3. Introduction
• Science: a systematic enterprise that builds and
organizes knowledge in the form of testable
explanations and predictions about nature and the
universe.
• Technology: the collection of techniques, methods or
processes used in the production of goods or
services or in the accomplishment of objectives,
such as scientific investigation, or any other
consumer demands.
• So Science and Technology is a double edge sword
it cuts both ways depending on how it is used
science and technology can make or destroy us. It is
essential that we must know and understand its
advantages and disadvantages.

4. Merits of science and
technology
• Communication: From hand-held computers to
touch phones, technological advancements in the
field of communication are endless. The means and
the modes of communication are unlimited. There
are some technological benefits are like Speed,
Clarity etc.
• Education: Technological advancements in the field
of education are fast evolving. Today, e-learning is
a familiar and popular term. Some of the benefits
of technology in this field are: Personalized learning
experience, Immediate response, Immediate
response etc.

5. Merits of science and
technology
• Healthcare: The marriage between medicine
and technology has reshaped healthcare and
revolutionized the medical profession. Some of
the major benefits are: Secure environment,
Flexibility, Cost- and time-saving, Medical
devices, Vulnerable population.
• Society: Today technology pervades almost all
aspects of our daily life from shopping,
banking, making travel arrangements to
university admissions.

6. • Pollution: One of the biggest concerns about
modern technology today is pollution.
Vehicles and major manufacturing plants are
releasing ever-increasing amounts of carbon
dioxide, and that may greatly contribute to
global warming.
• Fewer Jobs: As computing technology and
robotic mechanisms become increasingly
advanced, fewer jobs are available due to the
fact that machines can perform a task more
efficiently at a quicker pace.

7. • Social Isolation: Modern technology has made it
possible to connect more frequently, email and text
messaging do not lend themselves to intimate
revelations or in-depth conversations. These are
things that may be necessary to combat loneliness
and isolation.
• Competency: With spell check and automatic
technology, simple knowledge and calculations are
done for most people. While this does save time and
effort, it causes many individuals to become
dependent on technology, which can be problematic
in situations without modern advancement.

8. • Behavioral Problems: Because of the amount of
time children spend watching television, views
and behaviors are affected. One example is
evidenced in a study by researchers at the
University of Michigan that spanned 15 years.
It found a link between childhood television
viewing and adult violent behavior. Other
studies found links between TV viewing and
smoking, drinking and risky sexual behavior.

9. Conclusion
• Science and Technology can cause people's
communication poor. Technology can make
people lazy. The youth has also been very
much addicted to gadgets that they get to
spend too much time with it and creates
their own world.
• So If people of the world use these inventions
and innovations in a right way, we are all
going to be benefited out of these but if the
motive of a human being is not positive,
surely they will face the science and
technology's disadvantages.
