Science & Technology - (Introduction)
The evolution of science serves as a boon to the earth, since people can learn a lot about the world they are living in, including what they are living. Moreover, the advancement of science as well as the development of technology helped to revolutionize the fields of medicine, agriculture, education, information and technology and many more.
If we think of any kind of development in today's world, the presence of science and technology cannot be ignored.
(What is science?)
source
Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the natural and physical world through fundamental observations and experiments.
The study of science developed with human civilization.
(What is Technology?)
source
Technology (which is basically derived from the Greek word ‘technology) is an art, skill or ability, which is used to create and develop products and acquire knowledge.
Scientists used their knowledge to develop technology and then used technology to develop Science; so, because of this reason science and technology are an integrated term in today’s world.
Consider the following points to understand the relationship between Science and Technology −
Contribution of Science to Technology
Contribution of Technology to Science
Let us discuss these points in brief.
Contribution of Science to Technology
Let us now understand how Science has contributed to Technology −
Science as a direct source of new technological ideas
For example, innovation and development medical instruments; nuclear technology, radar system, etc.
Science as a source of engineering
Most of the technical knowledge used in the designing and development of tools and techniques is actually an outcome of ‘engineering science’.
Science has also helped in the development of human skills. This is one of the fundamental contributions of Science.
Contribution of Technology to Science
Consider the following points to understand the contribution of Technology to Science −
Technology as a source of scientific challenges
The development in the field of technology paves way for research and development in the field of Science. For example, space science is one of them. Technological development likewise indirectly stimulates basic research in the field of science.

Instrumentation and measurement techniques
Development of advanced instruments facilitated scientists to measure the distance between sun and earth, the
intensity of sun’s rays, the revolution of celestial bodies, internal problems of human beings, life of a bridge, etc.
