Fundamentals of Science and Technology
Introduction
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 into. 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 as a source of engineering
Most of the technical knowledge used in the designing and development of tools and
techniques is actually an outcome of ‘engineering science’.
Science has also helped in the development of human skills. This is one of the fundamental
contributions of Science.
Contribution of Technology to Science
Consider the following points to understand the contribution of Technology to Science:
Technology as a source of scientific challenges
The development in the field of technology paves way for research and development in the
field of Science. For example, space science is one of them. Technological development
likewise indirectly stimulates basic research in the field of science.
Instrumentation and measurement techniques
Development of advanced instruments facilitated scientists to measure the distance between
sun and earth, the intensity of sun’s rays, the revolution of celestial bodies, internal problems
of human beings, life of a bridge, etc.
