The development of technology today seems similar as the inevitable evolution of nature. Certain rules have been playing in both processes. Besides the survival of the fittest from their own traces, an interactive and complex relationship with human-beings is a vital perspective. People show awe, admiration, and protection to them, but we also suspect, fear, and exploit them. Especially when disharmonious elements happen, whether it is a natural disaster or an electrical malfunction, we as human-beings would have an ambivalent feeling as well as an identity confusion with their rapid changes. A question comes as what role should human play in regards to nature and technology? Moreover, with the relatively uncontrollable features of nature and the currently unknown future of technology, we would also wonder, is technology truly the new nature?
