A permanent question

The other day following Dr. Ed Buckler’s talk on climate-adapted crop, someone asked “Do you think the adapted crop will bring about ecological interference problems to nature?”

I laughed. This is more like a philosophical question rather than a science question. An extending question is: How do we regard the good and bad sides of a new technology?

A coin has two sides. Technological innovations bring up comfort, convince and security to humanity, but it also have side effects, causing tension and harm. Say, nuclear power station and nuclear bomb; fossil energy use and global warming.

I think people can minimize and even avoid the potential damage if we put effort and consideration on it. No one would like to go back and live in Stone Age, suffering from natural disasters all the time.
