Science,Engineering and Technology

Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having
relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later
you are reduced to a factor.
~Ellen Goodman, "

Throughout global history, human have ability to take knowledge of using tools and machines to do any
tasks efficiently and discover new methods to improve their lives.Science and technology has always
been around from the begining of time ...........................t evolves from the everyday efforts of people trying to
improve their way of life ...As it becomes evident from historical observations, research
was creation of the curiosity which is caused by the human nature.. Throught out the history humankind
has developed and utilized tools , machines and tecniques...

Definations have been given for Science , enineering and technology
because they are all different in their own rite even though the three are almost indistinguishable ...

The distinction between science, engineering and technology is not always clear. Science is the reasoned
investigation or study of phenomena, aimed at discovering enduring principles among elements of the phenomenal
world by employing formal techniques such as the scientific method. Technologies are not usually
exclusively products of science, because they have to satisfy requirements such as utility, usability and safety.

Engineering is the goal-oriented process of designing and making tools and systems to exploit natural
phenomena for practical human means, often (but not always) using results and techniques from science.
The development of technology may draw upon many fields of knowledge, including scientific, engineering,
mathematical, linguistic, and historical knowledge, to achieve some practical result.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.
We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later
this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

So do you think technology is a prescription for disaster ????
