Science and technology have had a major impact in our society.
It has improved the standard way of living and also made mankind to discover what they thought was impossible.

Science evolved really fast as the word science can be break down into several sphere of life with its subproject diversified into different ideas with lots of researches involved.

Technology has evolved into different dimension as this is improving our life styles and making the world a better place to live in.
But trying to only pinpoint the advantages of science in our community and not also starting the disadvantages is absorbed.

They have been several debates of science and its impact in our society,
Many scholars with their research and perspective have started clearly that the impacts of science has improved the earth and its structure but lets not shy away from its numerous disastrous activities.

It is true science has grown and evolved so quick and fast with extraordinary inventions on a daily. moreover new findings are inevitable in our modern world ,scientists frequently developing new concepts and theories,improving our life style and filling us with vast knowledge of the Universe,Science has made us intelligent.

Many people have lived on this earth long time ago and never thought other planets similar to earth that supports life is possible, but with the help of Telescope and the use of some other mechanisms to achieve this goals discoveries and also studying this solar bodies is ongoing with built tech designed for such purpose and also the earth's satellite monitoring the earth's orbit.
With out the use of modern technology this would have been impossible.Scientists has proven to the world that they are so much more to be discovered and to be invented that will actually blown away the human minds

Isaac Asimov,also supports this point when he says, “Nor can we know or imagine now the limitless beauty yet to be revealed in the future-by science” (Asimov 313).

The impact of science is drastically changing our means of communication,Lifestyle and all earthly inhabitants.

• the way we work,
• our housing, clothes, and food,
• methods of transportations
• quality of life itself

Science has created changes by making life easier with the daily applications and uses of different gadgets applied on our daily activities.
Works and results being more accurate, efficient with the use of science mechanism, science has given man
the chance to aim at societal issues such as ethics,aesthetics,education,and also justice. But as the good side of every inventory of the science world it has also exposed us to disastrous activities, theft, violence, terrorism able to destroy ourselves.

Dr. Isaac Asimov also stated :These authorities covered the impact of science
on society from the time of man’s first significant scientific invention to that of expected future scientific advances.

Change is constant as they say and has been man best friend aside from dogs (chukkles)
Change is one of mankind’s most mysterious creations.

When man created its first science tool this made way for changes To operate.man has been inventing new ideas making several discoveries to make tomorrow inventions/techs better than that of today's, making the future invention better than that of now.

Impacts and effects of science in our life can not be over emphasized, science gave way to so many discoveries in health aspects,communications, travels and wars.

Lets go deep to the positive activities of science in our society

Positive Impacts of science

Technology has really evolved so fast to the extend of calling our generation A Digital Generation
Technology comes with its good and bad worst and evil, Ups and downs, in fact the invention of technology to the world is like a double-edged sword it cannot be denied that science and technology has several positive effects in different aspects of our lives.
Technology is very crucial in humankind’s growth and dominance because technology has made life easier with its development of infrastructures, inventions of cure to illness with the help of chemical combination and chemistry.
Also,technology has opened several doors of opportunities for us that were unthinkable with hope for the future and for more positive invention that will improve life performance and living.

Lets take a look at some of this positive impacts

1. Medicine

The best part of science in our life is the health sector where technology has shown its immense positive values for scientists finding cures to diseases and illness after testing the drugs and passing different laboratory trials.
The positive effects of technology has improved and given mankind a more organized form of health and also teaching us how the body reacts to some drugs.
Generally more efficient drugs is being developed every day for saving people’s lives, this is possible because one's medical record open ways to get a professional’s skillful doctors dedicated to such illness and study paired with the latest technology that makes treatment better and the overall health of the patient responds to the treatment

note -
although invention of medical drugs is to improve the health of patients,it can be also be observed that they are dangerous drugs out there that kills either from patient abused of it or act as poison to humans, this can also been see as a negative side of medical science
as most of this drugs are dangerous and mostly comes in disastrous form

2. Travel and Communication

The olden days method of travel and communication can not be compared to this modern days technology attached to it.

Starting from horses and wheels to cars and Aeroplanes,
the string telephone to smartphones and computers
technology has definitely made keeping in touch with love ones a lot easier.
The improvements and inventions of more advanced sophisticated Transportation are being made everyday making travel easier and more comfortable, fast and reliable conducive with every travel one engaged in.

Mobile phones have become essential and the major way of communication because you can now call anyone at anytime;anywhere even outer space. now you can see the new look of technology with its outer space projects and making stations on the moon this is possible with the modern sophisticated spaceship that was designed for this purpose.
Nothing is certain for sure if sooner disaster rock the earth and nature brings about disastrous events, technology has given us a measure of a chance of survival in case of this with fast speed communication and a whole active speed transportation.

