Is progess necessarily beneficial for society?

Blog prompt: Is progess necessarily beneficial for society?

I think that progress is not necessarily beneficial for society, however, a bit of progress might be beneficial to the society.

What I mean by that is that, now, the society is progressing way to fast from a plain old diary to a blog, a cup connected by strings to a handphone, from a fishing village to a first-class city(Singapore), from washing clothes in a river to using a washing machine, from watching television in black and white to high defination and full coloured, etc.

The society is progressing way too quickly. Although there are many advantages there are also many disadvantages.

Disadvantages

1. The rich would become richer and the poor would become poorer.

-As the society progresses, people would have to develop their resources even more quickly, so the rich would pry the land of the poor and turn it into beautiful resorts, factories, shopping malls, etc. They will receive huge profits but they would only give these poor people meagre sums of money, that cannot even afford them another home! The faster the society progresses there will be more of such incidents happening.

Advantages

1. Easier to complete activities.

-New innovations can help us.

2.Mor options to leisure.

-Singapore's resort.

So in conclusion, I hope that the society will progress but not so quickly.
