Yes technology gets usually better in time . But there has been a few back drops in history like the Roman Empire was better technology than say the early middle ages in development . In the future you need better buildings for withstanding elements and to hold more capacity and making better stronger lighter products of what we use today . Look in the 90's was Walkman's / Cassettes but now CD's / Ipod's out there . Look at television from 20 something years ago looks almost like Black and White shows to HDTV's now but in a few decade this technology will mainly suck because things will update from there .

well i don't want to confuse u but it totally depends upon what development u r talking about.
For all materialistic, medical, sports, entertainment, communication........... all these feilds will totally depend upon engineers and technology for development in one or other ways.

But for human development ( like spiritual development and all that sort of stuff ) it is really not dependent upon technology.

Note we have to develope in all aspects and not only spirutially or materialistic development.

So answer is yes engineering is necessary for future development.

I wanna become an engineer and yes its very important because with all this technology being dicovered we can invent new revolutionary machines and devices to help with odd things and everyday things. We can all make something to improve the future to come.

Hope i helped

It depends very much what you mean by essential and by development.

If you think for example that more palm oil for our food is "essential" and see it (and the like) as a continuing "future development" (which it probably is!!) even though it clogs our arteries and its advance drives unknown numbers of animal species into extinction due to the removal of the forests in Borneo etc., then yes, technology is essential for future development.

Engineering and technology are the tools of future development. Unfortunately it is politicians, entrepreneurs, economists and bankers who set these tools to work without regard to what they do other than make money and create jobs. But the engineers, sadly, also don't give it much thought! They too have jobs to keep and need some cash at the end of the month! So the world's disaster continues to deepen in the name of development.

Try to depict in your essay what's really going on and forget all the hype about CO2, and green sustainability - it's just a bunch of new buzz-words to keep you believing someone cares whilst they're being turned into new job and wealth creators, without any regard for nature or even for those "near animals" at the lower end of the human economic scale.

Ultimately the more pointed question is "is engineering and technology essential for the future enlightenment which we must find?".

Absolutely, it always will be thus; but its the new technologies of engineering that will be leading the way in the future rather than old style heavy engineering of the past.
