In today’s world, the role of science and technology is indispensable. We need Science and Technology in every sphere of our life like to treat diseases such as ca
ncer or even to book a cab or train/flight ticket.
In fact, without technology (integrated with science), we cannot imagine our life per se.
One of the most important aspects of Science and Technology is that it has solution to the difficult of the difficult problems, the problems which have the potential to become major bottlenecks to the overall growth of the country. Some of these problems could be −
1 Health aspects
2 Standard of education
3 Availability of healthy food and safe drinking water
Infrastructure
On the other hand, once mitigating solutions are found for these problems, then the second major issue is the under-development in the field of scientific research and technology that directly affects the development of the country’s economy, infrastructure, higher education, and a few other fields listed below
Development of nuclear technology
Defense technology
Development of satellites
Biotechnology
Meteorological science
Space technology
Nanotechnology
Wireless communication, etc.
All these technologies, in turn, provide favorable conditions for the country’s growth and increase healthy competition nationally and also internationally.
In today’s world, more often, we get to read or listen that developed countries, developing countries, underdeveloped countries, or even third-world countries, all these designate the level of development of Science and Technology in other countries, they have the influence on.
Government has also created an exclusive department to emphasize on the development of Science and Technology and a separate budget is also allocated for the same.
Nature of Science & Technology
Let us now discuss the nature of Science and Technology. There are normally two types of knowledge required for the overall development of a country −
Technical Knowledge
It can be defined in the simplest term as – ‘know-how’. It includes ranges of basic skills such as advancement in agriculture, development of chemical industries, medical technology, software engineering, etc.
Understanding of the attributes or elements
It means, knowledge and understanding of the intelligence of workers, quality of products, value of a firm, effectiveness of market, etc.
Likewise, Science and Technology is directly related to the overall development of the country. As a matter of fact, Science and Technology facilitates healthy competition between the different attributes and elements and acts like a platform for a better life.
Therefore, in order to alleviate the basic problems of food and supply, safe drinking water, health problems, education, infrastructure, etc., the emphasis and gradual development of Science and Technology is essential.
