Nature may be defined as integrated and dynamical
systems that allows the existence of life forms and gives all resources for the
survival of life. Here nature mean all the things, including dynamical activities in which creatures are
living players and abiotic component supports them. If nature is primary system
then technologies modify the nature that creates a secondary system which makes
easier the utilization of natural
resources. The birth of technology is from nature. Nature is the mother of
technology and technology is the child of nature, because all sciences and
technologies are derived from nature. So technologies are interlinked with
nature. There is a strong bond between nature and technology. These
relationships make life easy. Some of the technologies fill the gap between
nature and human life but most of them increase the distance and create
the gap. These gaps greatly affect creatures and our life(human).In reality,
nature has all solutions for the problems but technology helps in fetching the
raw data or modifying the natural
systems for particular necessity. One type of technology helps in the creation of other
types of technologies. But our conventional technology has respected the nature
along with the existence of life and maintaining the nature -human bonds and
stabilized it. In the modern era, developed technology altered the conventional
technology for various purposes but one thing is common that is to get the
comfortable life and survival. Usually, the g(general) factor peoples are more
in number who utilize more technology and may be categorized under non-creative
and while S(special)- factor peoples are
creative and are involved in the
generation of technology. Einstine and Newton are one of them but so many
scientists have developed and have been developing the technology for human survival under
extreme environment. Extreme environmental situations and anthropogenic
activities cause many problems which may be harmful and may be byproducts of technological applications. In
real life, problems are of two types :
A.technology dependent problems(TDP)
B.technology independent problems(TIP)
A.Technology-dependent problems(TDP)
The first objective of technology is to
be used to mitigate the problems around us. Technology to be used is dependent
on the degree of problems and categories
of problems. Sometimes technology creates problems rather than to mitigate the
problems and another technology suppresses the problems to be
derived from technology under
consideration. This is termed as technology dependent problems.
B.Technology independent problems(TIP)
All of the problems are not
influenced by technology. Some problems are originated without the interference
of technologies so are called TIP. Before pre-industrial era TIP was common and
people used the conventional method to solve the small to large problems. That
time common TIP were solved by physical work without using any machine.

This image tells that technologies are used in both to combat necessity and to solve problem and small degree of problem can be solved or increases by applying technology for solution. Large problems can be solve by further again use of another technology.

The human intelligence helps in the
development of technologies and these technologies help us in the survival and longevity of the life. It implies
intelligence mediated technology development
and technology-mediated survival. The
great and intelligent minds deal with extreme conditions. This modern era
fulfilled of technological challenges. The anthropogenic activities with
technology has greatly affected the human – nature relationships and the major
problem of human beings is that they don’t try to understand the nature’s
rules. Nature’s symbols and the signals are two different dimensions guided by
nature itself. But human beings accept it as in the form of a challenge like
enemy signal. Some human mind understands
it as one dimension natural activity. Artificial intelligence such as a robot
is the humanistic machine which is a major product of human intelligence that
plays important roles in this time or in the time of emergency time or any
other acts of nature. The present situation is still good for healthy earth but
future is dominant by artificial intelligence .According to Stephen Hawking the
artificial intelligence technology will dominant over human(Homo sapience) in
the future and may control human beings
which will be dangerous and arise question on existence of human life.
Futuristic artificial intelligence will destabilize the nature- human
relationship. The present situation is still good for healthy earth but future
will be dominant by artificial
intelligence. The time will come to the two powers independently fight among
them for monopolies. They will be human civilization and artificial intelligence but nature will supports human.
Some probable disturbance factors of nature-human
relationship:-
1.use of artificial intelligence technology(AIT)
2.Ignorance of conventional technology
3. More belief in technology
4.Decision-making processes by artificial intelligence rather than the
human mind.
The alteration in human
-nature relationship by any technologies may be either negative or positive
effect(S). These effects may decide our survival and existence of life on
the earth.
