Life quality and socio-economic conditions have improved dramatically over the last century due to the rapid advancement and innovation of modern technologies, which have evolved from the fruitful research of scientists. It will continue to grow throughout the twenty-first century and beyond and reach every corner of the globe without ambiguities. Scientists research and innovate ideas, technology, and tools for enhancing life quality, productivity,economy, and environment. However, inappropriate implementation, strategy, and design could drive society and individuals backwards. Recently, humans have encountered severe and periodic natural catastrophes, such as intense hot and cold climates, deluges, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides, droughts, wildfires, pandemics, etc., as well as nation-and society-driven riots, wars, espionage, and social phobia, where modern tools and innovations employed.

Besides, detrimental events are caused by environmental pollution and global warming and are triggered by human activities and abusing of modern innovations and science. This study qualitatively explores the most influential impacts of contemporary research and innovation in different fields on society and individuals by investigating the recent relevant research and events. It is revealed that modern innovations and technology have severe detrimental impacts on society and individuals if they are abused and executed recklessly. This study will aid in reducing and understanding the harmful effects of research and innovation on society, ultimately enhancing social health and progress.
