1. Science
Science in our daily life:
In the history of mankind, advent of Science is the greatest blessing.
Science has come to relieve mankind from sufferings, ignorance and
to control nature. It has been defined as a systematized body of
wisdom and knowledge which can give rise to greater and greater
inventions. Science has also been known as a faithful servant of man
who serves all his life and as per the orders of man. Science can be
harmful if we misuse it.
Science has brought about far-reaching changes in every sphere of
our daily life. Now everybody can afford to avail the benefits of
luxuries and comforts created by Science. Science has made goods
cheap and readily available and has brought them within reach of
every individual. All kinds of gadgets of music, entertainment and
communication have been brought to our door with the help of
Science. Surely, the life of man is very different from what it used
to be few years back. Truly, Science has given ears to the deaf, eyes
to the blind and limbs to the crippled.
2. In everyday live, we have to communicate with different friends and
relatives, various official people and for general purposes. And many
people to be contacted can be at very far off distances. However,
time and distance both have been conquered by Science. Whether we
want to communicate or travel, both are possible within seconds. For
communication, we have telephones, mobiles, wireless, E-mail, VSATs
and internet etc., For faster traveling, aeroplanes are being used.
Railways have made journeys swift, safe and comfortable. Entire
world has shrunk into a small family. Modern ships have conquered
turbulent waters and are perfectly safe for traveling and
transportation of goods.
Health is wealth. This has been made possible with modern machines.
Science has invented ways to peep inside the human body to tackle
diseases of human beings through X-ray machines. Diseases can
easily be detected and various tests conducted within a matter of
few seconds. Complicated operations are possible and are successful
with the help of equipments and machines invented with the help of
Science. Human life would get transformed into new horizons and
heights of prosperity when atomic energy is fully utilized for
peaceful purposes.
A big contribution of science in our daily life is electricity. Without
electricity, there would have been complete darkness after evening
hours and no industry could function without the power of electricity.
We have been able to control the effects of weather change with
electrical energy. All fans, coolers and air-conditioners in summer and
all kinds of heating gadgets in winter, functions with the help of
electricity. Entertainment through cinema is one of the most
remarkable invention of science in our daily life. It provides us cheap
and enjoyable pastime and comfort from tensions of daily life. Now
each household has television and radios which are the fastest
medium of mass communication made possible by Science.
3. Science is proving to be of great help in our daily life. The world
would have come to a standstill without inventions of Science. There
is shortage of space everywhere and as such, high - rise buildings are
constructed both for commercial and residential purposes. Inventions
of lifts working in these buildings have made life very easy. A
housewife can cook tast with the help of electricity run kitchen
machines. Thus she saves a lot of her cooking time and is able to
devote that precious time in many other activities related to family
life. The washing of clothes for her has become really an enjoyable
game of few minutes. Even she need not run here and there spreading
wet clothes for drying. All this is possible with the production of
fully automatic washing machines.
In spite of Science as a blessing in our daily life, we remain in
constant fear of mass destruction weapons invented by Science.
Another disadvantage of science has been the misuse of mass media
for propaganda. Sometimes information stories facts are blown out
of proportion leading to tension among the masses. Much of communal
tension within the country has been the creation of media. Mass
media is used by anti-social elements to spread rumours and false
information. Once a story is circulated, it spreads like a forest fire,
thanks to mass media. It is certainly upto mankind to utilize the
benefits of Science for welfare of all or to indulge in making mass
destruction weapons for miseries of future generations. Science can
further be utilized to make our daily life more prosperous,
comfortable and full of happiness.
