TERM PAPERinSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY(Science and Technology: The world of work and leisure)

Prepared by:Mario Pol BaileIntroduction:Scienceis very important to our lives now because it basically studies the things happening around us and within us from ascientificpoint of view; it looks for facts to explain things. This means that it has helped us to understand things and that has actually lead to the variousinventions. These inventionshave made our lives easier and it helped human beings in evolving from being cave dwellers to constructing skyscrapers. It has also revolutionized the field of medicalscience, even a few centuries back so many people died due to various diseases for which we now have medicines. We cannot just restrictthe applicationsofscienceto certain fields, it is everywhere and it developed the principles that we use in doing our daily work.The role that science and technology has played in improving the life conditions across the globe is vivid, but the benefit has to been harvested maximum by all countries. Science and technology has made life a lot easier and also a lot better with the advancement of medicines and analysis on diseases. Apart from the medical side, there has been remarkable development in education, communication, agriculture, industry etc. the global economic output has increased 17 folds in the 20thcentury. In spite of the advancements in almost all sectors, still the world is not free from hunger, disease, pollution, illiteracy and poverty. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened. By the 21stcentury, with the right applications of research, development, and implications of science and technology a major difference could be brought about.Discussion:

Science and technology is important for our basic understanding of its nature and significance in modern times it is being important to be educated in connection with this. This gives beneficial impacts of innovations in society. Science and technology considered as the world of work and leisure because we as a human we all have needs and in order to meet it we use this science and technology for us to be convenient in our daily lives.Balanced perspective to both benefits and problems with modern science and technology innovations alleviates human and social cost of facile optimism and resolute pessimism about social consequences of science and technology.Science and technology is very important in contemporary society in military, economic, medical, and so many others that can give also leisure in life. Science and technology it is the knowledge of human fabrication.The most meaningful contribution of science could make towards greater social responsibility would be to urge mankind to get back to the harsh realities of our globe abandon the dreamlands and take on realities of our finite world.

Science has lost sight of its basic responsibilities to society, taking refuge behind quick technological fixes.Mans future as well as that of the globe hinges not only on a reaffirmation and reformulation of the true role of science but also on the manner which we strive to reach legitimate goals. It is important to attain a restriction of the procedural framework for scientific endeavors. ConclusionWithout proper implementation of science and technology, no nation could grow and all those nations that were labelled as low in growth have proved where they stand today and all that has happened only because of science and technology.Science and technology became connected to leisure because Leisure-time activities and leisure-time mobility have developed a wider range through the use of technology, technologies that had originally been developed for commercial, scientific or military purposes have been (and will continue to be) developed for leisure-time use. New technologies often have a phase of leisure-time use in which they are optimized. Other technological changes are specifically aimed at the leisure sector, and, technological devices serve as prototypes for models that are adapted for or used during leisure time.We as citizens of the nation and who hold equal responsibility for the growth should equip our youth with all possible facilities for their research thirst and support and motivate them, as the future of our nation is in their hands and they could get our nation to more advanced levels than what it is today.ReactionDevelopment is required in every individual to every nation in all aspects and for development to happen, science and technology go hand in hand. Basically science is known as the study of knowledge, which is made into a system and depends on analyzing and understanding facts. Technology is basically the application of this scientific knowledge.For any successful economy, particularly in todays quest for knowledge based economies, science, technology and engineering are the basic requisites.If nations do not implement science and technology, then the chances of getting themselves developed becomes minimal and thus could be even rated as an undeveloped nation. Science and Technology is associated in all means with modernity and it is an essential tool for rapid development.Modernization in every aspect of life is the greatest example of the implementation of science and technology in every nation. With the introduction of modern gadgets in every walk of life, life has become simple and this is possible only because of implementing science and technology together. Without having modern equipments in all sectors, be it in medicines, infrastructure, aviation, electricity, information technology or any other field, the advancement and benefits that we face today would not have been possible.A nation who is not able to prosper on these grounds would never be able to sustain the lives there and may have to solely depend on other nations for the basic requirements. Such is the influence of science and technology for the development of a nation.Referencehttp://www.blurtit.com/1021683/5-importance-of-science-in-our-daily-lifehttp://www.colby.edu/stshttps://targetjobs.co.uk/career-sectors/retail-buying-and-merchandising/286465-product- technology-and-science-area-of-work
