Introduction: The
present age is the age of Science. Science has influenced every walk of life.
Today man cannot live even for a while without the use of one or the other of
its inventions. Science has provided us with all possible comforts and has
increased our happiness.
Electricity:
Electricity is the first wonder of modern science. It is the driving force of
modern civilization. Without it no machines work, and so no production is
possible.
Recreation and information: For recreation and information science has invented radio,
television, cinema, satellite, internet etc.
Computer:
Computer is one of the greatest wonders of modern Science. It is a substitute
for the human brain. In every sphere of life man has been using computer.
Nuclear energy: Now man can make atom bomb, hydrogen bomb, neutron bomb, missiles
etc. with the help of this energy. Man may use this power either in destructive
of constructive work.
Space travel: To land
on the moon was out of man’s imagination just a few years ago. But man has done
this impossible work successfully by dint of science.
Agriculture: Science
has greatly contributed to the field of agriculture. We have got tractors,
pesticides, hybrid crops. So though our land is decreasing, our production is
increasing.
Medical Science: Science has lessened human sufferings. Biopsy and Ultrasonography,
E.C.G, Ultraviolet ray, X-ray and Penicillin are the wonders of modern science.
Besides, there are many other inventions of modern science that are used against
many fatal diseases.
Communication: Telephone, telex, fax, wireless, telegram, e-mail, speedy
vehicles, plane are great wonders in the field of communication. They have
brought the world closer to us. We can send news from one corner of the world
to the other within a moment.
Though
science plays a great role in our everyday life. it has bad effects, too. Man
has created atom bombs which can wipe out mankind and the civilization within a
few seconds. Smoke from mills and factories pollutes our environment. Thus it
endangers our life.
Science
may be a blessing or a curse for us. It entirely depends on man’s will. As we
cannot do even for a day without the help of science, we should try to apply it
for the welfare of mankind.
