Science, Technology and War
Human beings, who once were cavemen, used tools or weapons made up of stones or bronze or iron to hunt, dig and cut something in the past. The same human being has become the master of modern civilization and is even able to challenge the nature. It has only been possible due to the development of science and technology.
Science is such a subject that explains the things happening in the world. First science gives us an idea, and then different experiments are carried out. If the experiments happen to be true, it gives birth to new technology. Therefore, technology is the way of putting scientific inventions or theories or discoveries into practical use in trade and industries.
Science in general, is the study of living and non-living things. It has no such field which is out of reach. Modern inventions like computer, TV, phone, jet, vehicle etc. have uplifted the standard human life and have made it much advanced. It has changed man into god providing a wonderful comfortable life.
Although man has progressed in every field- farming, education, transport or technology, he is always in panic. Unfortunately he has become the servant of science. He has to be afraid of his own inventions. We don’t know when the bombs or missiles may fall onto us; when the history of the Second World War repeats and when a single child becomes a victim of drugs.
