Since time immemorial human beings are known to have a great appetite to acquire knowledge. They have traveled from one place to another to satisfy their hunger for the sake of knowledge. Many great inventors skipped their meals and have gone without sleep to achieve education and knowledge. The invention of telephone by graham bell, the invention of electricity etc has all improved our life in one way or the other. Today we can drive easily and reach our destination safely due to the people who thought of inventing something that can make journey easy for human beings. With a click of a button you can get the news of the world on a single screen.

Just as knowledge has made life easy for us, there are some warning signs that need to be checked if we want a peaceful life for the future generation. For long knowledge has been misused by some anti social elements to achieve their personal goals. The most dangerous is the nuclear weapons which are possessed by almost all the countries and are a very big threat to the very existence of human beings. According to the reports if all the nuclear weapons in world are used, the entire world can be destroyed at least ten times.

People’s lust for money has made them achieve success by hook or by crook. They have abused the environment that has resulted in global warming. Trees have been chopped; industries are releasing toxic waste in the air as well in the river polluting and creating health hazards for the people. Attempts are being made to break every law in the book so that money can be minted.

With revolution in information technology education and handling work in offices has become easier. At the same time children are being spoiled in the name of video games. Children spend huge amount of time in front of television and computer sets which hamper their overall personality.

Education is a gift of God. If used properly, it can work wonders and benefit people in a number of ways. On the other hand misuse of knowledge can be disastrous. The tsunami which resulted in the death of so many innocent lives was nothing but the result of abusing the environment. Fire helps us in cooking but it can also burn and destroy things if not handled properly. Similarly education and knowledge if used for the benefit of the people can be boon for the society or else the day is not far off when the very existence of human beings will be questioned.