3. Study and Discovery

Technology has exposed us into another new world of better experience with nature and research.
Everyday new discovery is made to improve the over all mankinds standard of living,
Technology made way and path to reach outer space to discover more of what goes up there and also studying the earthly bodies
studying nature, and the earth inhabitants.
Discovery new forms of life's and fossils of lives that has been before the existence of mankind.

4. Education

Education is the key, getting knowledge is science and With the help of technology, students have all the resources at their fingertips for a better understanding and learning.. reading books has its own usefulness but we don't need to argue that internet and mobile enabled data devices make studying more convenient for students and researching is much easier than if they were still focusing on the regular books.
Thus technology has brought its own positive impact in educational sector.

Several studies shown that students who have good technological access in learning has better chances of doing well with their courses and also with their curriculums as they are exposed not to only what they are learning but have better chances of accruing more ideas online than students who don't have access tothe Internet.
Lets Not deny the fact that Internet comes with its good and bad side.
Lots of research can be carried online,
supplemental studies for students of all levels.
Gadgets connected to the internet make access to educational materials more convenient and it is alarming that in this modern day, a day with out accessing the Internet is not normal as every activities is now glued to online.

5. The Internet and blockchain technology

As per what educational sector can achieve through Internet,lots of sectors too can't do with out the International network especially the financial aspects and trades,military base and government use the Internet to gather and store database of citizens for future use.

Blockchain

since 2009 after the first successful crypto coin " BITCOIN" was launched and came out successful.
We can now see the full rise of this technology as digital assets is being mined, created and send securely on a chain electronically through cryptography.
Everyday more companies and Institutes are accepting this digital currency as a means payment opening ways for cryptocurrency to take over the World because of its fast transaction and scalability.

6. Trade and Industry

Apparently Technology couldn't be better if it has nothing to do with business and trading.
IF there is one area in our lives where the impact of technology is so beneficial will should all chorus the business sector.

Business transactions are so much faster these days with the nano technology that carries its transaction electronically, this transaction occurs just in a nanosecond.

Best part about this is the possibility for the buyers and sellers not to even see each other even if they are far and not in same country. Moreover, calculations today are more accurate and the power to choose should always be at the hands of the consumer.
This is certainly much helpful to every entrepreneur when it comes to making decisions.
Technology made products more available to consumers too.
This open ways to big businesses and monopolizing the industry is put to halt since there are other companies that can offer a cheaper alternative to all stocks ordered be consumers

Negative Impact of science

Things have been different from what they look like in the past,technology has taken hold of everything and Negative aspects of it is over alarming.
Even though science transformed extensively and touch people's lives with every of its inventions, the world of science is ubiquitous and has its own bad effects of every good thing created and discovered.

However, none of us are left untouched by the hard knocks involved by this field.
Lets now ponder over this issues and also explore the negative consequences of science on our societal and daily life.

Every day, much has be on debate about the importance of science and technolog.
Technology has progressed at such a rapid pace that we forget the effects, However, as the saying goes;there are always a bad part on every good thing.
Scientific revolution have brought about adversities and changes on the entire planet, as well as to non-living aspects comprehensive review of this effect i would explained and not withstanding there are many who have defied the existence of God, and believe that life on earth is a product of natural sciences. People have their own perceptions and this is also an effect, science begot atheism and whether we are doing this right or wrong science has given us another religion (☺)

1. Environmental Impacts

Environmental issues are the biggest concern that Earth is facing.
So much wrong has occurred during so many science inventions and its affecting our environment from Depleting ozone layer to reducing of vegetation you can't forget climate changes cause of increased global warming,animal extinction and so on to infinitely.
The development of industries and factories to the establishment of plants is harming every one on the planet but no body noticed we are all busy with the inventions forgetting the environmental hazard.

Turning rural areas to urban area is infact the best part of technology, but lets not ignore the fact that improvement in infrastructure, research and development to create an Urbanized area with scientific advancements triggers a high cost of living lets not ignore the price involved as all this triggers the price to be expensive and hard to afford.
This is obvious.They're ubiquitous. They can be witnessed by one and all of us.

Internet Hacks and thief's

Its no doubt the Internet is something we can't do with out. However, many evil things are being propelled with it, apart from fake news from the Internet,one can become rich over night with its black hat skills of hacking co-operate bodies, financial institutions and stealing lots of dollars through that process.

4. Health Impacts

Health issues have seen a major concern as new diseases and illness are discovered on a daily. Little did we know that all this are caused from same exposure of science inventory we enjoyed.

Medical science no doubt is a blessing to mankind.Medicines produced all over the world are perceived to cure a patient of their illness.
but wrong dosage can cause maladies which curing is impossible, more sophisticated medicines are being produced for humans to carried out their daily activities but this drugs is either decreasing the life span of the users or have some future effects that might not be seen now.

Some of the unlisted includes

• Massive nuclear Destruction /War Gadgets
• Internet scams and Fraud
• Impersonation
• Natural Disaster
• Contaminated Air ETC
