The second part of the 20th century has brought a number of technical innovations. For example, the transistor was invented in 1948. this piece of electronic equipment found wide use in space technology, computers, transistors, radios, medical instruments, TV sets—wherever the precise control is needed. The invention of ICs (integral circuits) in 1958 brought the second industrial revolution.
A century is a long period for scientific and technological progress, as it is rather rapid. Millions of investigations, the endless number of outstanding discoveries have been made. The 20th century had several names that were connected with a certain era in science and technology. At first it was called “the atomic age” due to the discovery of the splitting of the atom. Then it became the age of “the conquest of space” when for the first time in the history of mankind a man overcame the gravity and entered the Universe. And now we live in “the information era” when the computer network embraces the globe and connects not only the countries and space stations but a lot of people all over the world. All these things prove the power and the greatest progressive role of science in our life.
You are probably familiar with the traditional branches of science such as chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, etc. but what about these newer fields?
Genetic engineering: the study of the artificial manipulation of the make-up of living things;
molecular biology: the study of the structure and function of the organic molecules associated with living organisms;
cybernetics: the study of the way information is moved and controlled by the brain or by machinery;
information technology: the study of technology related to the transfer of information (computers, digital electronics, telecommunications);
bioclimatology: the study of climate as it affects humans;
geopolitics: the study of the way geographical factors help to explain the basis of the power of nation states;
nuclear engineering: the study of the way nuclear power can be made useful;
cryogenics: the study of physical systems at temperatures less than 183*C;
astrophysics: the application of physical laws and theories to stars and galaxies.
But every medal has its reverse. And the rapid scientific progress has aroused a number of problems that are a matter of our great concern. These are ecological problems, the safety of nuclear power stations, the nuclear war threat, and the responsibility of a scientist.
