This document summarizes a presentation about science and technology. It defines science as the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. It defines technology as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. It then discusses how science and technology have improved transportation, communication, and access to information. Specific examples highlighted from India include its Mars Orbiter Mission and Chandrayaan-1 moon mission. The document also summarizes India's growth in the information technology sector and recent developments in science and technology education.

2. SCIENCE - It is the intellectual and
practical activity encompassing the
systematic study of the structure
and behavior of the physical and
natural world through observation
and experiment.
TECHNOLOGY - It is the application
of scientific knowledge for practical
purposes, especially in industry.

WHAT IS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ?

3. SCIENCE AND TECH

4. HOW DOES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MAKE
THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN?
▸ Science and Technology
has been of a great help to
mankind, to make their
lives better. Technology
provides to us a better
knowledge, faster ways of
locomotion and
communication.
▸ Better Knowledge -
Computers have replaced
books in the present world. A
lot can be learned over the
Internet. It helps in doing
research on information for
Projects quickly rather than
going to the Library. Nowadays
even the Teachers promote
learning over the internet.

6. “▸Faster ways of Locomotion - Nowadays, ways of locomotion such as
car, motorcycle, train, and airplane, (the Automobiles) has facilitated our
lives as opposed to ships in the olden times which used to take a lot of
time to reach the destination along with risks to one's life. The Airplane,
presently the fastest means of travel is very comfortable and safe among
the rest of the ways of locomotion.
▸Communication - When we talk about communication, the television, the
telephone, and the Internet come into our mind.
▸Their uses are essential to the society, and it has become much easier to
communicate by telephone than by mail used in the olden days. The mail
which was a slow means of communication has been replaced by a much
faster means now. People can pay bills by the Internet in a safe way, and
phone familiars instantly.

9. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA.
▸ Mars Orbit Mission :
▸ The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM),
also called Mangalyaan was
launched on 5 November 2013 by
the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO). It is India's
first interplanetary mission making
ISRO the fourth space agency to
reach Mars, after the Soviet
space program, NASA, and the
European Space Agency and the
first Asian nation to reach Mars
orbit, and the first nation to do so
on its first attempt.
▸ Chandrayaan-1 :
▸ On 18 November 2008, the Moon
Impact probe was released from
Chandrayaan-1 at a height of 100
km (62 mi). During its 25 minute
decent, Chandra's Altitudinal
Composition Explorer (CHACE)
recorded evidence of water in 650
mass spectra readings gathered
during this time. On 24
September 2009 Science journal
reported that the Chandrayaan-1
had detected water ice on the
Moon.
▸ People known for
these recent
developments in
Science and
Technologies include
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul
Kalam, Sam Pitroda,
subrahmanyan
chandrasekhar,
M.Visvesvaraya etc.

11. GROWTH OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
IN INDIA IN THE PRESENT WORLD.
▸ India has acquired a
foremost position in the
map of the IT world.
India’s progress in this
sector is quick and
influential, providing the
economy a boost. Indian
service sector, mainly
due to IT has emerged as
the most growing base of
economy.
▸ The use of information
technology in
governance, company,
management, banking,
advertising,
entertainment, and
insurance, and
education, medical,
engineering and
industrial fields is
increasing day by day.
▸ Indian software services
have great demands in
the world. Exports of
software's have earned
India foreign currency in a
big amount. Investors are
attracted to invest in the
IT sector. There is a flow
of FDI in this sector,
giving India required
capital to develop its
economy.

13. “▸Indian Institutes of Information Technology have prepared expert technicians for
whom a demand exists in the world market Software engineers in India have
provided services to the whole world.
▸This progress of Information Technology sector in India has helped Indian economic
growth. Due to this importance of IT sector, Indian government is making policies to
help it grow by providing infrastructure to it. Favorable and liberal policies have been
prepared to attract foreign companies to establish their base in India.
▸Indian government has established Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) in this
direction. From 15th August, 2000, the Information Technology Act has been
implemented.

15. REASON FOR SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA.
▸ Indian science did not suffer from lack of funds but from
unethical practices, the urge to make illegal money, misuse of
power, frivolous publications and patents, faulty promotion
policies, victimization for speaking against wrong or corrupt
practices in the management, sycophancy, and brain drain.
However, India has the fastest growth rates among major
countries. India, together with China, Iran, South Africa and
Brazil are the only developing countries among 31 nations with
97.5% of the world's total scientific productivity. The remaining
162 developing countries contribute less than 2.5%.

THEY ARE USED LESS.

17. CONCLUSION :
▸ To conclude, I strongly agree that technology has
made the world a better place to live. The
computer, the automobile, the telephone, and
various other advancements in this field have
surely been essential to us and I think that the
world has so many things yet to be developed in
order to help the society and make it a better place
to live.
