2. Meaning of science
• Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a
systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge
in the form of testable explanations and predictions about
the universe. In an older and closely related meaning,
"science" also refers to a body of knowledge itself, of the
type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. A
practitioner of science is known as a scientist.
• Since classical antiquity, science as a type of knowledge has
been closely linked to philosophy. In the early modern
period the words "science" and "philosophy of nature"
were sometimes used interchangeably. By the 17th century,
natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science")
was considered a separate branch of philosophy.
3. Meaning of technology
• Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning
of hand"; and -λογία, -logia) is the making, modification,
usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques,
crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to
solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a
problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output
relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to
the collection of such tools, including machinery,
modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies
significantly affect human as well as other animal species'
ability to control and adapt to their natural environments.
The term can either be applied generally or to specific
areas: examples include construction technology, medical
technology, and information technology.
