If we can create new weapons everyday that destroy things. Why not create for a purpose that help to cure people.

Is there such things where technology are actually develop to improve the lives of human, Or find cure?

While in actual fact,some of these new weapons have found civilian usage. The nuclear reactor would be a pretty good example. The nuclear race to develop a nuclear bomb during WWII has led to millions of people enjoying low-cost,low pollution electricity. No doubt,nuclear power has its flaws but I feel that its one area where military technology has actually helped to better man’s quality of life.

Actually, it is easier to destroy then to built. It is very easy to kill a person, but there is no known way to bring the dead back to life.

Not always one way, list of notable cases

Radar was initially developed for detection of incoming bombers, now used in commercial airliners. The microwave oven is also a consequence of this technology

Public key encryption was claimed to have been developed by the NSA for military communications. Now strong encryption is in general use, such as for financial transactions

Jet engines were developed for fighter craft by Britain and Germany during the Second World War

The Space Race was based on technology, in particular rockets, designed for nuclear warfare.

The first computers, Colossus and ENIAC were developed for codebreaking or the calculation of ballastic trajectories

Roman roads were designed for the rapid transport of troops, but were used by civilians for millennia afterwards

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed under the United States Department of Defense for military navigational purposes. The system has been released for free civilian use, e.g. in land, sea and air navigation, cartography and land surveying.

Cyanoacrylate was developed as a replacement for World War II airplane gun sights, but was too sticky to be useful. It is now commonly sold as super glue.

Active Sonar was developed during World War 1 to facilitate the discovery of enemy submarines, which led to medical ultrasonography.
