Introduction - Most of the things that we see around us is a part of scientific development. We can take the light for example. We started using artificial light by light bulb invented by Thomas Edison in November 1879. From then on wards development are happening in the bulb. The yellow light changed in to white light by tube lights. We started using small lights to decorate our houses during festivals. Then came CFL compact fluorescent lamp, energy savers and cost effective. CFL was followed by LED or light emitting diode lamps, that are even more energy and cost effective in the long run. By this example we can understand that as the social need for energy efficient illumination arise science gave solution by development of product accordingly.
Media for open and distance mode of education - If we go in the history of education we come to know about Vedas. They are also called "Shrutis" meaning listening. Earlier because media for recording were not present students used to listen the lessons from their teachers and memorize them. That is why the media is called "Shrutis". Later on as the time passed people started to write on leaves of certain specific trees. But they were not sturdy and could not be kept for long term. There are also examples of writing important piece of information on metals so that it will become permanent. There was need for better media for education and science kept giving out solution.
Now that we have entered in to the age of communication. The science has advanced so much and education system has changed. Nowadays people from India are able to take university degrees from USA, Australia and vice versa. This is possible only because of media for open and distance mode of education. Now we have got facilities like video conferencing, online calling, webinars etc. We are witnessing amazing things happening. A webinar may could actually be happening at America and people from across the glob can attend and actively participate. This is possible only because of social need and perception and corresponding scientific development. The above examples make it aptly clear that scientific development is influenced by social need and perceptions. Education field has also got benefited immensely by these developments.
