Science & Technology

The evolution of science is like a boon to the world, as human beings come to know a lot about the world they are living in including the activities they indulge in.

Furthermore, the development of technology along with the advancement in Science helps to bring in a revolution in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, education, information and technology, and many more
In the present world, if we think of any sort of development, then the presence of science and technology cannot be ignored.

What is Science?
Science fundamentally is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the natural and physical world through observations and experiments.

Study of science evolved with the civilization of human beings.

What is Technology?
Technology (which is basically derived from the Greek word ‘technologia’) is an art, skill or ability, which is used to create and develop products and acquire knowledge.

Scientists used their knowledge to develop technology and then used technology to develop Science; so, because of this reason science and technology are an integrated term in today’s world.

Consider the following points to understand the relationship between Science and Technology −

Contribution of Science to Technology
Contribution of Technology to Science
Let us discuss these points in brief.

Contribution of Science to Technology
Let us now understand how Science has contributed to Technology −

Science as a direct source of new technological ideas
For example, innovation and development medical instruments; nuclear technology, radar system, etc.

Science and technology is a topic that encompasses science, technology, and the interactions between the two. … Science may drive technological development, by generating demand for new instruments to address a scientific question, or by illustrating technical possibilities previously unconsidered.

Science and technology and innovation each represent a successively larger category of activities which are highly interdependent but distinct.
