Technicism is an over reliance or overconfidence in technology as a benefactor of society. Taken to extreme, some argue that technicism is the belief that humanity will ultimately be able to control the entirety of existence using technology. In other words, human beings will eventually be able to master all problems, supply all wants and needs, and possibly even control the future. Some, such as Monsma, connect these ideas to the abdication of religion as a higher moral authority. Because current technologies are generally accepted as good, future technological developments are not considered circumspectly, resulting in what seems to be a blind acceptance of technological developments.
In this world of virtual ordinance, we are so much abducted to these procure advancements that human tend to sell off their predicament of principles and culture diaphanously. One of our greatest writers has been diminishing and converted to premiere entities of business paradigm in Bengal and related communities. Today works of Tagore is more valued for it’s industrial and marketing measures more than it’s literary contribution and intellect.

Nothing is more confusing, for someone not familiar with music history, than to hear about something like: "classical music". One could define this term as: 'a kind of art form which has proved to be of a mature nature and balanced in emotions and formal structure. In normal language it simply means that this music is not belonging to the range of easy listening or pop music. It requires a certain level of involvement of the listener. The term 'classic' came in vogue after Ludwig van Beethoven death (1827) and denotes the perfection of form structure, the humanitarian continence and aesthetic ideals. One can freely translate 'classical' by adapting virtues as "truth, beauty, symmetry and harmony" as well as simplicity and clarity. Emotion, reason, continence and structure create a subtle balance in the outlook of the composition. You can truly say that the obtained result is 'timeless'. Is it???... How well it has been defined when a car in it’s reverse gear grounding the High Classical Period musician Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart or a high priced lighter singing Late Baroque Period composer Johann Sebastian Bach amidst the fire to light up a cigarette.
Advertisements, broadcasts and marketing strategies are slowly becoming parasites to the society…. It is eating up the ability to think…. It forces the consumers to buy the products with lifted costs….. In fictional literature such as Faust by Goethe, Faust's selling his soul to the devil in return for power over the physical world, is also often interpreted as a metaphor for the adoption of industrial technology. Thus we shall never experience our relationship to the essence of technology so long as we merely conceive and push forward the technological, put up with it, or evade it. Everywhere we remain chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it.
