However, it was also doubted that the some other areas are still on the way of to become better, such as traffic, environment and preservation of animals. From the dwellings that people are living in to a range of vehicles to the electronic equipments, the advanced technology, that was growing at a unprecedented rate, has becoming an important role in today's life. Not only convenience of technology, humans are also benefited from the modern lifestyle. Moreover, nowadays, a variety of diseases, that were infected from animals or transferred from a long physical distance away, they have been cured by the products from the medical experiments. However, our ancestors had no choice but would die after a painstaking process once they have got the diseases. On the other hand, it is of great concerns that there are still some fields are underdeveloped. As there are soaring number of vehicles on the streets, the traffic congestions has brought even heavy pressure on the roads, and these cars and motorbikes are of dangerous potential to pedestrians' safety. In addition, the waste gas, which is discharged as a result of burning the fuels and oils, can lead to irreversible environmental issues.

In conclusion, from the examples are put forward above, there is still a long way to go for the sake of the society, although several goals have been achieved though the donations of the pioneers in different fields.
