra in The Turning Point, "since Bacon, science goals turn into a revered knowledge to master and control nature, that for purposes of antiekologis" (F Capra, 1997).
How does the enormity of the revolution that started the modern era it portrayed Peter Gay in the Age of Enlightenment, that how the manufacturers without the restraints of law and ethics to move with great cruelty and no obscenity. They employ the kids for 14, 16, or 18 hours per day. Workers forced to accept the cruel rules, while the penalty for noncompliance is very hard and cruel (Peter Gay, 1966).
Finally Luddite movement in 1811 exploded and destroyed the machinery industry. But the strongest memories of that time is not on the application of science and technology thermodynamic steam engine itself, but on the fact that James Watt has changed the structure of peasant society and the English nobility, and split it into the worker-employer-proletarian and bourgeois enemies, as well as figures rise by Karl Marx.
When Soddy discovered phenomenon of fission nucleus (nuclear fission) or Enrico Fermi's first reactor design under the University of Chicago football stadium, no celebration of the formations. But when the Manhattan Project aimed at B Reactor plutonium from Hanford Site, Nevada, and its enrichment of uranium-235 installation for The Little Boy and The Fat Man, the global order is changing. Not only Japanese society is thick with the spirit of Bushido and willing to die for the emperor turned into human beings who look sideways individualist Heika Tenno (emperor), Kimigayo (anthem), and the Hinomaru (national flag), and even nuclear power has changed the structure of political- global economy of post-World War II.

Rapid changes
Now the change is increasingly rapid motion. First, the shorter the distance Between the discoveries of science with technological applications. In atomic physics, for example, Used to Examine people with absolutely no intent to obtain new energy sources, but rather with Curiosity about the smallest structure of matter. However, having discovered the phenomenon of splitting the core, it has changed from the technology of atomic physics.
That is, the longer the distance Between discovery science and technology products increasingly short. In the past decades That time interval, the result of science is still public domain even though the technology to be trade secrets are Bought and sold. However, now, hose it down to an annual time Just Because of the concentration of super-advanced thinking and communication antarsaintis. As a result, science Becomes a trade secret.
Second, change the position of centers of excellence in science and technology. The centers of excellence Originally the which was located at this university has Moved into government research institute. Then with the shortening of the interval Between discovery science and technology, sharp commercial competition, as well as the high value of the economic value of scientific discoveries, this position was taken over the company.
There was a shift pradigma (techno-paradigm shifts) in the which changed from the main human resources capital firms and other physical devices-not-and the company was not just produces goods and services, but of thought. In fact, in many Japanese manufacturing companies, investment in research is much Greater than for capital investments and changes from place to manufacture goods to be a place to think (Fumio Kodama, 1995).
This phenomenon is visible Also in industry in Silicon Valley, Such as Apple Computer, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, Lucent Technology, and IBM. Even models of technology-belts Such as Silicon Valley loved many countries Such as Tsukuba (Japan), Hsinchu (Taiwan), the chemical industry in Basel, Switzerland, or Puspiptek, Serpong. That is, the company has changed from a center of excellence in science and technology development.
Thus, science and technology is Becoming increasingly integrated and subject to market Mechanisms. Research will from be more market driven rather academic Than driven. If so, along with Globalization, multinational corporations (MNC) to dictate foreign technology in a country. Should this watch out Because They, According to Stuart Sim in Nirmanusia, WHO is the advanced capitalist desires do not lead to expansion and innovation of technology to eliminate human morality (Sim, 2001).
Therefore needs to be resistance, namely the collapse of humanity, Designed by advanced technology. Humans need to oppose all human tdak solutions backed by the forces of "techno-science", namely technology plus science, plus advanced capitalism, and multinational corporations.
This is the beginning of a tragedy like Minamata, Bhopal, Chernobyl, or the Fukushima Nuclear Reactor That occurred recently
History has shown, science and technology does not necessarily bring happiness and make life Easier. Misuse of technology has turned from the value of those benefits. Therefore axiological Technology Should Be Controlled by Humane ethics for Einstein's regret over the meaningful. There needs to be a technology wisdom, that wisdom how to use technology fair, That he was a blessing, not a disaster.

This is what We need to think together, let's save our earth ..... Keep the Preservation of nature start from ourselves and our hearts .......
