The Science of Today is The Technology of Tomorrow!

Looking to the age when a man led a life like a savage, we notice how far we have come. Similarly, the evolution of mankind is truly commendable. One of the major driving forces behind this is science. It makes us think about the wonder of science and how it has proven to be such a boon in our lives and for society. Most importantly, science has helped develop a great civilization. All the advancements that man has been able to make are with the help of science only. However, it won’t be wrong to say that science is a two-edged sword. It comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Science Today Technology Tomorrow

To say that science has a lot of benefits would be an understatement. The benefits of science are not just limited to one sphere, but it has proven useful in various spheres of the world. When we talk about innovations in science and engineering, electricity is the first thing that comes to mind. It has helped power the world through its development.

That is to say, all the credit goes to science, as it weren’t for science, life in the 21st century would be impossible. It is very hard to imagine a world without computers, medicines, televisions, AC’s, automobiles and many more. In addition to this science has contributed largely to the medical field and educational field.

As it is said that ‘there is no rainbow without rain’, similarly science has many drawbacks of its own. We should always remember that anything in excess is poison, and science is no different. If it falls into wrong hands, it can be proved destructive on a massive level.

These are deadly enough to cause war and wipe out full-fledged countries. Another drawback is the pollution caused by it. As the world became more industrialised because of science, pollution levels increased. All high-scale industries are now polluting natural resources like water, air, wood, and more.

Subsequently, this industrial growth has increased rates of unemployment as machines are replacing human labor. So, we see how it also has a considerable amount of drawbacks as well.
