What is the significance of science and technology?
it’s sort of like the difference between research and development science is satisfied when something has been demonstrably explained technology seeks to turn that explanation into a useful even marketable form frequently engineers are the bridge element in the process consider science discovered semi-conductivity and some ways to use semiconductors such as diodes and switches (transistors) these were developed into viable replacements for vacuum tubes leading to what we call solid state electronics further development shrunk these into printed circuits and yet further development produced very small circuits – chips so we have gone from simple computers that were as big as a house and required a full-time service crew to keep them running just to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide. those old computers were mainly used to sort, store, retrieve and correlate rather simple information such as census data these monsters did not have the computational abilities of one of today’s
