Technology and Cultures Essay
Modern society involves the transition of a new era: the transition is partly brought out through the
use of cultural tradition, and through the production of new ideas and the invention of new
techniques. The latter may be appropriated and adapted from outside a given culture in addition to
what can be acquired from within the culture itself by way of exercise of the academic, evaluative,
and adaptive capacities.
A sustained interest in science is important for at least two reasons. It would provide an stable base
for a real technological evolution at a time in the history of the world when the dynamic connections
between science and technology have been recognized and made the basis of equal attention to both:
technology has become...show more content...
Traditional technologies are developed to meet material or economic needs: to deal with specific
problems of material survival. They can be seen as having direct connections with social problems
and as being appropriate to meeting certain basic, however, one could acquire skills without
understanding the relevant scientific principles. The food technologist is a good example. The lack
of understanding of the relevant scientific principles will slow down the improvement exercise itself.
The other factor relates to the need for change in certain cultural habits and attitudes on the part of
technicians, and other practitioners of traditional technologies. Practitioners of traditional
technologies will have to be weaned from certain traditional attitudes and be prepared to learn and
apply new or improved techniques and practices. Some old, traditional habits will have to be
abandoned; adaptation to new and generally more effective––ways of practicing technology, such as
resorting to technical aids in precision measurements, will need to be pursued.
Transfer of technology involves the transfer of some techniques and practices developed in some
technologically advanced country to some developing country. The assumption is that local people,
i.e., the technicians or technologists in the developing country will be able to acquire the techniques
transferred to them. Acquiring techniques theoretically means being able to

Essay Science and Technology
Science and Technology
` The Internet, which is becoming a sort of technological utopia for some, is becoming a
technological nightmare for others. The relationship between science and technology has always
been pretty equal, linked through their shared goal of helping to improve society. But now, in the
21st century, it seems like technology is outgrowing its niche. The question that todays society
needs to ask itself is this: Exactly how far is too far? For some this is a hard question, and for
others, especially those in the medical field, it is an easy question to answer. Then of course there
are the people who, like myself, are stuck in the middle and not sure which side is right. With all the
positive scientific and...show more content...
Right now the choice is just science fiction, but just barely so. Scientists say the time is coming
when parents will indeed be able to pick their childrens genetic make–up. (www.pop.sci.com.) The
question presented now is if this is morally right and okay. This process can and will challenge
our fundamental thinking about who we are and what it means to be human. Do we, as human
beings, have the right to take the creation of life into our own hands and attempt to play God?
Should we really be allowed to remake human biology? Personally, I believe in the saying that life
is a gamble, you gotta take what you get and deal with it. However, Im not saying that scientific
technology is entirely a bad thing. Scientists already know that inheriting good genes can give
some people a powerful edge. They know a few of the combinations of genes that can help people
resist some of the life–threatening diseases out there, so one goal of human engineering could be to
help those who are genetically less fortunate by sharing these built–in health advantages. Another
advantage of scientific technology is the new mechanical heart. For some patients with failing hearts,
doctors will soon be able to utilize an amazing device: the first totally implantable artificial heart that
has no wires or tubes outside the body. For thousands of Americans suffering from diseased hearts,
and for the doctors who treat them, this has been one of the most compelling yet unattainable goals

Essay about Science, Technology and Us
Science, Technology and Us
Science is an important part of our every day lives. We wake up each morning because we hear
the ringing of our alarm clocks and turn on our faucets to wash our faces with warm water. We
turn on the lights in our rooms to see our clothes and get dressed and we put our breakfast in the
toaster and sip coffee from our mugs. All these things we do in the short time we are rushing to get
ready for work or school, are due to the advancement of science and technology.
Growing up, I was always around somewhat up to date technological appliances, as my grandfather
was very keen on always having what's new and exciting at the time. That idea also followed me in
my own home, where my parents had computers and...show more content...
Whether we decide to use it, or not is entirely up to us, but blaming technology and science for our
societal problems is not the answer. I believe that parents should put in an extra effort to learn about
the new technological advancements of the day because not only does that allow them to be better
informed, but it is a great tool for parenting. So much negativity about computers and its effects on
people, particularly children, causes adults to stay out of the "loop". Bishop also mentions in his
article that people fear things they do not know. When the majority of people do not understand
more than half the things they need to know about computers, it is difficult for them, that is when
they start fearing these things that are ultimately foreign to them.
Science and technology offer a great deal to us, and it would be difficult to imagine any life,
which would not be connected to science and technology in any way. Even the cars we drive are
direct outcomes of science and technology. We depend on many things to go about our daily lives,
and if it weren't for science and technology, we would be lost. Sometimes if you look at people
around you who are not as interested or knowledgeable about technology, you can't help to wonder
how they do the many things I use technology for. While living in a third world country for 3 months
