THE ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR HUMAN LIFE

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 cancer or even to book a cab or train ticket. In fact, without technology which is integrated with science, we cannot imagine our life. One of the most important aspects of Science and technology is that it has solutions to the difficult problems, the problems which are potential to become major bottlenecks to the overall growth of the country. Some of the problems could be health aspects, standard of education, availability of healthy food and safe drinking water and 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 field like development of nuclear technology, defense technology, development of satellites, biotechnology, meteorological science, space technology, nanotechnology, wireless communication, etc.

All these technology, in turn, provide favorable conditions for the country’s growth and increase healthy competitiveness nationally and also internationally.
