Science in Everyday Life

The advancements in science have brought about many changes in our lives. The civilizations have progressed leaps and bounds. Science has changed the human attitude towards nature and the universe. It has made mankind confident to face the challenges that the cosmos throws at us.

Science has made our everyday lives very comfortable. In the area of transport, we no longer have to depend upon the slow bullock-carts or the power of our legs, we now have trains, aeroplanes, ships, cars, and scooters to take us from one place to another.

Means of communications have vastly improved. Thanks to various advancements made in science we have come a long way from carrier pigeons and messenger boys to fax machines, Teletext, mobile phones, the Internet, and E-Mails. Computers have today taken over the function of a letter-writer, secretary, postal department, and information disseminator. At a press of a button a person sitting in his office in New York can receive all the information that he requires from any office around the world Communications have also brought about a sea change in the disaster warning systems around the world. Communication satellites moving in their orbits above the earth’s atmosphere can forecast many days in advance any cyclone, tidal changes in the sea, or an eruption of a volcano. They can also transmit the distress signals of a ship or an aircraft to the authorities in times of need

There was a time when the means of entertainment comprised of an evening at a local dance, music, or puppet performance, today we prefer to spend the evening at a cinema hall, or in front of a television set. This transformation has been possible because of the invention of the television and moving pictures.

Agriculture, water resources, energy needs, and medicine are no longer dependent upon the ancient methods. New developments and new technologies have made growing crops, generating electricity, and curing many complex diseases very easy. New implements, new medicines, and new methods have made agriculture, power generation, and medical treatment more efficient.

To conclude we can say that science is the magic genie of today. It can do wonders for us if used carefully. It will, on the contrary, bring destruction and ruin if used in the wrong manner..🌍🥀👀
