Science in Everyday Life
The twentieth century is the science age. Modern science has discovered different type of wonders. It has brought very far reaching changes in everyday life. Huge undeniably are the blessings of science. It has enlarged human comforts and given man powers that are only for God. Some people says truly science has given eyes to blind, ears to deaf, and limbs to the cripple. Science has given us artificial wings also that we cannot get naturally. Science is a compulsory subject of study for all examinations. Let us discuss, in brief, some various blessings that science has bestowed upon the modern man. It is the age of science. There are many wonders of science. Science plays an important part in our daily life. It has made our life easier and more comfortable. Science is nothing but a systematic way of knowledge and living. Man’s behavior of inquiringly, alertness and keen observation of changes in natural happenings has given birth to science and scientific study.
Science has developed, invented and
discovered different mediums of swift communication that are very useful for us
in our everyday life. Time and distance have been conquered and traveling has
become a pleasure. Trains and Railways are now used for travel and transport.
Man can fly like birds nowadays. Traveling around the world in small amount of
time is not a big deal nowadays. The globe is shrinked and the whole world now
looks like a small family. Sea-voyages have now become perfectly safe and have
lost all their terrors. In the modern steam-ship, we can travel with perfect
ease and safety. The world has now become one long bazaar and mangoes about
buying and selling with perfect ease.
Science has invented different types of machines that are very useful for
us in our daily life. Everything that the modern man uses from morning till
night has been manufactured by one machine or the other. Machine lifts weight
from us, plough our fields, cook our food and also serve it for us. Computers
have made each and everything easy like calculations and other stuff beyond our
imagination. The invention of such machines, that save our time and drudgery,
is a great blessing for mankind. Scientists have invented several things and
machines that are big and small through observation of very simple events.
Boiling water in a kettle has given us idea of coal railway engine. Apples
falling from a tree helped Newton to discover a new law that is now known as
law of gravity. Electricity is the greatest invention of man. It serves us in
hundreds and thousands of ways. It runs our trains, mills and factories. It
cools and keeps our houses warm. It washes and irons our clothes. It gives us
cool air and entertains us through Cinema, TV and radio, besides lighting our
houses. Modern life is impossible without electricity.
The greatest blessings of science are its inventions in the field of
medicine and surgery. Human pain and treatment of different types of diseases
that don’t have any treatment available in the early times that have now become
very easy and the human life survival rate is increased. Science has
invented a number of wonderful drugs that are used for pain killing and due to
the use of these drugs the pain is finished and these drugs are very useful in
everyday life. X-Ray and body scanning machines are the window through which we
can get a peep into the inside of our body. There are machines and different
types of scanners and detectors which can sense and tell us about the diseases
that are inside the human body. Major operations can now be performed and
broken limbs set right without the patient feeling any pain. Different parts of
the body can now be replaced by artificial parts. It is expected that atomic
energy, when used for peaceful purpose on a large scale, would transform human
life.
Science has given comfort to human life very much. With electricity man
can turn night into day and carry on his work with perfect ease. In the summer
season, he enjoys cool breeze by the use of electric fans and air-conditions. Many
inventions of science are for our enjoyment and entertainment. Cinema is very
cheap means of entertainment that provides enjoyment both for rich and poor.
Through radio we can enjoy music, dialogues, dramas, short stories. Through the
television we can see dramas, dances, etc; being staged at the television
station. Man can reach any part of the world within hours. He has even reached
the other planets with the help of science. The day is not so far when man will
be able to travel easily to other stars and planets.
Science has done wonders. Heart surgery and heart transplantation have
become ordinary things nowadays. Science has discovered and controlled
incurable different types of life taking dangerous diseases. With the
discovery of atomic energy man has found an inexhaustible source of energy. It
can meet the demands of energy of the world for a long time. Modern science is
nothing but a skill magician. One after one, it is providing the mankind with
wonders. It has absolutely conquered and discovered the resolute forces of
nature.
Electricity is the first wonder of modern science. It is the driving force
of modern civilization. Without it, the development of modern science is
impossible.
Television is another great wonder of modern science. It is a popular
medium of entertainment, enjoyment, thoughts and opinions. Television shows us
the videos and live shows and the interesting thing is that through television
we can see and also hear through the speakers. It leaves a permanent effect on
the people.
Computer is one of the greatest inventions of modern Science. It is a
substitute for the human brain. In every field of life man has been using
computer. It seems that in the future man will be a puppet and computer will do
every brain work.
The invention of nuclear energy is a marvelous wonder of modern science.
Now man can make atom Bomb, Hydrogen Bomb, Neutron Bomb, Missiles etc. with the
help of this energy. Man may use this power either in destructive or
constructive works.
Space travel is the most wonderful success of modern science. Landing on a
moon was just an imagination of a man few years back. But by the help of modern
science man has also done this impossible work. So it is possible now to turn
man’s imagination into reality.
Science has created wonders in the field of communication. Telephone,
telex, fax, internet, networking, cell phones, laptops, GPS, E-mail,
VSATs, wireless, telegrams are great wonders. They have brought the world
closer to us. We can send news from one corner of the world to other within a
single moment. Human life would get transformed into new horizons and heights
of prosperity when atomic energy is fully utilized for peaceful purposes.
Science is very much helpful in our daily life. The world would have been
stopped without inventions of the Science. There is shortage of space
everywhere in the world such as, high buildings are constructed both for
commercial and residential purposes. Inventions of lifts working in these
highly constructed buildings have made life very easy. A housewife can cook
tasty food with the help of different kitchen machines that are invented by
science. In this condition she is able to save too much wastage of time and
give that time to perform other house works and also her family. Cloth washing
systems are also very easy because of invention of washing machines from modern
science. All this is possible with the production of fully automatic washing
machines.
In spite of Science as a blessing in our daily life, but on the other hand
it is also very dangerous because science has invented very dangerous weapons
that can kill humanity very easily. Another disadvantage of science is the
misuse of mass media for propaganda. Sometimes different types of stories and
rumors are out and they create many tensions for people all over the world.
Much of communicating tension within the country has been the creation of
media. Mass media is used by anti-social elements to spread rumors and false
information. Once a story is circulated, it spreads like a fire, thanks to mass
media. It is certainly up to mankind to utilize the benefits of Science for
welfare of all or to indulge in making mass destruction weapons for miseries of
future generations.
Science has metamorphosed the mode of our daily life. Science has stepped
up the speed of life; it has widened the range of our occupations, extended all
of the limits of our curiosity, it has increased the ways of utilizing our
leisure ; it has given us comforts and facilities undreamt of by our
forefathers.
As regarding food by the help of science now we can know that which food
has how much proteins and calories. It has analyzed and classified the various
constituents of our diet according to vitamin content, caloric value, mineral
basis etc. It has explained to us the factors that make a balanced diet. With
the help of all this knowledge, the State can provide school children with
cheap but nutritious food in order to build up the physique of future
generations. This shows how much science can contribute to the improvement of
national well-being. Science even has started producing synthetic food in the
Laboratory, to supplement our food deficit.
Next item of our necessity is our dress. Modern science has taught us the
utility of light dress in a tropical country. Our knowledge of science has
helped up to manufacture dress materials more comfortable, more enduring and in
the long run more economical and adjusted to the prevailing environment. Today
we are certainly better clothed than ever before.
Also science has shown us how we can do a long time work in short time and with less physical effort and sweat. It has placed at our disposal innumerable devices that can be used to save our labor and the expenses on that labor, so that, life can become far less difficult than it is.
