The Invisibility Cloak at University of California, Berkeley
Posted on November 5th, 2008
People’s imagination even before are really good. People have invented so many things that are attributed to some movies now. Certain technologically advance materials, weapons, cars and clothes are seen in movies like Superman and James Bond. But what if these once to be an imagination comes into real life? Just like that of Harry Potter’s Invisible cloak?
Duke University developed a way on how to make this Invisibility cloak. They used certain engineered materials to make a person wearing the invisibility cloak appears to be a bit invisible. The people find this very interesting that even people from Japan started developing this Invisibility cloaks. But what could be its effect on the society? Given the fact that, if this cloak will be developed, people will try their best and use this for their good and the good of others, and more so, for the bad of others as well.
It is said that it is no longer God that dictates what has to be done in the world. Because of the modern technology now, people are more intelligent in finding the best answers to so many things, to the extent that scientists even invent things that are not that really imperative in the lives of the people.
The invention of the invisibility cloak will just make the people be receptive to bad acts. If this will be developed, a lot of criminals will be very happy. They could just wear this invisibility cloak and do their criminal acts. More so, those that are cheating in the government will have the benefit of doing their thing easier when this invisibility cloak is placed on them.
I am not against any modernity, in fact, I am enjoying what the world has to offer for me now, the convenience is incomparable to that of the technology before. But we must also take into account the disadvantages of these technology. Just like this invisibility cloak could offer.
