'Our current obsession with technology is dead.' The phrase means :

  • A.Do not use technology any more
  • B.Do not produce new technology.
  • C.Additional guidelines to use technology are needed.
  • D.That technology reflects the darkest face of human development.

Answer: C

The phrase means that additional guidelines to use technology are needed. In the passage the author calls the current obsession with technology a dead end and goes on at once to say that we need additional guidelines for our actions, so a dead end here means that technology alone leads nowhere without further guidance.

It does not mean that technology should not be used or that new technology should not be produced, since the writer only says that science and technology alone cannot solve the problems of the new millennium. The darkest face of human development is what the passage says will be reflected if the planet is not protected, not the meaning of the phrase itself.
