Science and Technology

In recent years scientific and technological developments have greatly changed the life on our planet. We have got better understanding of the world around us and higher standards of living.

Today science and technology are closely connected. Many modern technologies such as nuclear power and space flights depend on science. Each advance in science creates new opportunities for developing better products for everyday life. In its turn, technology provides science with new instruments for research.

Technology can give us the ways in which people use discoveries for different aims. It satisfies their needs and desires, changes the environment and improves their lives. For all human history men and women have invented tools, machines and techniques to make their lives easier. When we speak of technology, today, we are looking at it in a much narrower sense. We mean industrial technology or the technology that began about 200 years ago. It was the time when the power-driven machines were developed and the number of factories began to grow. Thus, the mass production of goods has created the basis for our modern society.

Today we say that we live in an age of science and technology. According to statistics, 90% of all scientists lived and worked in the 1970s. This scientific activity has brought new ideas, processes and inventions to our life.
