Answer:
Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and my dear friends, at the outset I wish you a very good morning. Today, it is a matter of great privilege for me to stand before you and address this assembly on a subject which is very close to my heart.
Every since the day man first rubbed two stones to light up a fire, newer discoveries, and subsequently, inventions have been made to make life easier for humankind. Just as fire was probably the first discovery, inventing clothing and housing were steps that made life more comfortable. Gradually, vehicles for movement and medicines for treatment aided men to cover distances with ease and lead healthier lives. In moving from one place to another by land, first horses and elephants were used; gradually, motor cars began replacing these modes in a big way. Similarly, rafts, canoes and boats were replaced by motorised boats and ships. Thereafter, aerial movement was achieved through aeroplanes; today, rockets are being sent to outer space and into planets in the solar system with a view to rehabilitating in the future a part of the world’s burgeoning population.
All this and many more things born out of scientific research is beneficial for us. But, I dread to think about the ill effects of mankind’s misuse of science. The biggest disaster a scientific discovery has caused was the dropping of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; killing innocent men, women and children by the thousands was an immediate catastrophe, but maiming future generations has been a nagging worry. In this day and age, I dread to imagine what will happen if nuclear arms fall into wrong hands or a few trigger-happy men sit on a stockpile of nuclear weapons, always threatening to unleash them on their foes. So, the United Nations and other world bodies should continually make efforts to keep those megalomaniacs and their armoury in check.
In spite of a few shortcomings, science continues to address our problems and makes living a pleasurable experience. Our daily lives are so dependent on science that we cannot imagine a single moment without using one of its inventions; air-conditioners, washing machines, internet, telephones, microwave ovens, water heaters are just a few of these, which have been giving us all the comfort that we could desire. Therefore, if we use technology for the benefit of mankind, it is a wonderful area of human activity and can be used in a productively useful way.
Thank you.
