There is no denying that due to a drastic change in medical science, the life expectancy of people keeps on increasing. Some people are considering this as the greatest achievement of society while some people do not consider this as a positive development.

When engineers in technology put their hands on medical care and brought the new improve medical care. Everyday engineers in technology envision the future health and new strategies of how technology inventions will help humanity. Technology engineers are upgrading medical care. Many people in the past had to suffer because there wasn’t any technology to support them. In the past, the civilization wasn’t able to reach for doctors or medicine because the civilization was so far away from the city. Engineers in technology stated improving medical care, new medical devices have been created, new software has been adapted and modernized techniques have increase hospitality for every patient.

Some reports suggest that average age of death has been increased from 46.7 in 1990 to 59.3 in 2016. Though the trend is encouraging as now our near and dear ones live longer. The data shows that humans are making right health related decisions and this achievement can be attributed to improvement in public health and medical care. This can be cited as a great achievement for individuals and society but it also means many countries facing an aging population. Furthermore, longer longevity (Life) also means less young working force for a country. For a country, lack of young working force could mean less prosperity and growth. We are living on a planet with lesser resources and most of the resources humans are consuming are non-renewable. What will we do with longevity with no resources? Longer longevity puts an extra burden on individuals and society.

For the reasons discussed above I can conclude that an increase in average life expectancy rate can put the burden on environment and society but it can be dealt jointly by individuals and society. After all longer longevity is a symbol of growing civilization and the better life
