“It is the destiny of man to move forward, His whole being is a desire to know,
Doing the things he cannot do, and only the answers
Accomplishing the tasks that could not be done, to the ultimate questions,
Reaching farther than anyone would imagine. Will ever satisfy him.

Birthed under a star, only touching unknown shores,
He cannot rest until he is among them, will his soul be fulfilled.
Reaching them, touching them, Time will pass and bend to his will.
Feeling the power of the Universe. No power known can stop him,
Louise: "How did you get here?"
Johnny: "Well, basically, there was this little dot, right? And the dot went bang and the bang expanded. Energy formed into matter, matter cooled, matter lived, the amoeba to fish, to fish to fowl, to fowl to frog, to frog to mammal, the mammal to monkey, to monkey to man"
~From the movie Naked.
Funny isn't it? But that's the truth that's how man has developed with the help of Science. According to Oliver Wendell Holmes, “Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor”.
This is the age of science. Science has made man's life and living more comfortable. It has solved the problems of time and distance. It has made the world happier. It has made life easier and worth living. In olden days our fore­fathers had no benefit of scientific inventions. They used to go from one place to another on foot or in bullock carts. They used to light earthen lamps in their houses. Radio, telephone and television were unknown to them. There were no airplanes in those days and the idea of the conquest of the moon was considered a cock and bull story.
Science has revolutionised human life and has done great service to humanity. In the field of transport, now we have cars, buses, tramways, railways, aeroplanes and ships. In a car we can travel with great comfort. Buses are an important means of public transport these days. Railways are the cheapest and safest means of transport. They pass through deserts and forests and carry passengers and goods to far off destinations. Aeroplanes are the fastest means of transport. There are supersonic aeroplanes, which fly faster than sound. Now you can have your breakfast in Delhi and your lunch in London. There are large ships which carry passengers and goods across the seas and oceans. Time and distances are no problem. The world has grown smaller. The credit for all these achievements goes to science.
Science has influenced our means of communications as well in a big way. In the olden days messages took months to reach distant places. Messengers and horse-riders carried messages. But now we have telephones, wireless, radios and televisions. On a telephone you can talk to your friends, relatives and business partners at a distant place in half a minute. With the help of wireless apparatus, messages may be conveyed to far off places in no time. Radios give us news from all the corners of the world. They are a source of enjoyment and recreation as well. On the television screen you can see happenings of far off lands. These marvels of science have changed our way of life.
It's a lovely day when you
'search' the humorous way.
Searching for information
Is as simple as A - B - C.
Sorry to boast but I'm the host,
A hobby in land of the free.
The answer to a small problem
Is found by me quite easily.
All on the net ~ not one regret
Scene is set on my friendly PC.

One plus one - the answer is two.
Two plus one - the answer is three.
No need for a high I.Q.
Just trust in modern technology!

The Internet makes the world smaller. The ability to communicate and exchange information instantaneously and across vast distances has enabled more individuals and businesses to participate in the economy, regardless of their location. Large companies can connect with employees, suppliers, and partners around the globe, and small businesses can find their customers anywhere in the world. Businesses can hire knowledge workers almost regardless of where they are, greatly expanding employment opportunities for people in the United States, and giving developing nations the ability to become economic powerhouses by providing information technology services to the rest of the world. The Internet, along with other computer technologies, is literally enabling some developing countries to "leapfrog" the industrial revolution and jump straight to the Internet Age.
Our life has become more comfortable. In the summer electric fans provide us cool breezes. Coolers and air condi­tioners cool our home, offices and public halls and make our life more comfortable. Refrigerators prepare ice-cream for us. In winter we use room-heaters to warm our rooms. We use electric iron to press our clothes. With the help of water-heater we get hot water for our wash and bath. In our kitchen we use electric stoves, hot plates and electric kettles. These apparatuses make cooking easier. Call-bells in our houses are operated by electricity. Electric bulbs light our houses and streets. A large number of factories are run by electric power.
Science has conquered diseases. Wonderful medicines have been invented to prevent and cure diseases. There are sulpha drugs to cure many dreadful diseases. Medicines for treating tuberculosis successfully have been invented. Tuber­culosis is no longer an incurable disease. The discovery of X-ray and radium has made new advances in the field of medicine. Now defects, deformations, tumours and injuries inside the body of a man can be found out with the help of X-rays and radium. Another grand success in this direction is plastic surgery. Now it has become possible to transplant various parts of the human body such as kidneys and hearts, etc.
Vaccination has made small-pox a thing of the past. Injections and inoculations work as a guarantee against an attack of cholera, plague or typhoid. In olden days epidemics used to take a heavy toll of life, but now scientific methods and medicines have brought them under control.
Atomic power is being used to run huge factories. Atomic power stations are becoming very popular. Scientists in the atomic field have made valuable contributions to medical science. Their researches have resulted in easy detection and Cure of certain diseases.
Science has made our defence more effective. Many new weapons have been invented for the use of our defence forces. They have increased our defence preparedness.
Man's life has become easier, happier and more comfortable (because of scientific machines which save labour and they do things in less time. It is with the help of science that man reached the moon. Several successful flights have been to this only satellite of our world.
Science has made the free from superstitions and has made man more analytical and reasoning. As it is said by ~Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776 “Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition”. It has taken the world community out of the shell nationalism and has opened up new vistas of truth
It is rightly said by ~Bertrand Russell “Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cosy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have splendour of their own”.
