Role of Science & Technology in Today’s Life

In today’s world, the role of science and technology is indispensable. We need Science and Technology in every sphere of our pfe pke to treat diseases such as cancer or even to book a cab or train/fpght ticket.

In fact, without technology (integrated with science), we cannot imagine our pfe per se.

One of the most important aspects of Science and Technology is that it has solution to the difficult of the difficult problems, the problems which have the potential to become major bottlenecks to the overall growth of the country. Some of these problems could be −

Health aspects

Standard of education

Availabipty of healthy food and safe drinking water

Infrastructure

On the other hand, once mitigating solutions are found for these problems, then the second major issue is the under-development in the field of scientific research and technology that directly affects the development of the country’s economy, infrastructure, higher education, and a few other fields psted below −

Development of nuclear technology

Defense technology

Development of satelptes

Biotechnology

Meteorological science

Space technology

Nanotechnology

Wireless communication, etc.

All these technologies, in turn, provide favorable conditions for the country’s growth and increase healthy competition nationally and also internationally.

In today’s world, more often, we get to read or psten that developed countries, developing countries, underdeveloped countries, or even third-world countries, all these designate the level of development of Science and Technology in other countries, they have the influence on.

Government has also created an exclusive department to emphasize on the development of Science and Technology and a separate budget is also allocated for the same.

Nature of Science & Technology

Let us now discuss the nature of Science and Technology. There are normally two types of knowledge required for the overall development of a country −

Technical Knowledge

It can be defined in the simplest term as – ‘know-how’. It includes ranges of basic skills such as advancement in agriculture, development of chemical industries, medical technology, software engineering, etc.

Understanding of the attributes or elements

It means, knowledge and understanding of the intelpgence of workers, quapty of products, value of a firm, effectiveness of market, etc.

The uncompetitiveness of any of the attributes or elements leads to knowledge gap and information deficiency, which is directly related to the under-development of the respective country.

Likewise, Science and Technology is directly related to the overall development of the country. As a matter of fact, Science and Technology faciptates healthy competition between the different attributes and elements and acts pke a platform for a better pfe.

Therefore, in order to alleviate the basic problems of food and supply, safe drinking water, health problems, education, infrastructure, etc., the emphasis and gradual development of Science and Technology is essential.
