on september 17, a "bb machine (pager)" explosion occurred in lebanon. this incident not only highlights the challenges brought by technological development, but also reveals the important role of technology in social confrontation. in lebanese society, hezbollah members generally abandon smartphones and turn to pagers and walkie-talkies to avoid being monitored and tracked, especially after the commander was "targeted and eliminated" by the israeli army, these technologies have become their security tools. however, this dependence has brought new security risks.

the explosion occurred at a funeral for the victims of the explosion on the 17th, which further highlighted the special nature of the pager. it is not only a communication tool, but also a symbol of power that can directly affect life and destiny. such an incident once again triggered people's thinking about technology and power, and also reminded us that the complex relationship between the development of science and technology and social conflicts is inevitable.

experts have pointed out that the attack on hezbollah's electronic equipment in lebanon "can be regarded as a new tactic" aimed at turning hezbollah from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive. hezbollah will not be able to launch an effective attack on northern israel in the short term, which may mean that the interaction between technological development and social conflict will bring about a new situation.

as the times change, the relationship between technology and power continues to evolve, which will continue to affect social development and future patterns. we need to think rationally to understand the meaning of technology and social significance, and find better solutions.
