Technology represents the art of applying scientific processes and ideologies in the production of goods and services. Technological advancement represents the most significant invention and progress in human history. Technology invention is credited for enhancing convenience, improving the production capacity, reducing the production time while improving the lead time. Most organizations and individuals focus on technology due to improving the quality of products and services they produce. The impact of technology can therefore be not overlooked as the world has been tremendously been changed the technology. Technology has the ability to impact the lives of individuals in a negative manner and through Roger Scruton's essay, it is easier to pinpoint the negative effect that technology can have on individuals through tinkering with their daily life activities. In the article, we will seek to answer the question about describing the kind of people and institutions that are most likely to be affected by the technological intervention and the kind of people or institutions that are most likely to benefit from a technological intervention as described by Roger Scruton in his essay, “Scientism in the art and humanity.”

With each technological intervention, there are those people and organizations that or whom are most primed to maximumly benefit and there are those whose livelihood and way of life is mostly going to be cut shot. As described by Scruton in his essay some of the people who are at the forefront of being affected by technology are artists. Artists especially those who draw paints write and sing and produce songs are mostly going to be negatively affected by technological interventions since they rely on their logical and mental abilities to produce what they can (Scruton, 2020). Most technological advancements lack the mental abilities to develop or invent ideas from scratch and what they mostly do is increase the speed and accuracy of reproducing already invented ideas and most of the time they lack the authenticity or the logic of seeking reproduction authority from the original creators of the content. Take, for example, the illustration that Scruton used in his essay regarding Titian, Venus of Urbino paint created in 1538, he illustrated that technological intervention with the capabilities to reproduce the exact authentic pictures using pixels and copying it to the digital world have been invented by those who lack the idea of what is inscribed or illustrated by the ink in those paints. the inventors of these technologies lack the mental capabilities to comprehend what is hidden in the pictures or art that their technologies can produce with precision, speed, and accuracy. The original creators of art affect negatively since many people access their art without their involvement hence negatively affecting their financial status.

As described through the article, those individuals and organizations that are bound to benefit through technological invention are those who do not or lack the mental capabilities to produce original contents or those who lack the time and moral standards to look for original and authentic products and only rely or buy what they can see as they want to reduce on cost and save money. Others who would benefit are those who lack the moral standards and self-discipline to desist from illegally reproducing other people's original content.
