Technology and spirituality, without any doubt, must travel together in the whole trajectory of the existence of humanity. Spirituality is nothing more than the consciousness and reason of the essence of the human being. The awareness of reality leads man to continuously search for improvements and satisfaction of his needs. Technology arises with the sole purpose of satisfying all these needs of man, generating welfare, comfort and quality of life.

Human spirituality must conscientiously lead technology for the benefit and development of man. There cannot be a divorce of the human with technological advances, the day that happens can be fatal and dangerous. Technology cannot be used for private benefits but for the collective benefit. Today's society has experienced a great development as a result of technological advances. The architecture in large developed cities is a mirror of technological progress over time. Today we talk about industrial development, which has been a product of the immensity of technology in different industrial fields.
The economic progress of highly developed nations are examples to consider of technological development. The commercial and international exchange has its advantages in the use of technology. Really, it is impressive, the way in which countries achieve important economic growth, and the reason of being is centered in technology.
In terms of communication, it is completely interesting how man communicates at a distance using the different means offered by technology. Regarding the recreational and health aspect, technology has played a very important role, which has allowed many advances in medicine due to the same technology applied in that field.
Beliefs or religions have spread throughout the globe due to technological advances such as the internet and other means that facilitate it.
The internal commerce in each nation and its monetary system, flows with great speed due to the same technology. Everything that we have to do and that is necessary, technology facilitates them and provides us with important comforts.
We can spend a lifetime talking about the positive and advantageous things that technology allows us, but as we said at the beginning, it must travel in conjunction with human spirituality and not lose the sense and direction of what we want with technology. The ultimate goal of man is to achieve happiness and this can be achieved humanly, hand in hand with technology. Remember that the spiritual has to do with consciousness. Man must be aware that he is making the best use of technology not in terms of selfishness, but in terms of collective productivity, where the whole society benefits and not a small group.
With technology, man can achieve many dreams and satisfy many needs. Man by himself, with technology, has gone very far, such as exploring the solar system and creating spaceships with advanced technology to explore certain planets. Technology has helped man to create and design robots, which have a lot to do with the future.
In all areas of life, human beings have found many comforts, thanks to advances in science and technology. What man can never neglect is the reason for his own existence, which must allow him to guide and control technology so that it does not get out of hand and endanger the very existence of humanity. Let us not forget that the wars of the last centuries have been of fatality for man, product of the same advanced technology in the military area. All this remains as a reflection, but spirituality and technology must board the same plane and coexist in harmony in all times.
