Features: The development of science and technology, especially technology, can be described as "ever-changing," "rapidly advancing," and "bewildering." Moreover, the pace of this progress is accelerating every second. At the same time, as technological activities and their achievements permeate fields such as human politics, economy, culture, and even the ways of human survival and life continuation, a series of increasingly severe social issues—such as war, poverty, environmental pollution, ecological crises, resource waste, future anxiety, and doomsday mentality—have followed one after another. These issues force people to reposition the social function of science and technology and to reflect theoretically and practically on the attitudes and methods of human management and application of technology.
