Technology is the origin of problems and the solution is a dilemma cycle.

Climate change is a very sensitive problem of the 21st century and anthropogenic factors are important which accelerate the rate of climate change. All bigger problems of humans are directly linked with the growth of technology. Human develops technology to solve a problem but the new technology become a problem in itself. AC and other cooling agents like a refrigerator were developed to tackle the problem of heat in summer, but they become the cause of ozone depletion which gifted humans skin cancer and eye weakness.

In the recent Russia- Ukraine war nuclear weapons emerged as the biggest concern and threat for the whole world. America developed nuclear weapons for tackling the problem of the 2nd world war, but it later destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some scholars argued that Nuclear technology would be the game changer in terms of energy security. For solving the problem of energy security scientists are working to gain more knowledge of nuclear science but it's sure that in lack of energy security a society can be preserved but the destruction caused by nuclear weapons can make the human species extinct. The huge massive textile machines were developed so that people can buy cheap clothes and everyone could save themselves from extreme heat and extreme cold. Clothes are linked with poverty.

As books are recognized by its cover the economic condition of people is recognized by their clothes, we witnessed that the mechanization of the textile industry gifted poverty in developing countries, it took employment from the poor people and make them jobless and the jobless person has no money to buy even cheap clothes. We are ignoring the basic needs of human beings when we going to develop technology for solving a problem. A sect of people think artificial rain can make a desert green but they are ignoring the fact that green fields are becoming deserts from such activities. The use of fertilizer in agriculture helped in managing the problem of starvation and food security but as we can't ignore that the number of people who died due to starvation is less than the number whose lives are under threat due to the production of chemicalised food and vegetables. The so-called civilized are interfering in the life of tribal as tribals are living in a real world where they accept the problems and solved it through natural methods. They are sacrificing their life not because they have no knowledge of dealing with the problems but because their long-term calculation is much more developed than ours.

Technocrates and scientists are finding solutions for a short period which later become a problem for a long period, due to which technology becomes the origin of the problem and the solution become a dilemma cycle which gives happiness for a few decades and give pain for centuries.
Artificial Intelligence, machine learning ,virtual reality, genome sequencing, digital currency etc are the technologies which are dominating the world but we need to remember that the structure of sustainable development and these emerging technologies must be free from narrow gains otherwise humans will lose their last option to save and protect the earth.
