The pace of science is astonishing. The word 'Science' makes me think of innovative things around me. The arising technology of science has brought about a drastic change in human life. Reaching the apex of life wouldn't have been possible if the ladder of 'science' was never invented. Science and technology has renewed our life teaching us the way to live our life. Time and distance have been overpowered by science.
Due to the expansion of industrialism and technology, more and more aspects of the true beginnings, characteristics and importance of the universe were uncovered. Now is the world where technology draws a line between what is achievable and not for man, it is no longer a wonder as to how your voice goes from Mumbai to London dancing through the air. Many technologies are available in the market today that brings improvement in almost all aspects of development. The invention of the transistor paved the way for more sophisticated advances in technology that make the lives of modern day man and woman a lot easier than before. Abstract Nanotechnology may be considered as one of the milestones in science and technology in the current generation.
Science and technology is basically the study of how social, political, and cultural values affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how these in turn affect society, politics, and culture.
Science has an effect on our lifestyle, appearance, character etc. We would have still been cave men's playing with rocks and wearing leaves as clothes had our ancestors wouldn't have matured and emerged as a social being preferring to live in a well-developed society rather than living in jungles.
Almost every element of our life has been improved because of modern science and technology. If we live in a comfortable home, wearing clothes, sleeping in air-conditioned room, drinking cool water, washing clothes within minutes, grinding spices and using a personal computer we are reaping the benefits of science and technology.
When one piece of hardware or software is created, we can manipulate it for many more uses that our mischievous minds can come up with. There have been many occasions where "One thing led to another". Improvising the world day after the other manufacturing more and more complex things to simplify our lives.
Making work faster, communication easier and globalisation would have been alive as a dream without science.
Microscopes give the knowledge of cells. Now we know that the dots in the sky are stars and planets. Now we are aware about the microscopic organisms and their boon and bane. The knowledge of the different forms of energies, their properties and importance. The information about various elements existing in nature. The mysteries about the creation of various elements are no longer a mystery. The medicines we intake is also a product of science and technology. Looking around almost everything turns out to be an outcome of science and technology.
Without the scientific theories and methods developed mainly in the last few hundred years there would be no electronic devices, spacecraft, micro-surgery or weapons of mass destruction. The products of science and technology have a huge effect on the way we live our lives and how we shape our environment. Imagine going through an average day without using anything powered by electricity and you'll understand how much you are dependent on technology. Science along with human brain has now shown us a way to reach the heavenly bodies and study about them.
Almost everything from games to learning has gone up-to a digital level. Learning becomes easier with the help of new innovative technologies.
Considering all the changes brought about with the help of science and technology we can say that prevalence of science and technology in this situation is a good change for we human beings. Its change captured us and has also helped us a lot to raise our standard of living.
Bio-cultivation, sixth sense technology, usage of non-conventional sources to generate energy, invention of robots (which does shopping, gardening, cleaning and other household chores) genetic engineering, bio-medical engineering (which have proved to be a blessing for various people across the globe) all contribute to the success story of science and technology. Artificial organs which help in reducing the mortality rate and also in spreading happiness around.
The newspapers are filled with new inventions making it all the more simpler and faster to perform day-to-day work.
Science and technology may be partly responsible for many of the problems that confront us today. The problems are the advancement of weapons, bombs, biochemical and nuclear weapon, which brought us violence amongst ourselves and others. Another problem is human dependences on technology, such as the internet, computers, cell phones etc. Yet one of the biggest problems is pollution. These are the ill sides of advancement. But tagging science as a disaster won't be justified as the culprit for this isn't science but its users.
Science gives us a positive attitude towards life. Even if we aren't the part of the solution it remembers us that we are yet a part of the precipitate.
We can see we have not only made achievements in the creation of new technologies, and the understanding of our earth and universe, but we in turn implement these new technologies in our daily life. The possibilities of inventions are endless; especially if you're one of those that think WE are merely a small experiment in the vast laboratory called the Universe.
Technology will continue to grow every moment, every day, every month and every year. Soon the technology we have now will be considered antiques and no longer be used anywhere. Some think that eventually they will hit a point where they can't progress any further. But as long as there is technology we will continue to improve it.
