scientific progress made by man
Answers
Man has made immense scientific progress, notably in the fields of medicine, automation, space explorations and environment as well as national security. Though each of these fields is vastly different, they affect human’s daily lives in one way or another.
With the research and development segment receiving huge funds, scientists have been able to test and develop better ways of safeguarding human lives. Science has allowed for the study, identification, cure as well as prevention of many diseases that had earlier threatened to blow up into epidemics, like small pox. Additionally, surgical procedures have undergone a sea change, thus improving the quality of life led by patients and even saving their lives at times.
Automation has become an important part of an individual’s existence, primarily because machines help save time. Accomplishing certain tasks manually can be taxing both in terms of time, energy and efficiency, while a machine can handle all three aspects of the same tasks effectively. Thus, an appliance like a washing machine can reduce the burden of household chores. However, it is the advanced machines like cars and computerized systems that have made marked progress.
Space and environmental explorations have gained popularity despite the exorbitant expenses involved. These missions help scientists provide information about weather conditions as well as possible natural disasters. While rainfall plays a crucial role in Indian agriculture, the Japanese government has devised advanced systems to help predict earthquakes. Science thus helps people take proactive measures.
Science is involved in matters of national security much more than is thought of. Significant decisions are made based on science, including the type of fabric to be used for troops of various forces, the kind of weaponry to arm them with, the effect of altitude on the health and efficiency of troops and machines. There are bigger decisions too, that revolve around science, such as the factors to consider when adding to the nation’s military, naval or air force strength.
As the world is increasingly accepting the scientific temperament those inclined towards science feel motivated to come up with new inventions and discoveries that make life easier. While some of these may not seem to be necessary for human existence, yet others are extremely relevant.
