What is Science and
Technology?
Science and Technology
Science is a systematic study that builds knowledge through observations and experiments.
Technology is the application of a set of techniques used for practical purposes.
What makes science and technology important?
- Connection to people's lives
- Surpassing curiosity
- More efficient learning
How does science and technology affect society?
- Drastically changing the means of communication and lifestyle of people in a positive note.
- Technological advancement from modernized scientific ideas benefits the society.
How did science and technology develop?
The process of science evolves along with advances of knowledge and technology. Although science and technology is a double edged sword since there is a gain in productivity yet more problems come with it.
Development of Modern Society
- The growth of the modern society came with the development and improvement of the human's further understanding of science and technology. The development of modern science grew rapidly as many great minds from the past contributed on the discoveries and knowledge that we still have and use today.
The Theory of Relativity by Einstein is still being used as basis in the law of complex physics. Einstein stated simple is as simple as it gets, but no simpler. It is a statement that reflects that in order to understand what need or wanted to be known, a human must adjust and adapt to achieve its goal.
As of today, modern science and technology still grows rapidly through the years and it all started with the help of the development of breakthrough of the internet.
What does modern technology mean?
Modern Technology
Modern technology is basically the advanced era of older generations of technology.
Modern technology involves
systematic research but its outcome
is more concrete that science.
