Science is a way of life. Science is perspective. Science
is about learn new things. Science is free thinking. Science is something about
seeking dreams. In the daily life of a man science
is visible. For instance, he can now travel much faster and more comfortably
than in the past. Bullock carts in villages and horse carriages in town are
being replaced by tractors, trucks auto-carriages in and cars.
Invention of steam engine revolutionized
travel. Then came the sensational invention of aero-planes.
Similarly, quick means of communication have
brought the peoples of the world together. We can talk to any person through
telephone and mobiles. Electronic mail (email) has made the
transmission of any message across internet to any person in this world.
Further,
it has made the use of radio both as a means of information and recreation. In
times of distress, wireless telegraphy renders extraordinary service. A plane
or ship in danger can at once contact on wireless the nearest aerodrome or port
and get timely help. The invention of television is one of the most
important event in human history. It enables men to see peoples, images
thousands of miles away from them.
Cinematography
is also a unique gift of science. The talkies have definitely taken the place
of the theatre and a large scale cinema industry has sprung up.The trade and commerce have
got a new life by the establishment of huge industrial plants. One may feel
surprised if one sees how modern factories and mills run and how their products
are exported to every corner of the world. The invention of medicines for
severe diseases is a significant contribution of Science in the field of health
and wellness. Plague, small-pox, cholera, leprosy, typhoid and even
tuberculosis are no long terrible disease now.
Human body has been thoroughly studied and
most of the diseases are controlled by life-giving medicines and miraculous
surgery. Plastic surgery can make an ugly woman a beautiful lady. But there is
another side of the picture too. What science gives by one hand if takes away
by another. For example, the invention of machinery and large scale production
has resulted in insanitary living conditions, unfair distribution of wealth,
strikes and unemployment.
The invention of atomic and hydrogen bombs has
threatened the peace of the world. It is due to science that today man is so
much lost in materialistic welfare. Thus, the
importance of science in our life cannot be denied. However, it should be used
with care and caution. It should only be used for the welfare of humanity.
