                                    Science and Technology

       In recent years scientific and technological developments have changed life on our
planet.
       Today science and technology are closely related. Many modern technologies such as
nuclear power and space flights depend on science and the application of scientific knowledge
and principles. Science creates new opportunities for the development of new ways of making
things to be used in daily life. In turn, technology provides science with new and more accurate
instruments for its investigation and research.
       When we speak of technology today, we mean industrial technology or the technology
that began 200 years ago with the development of powerdriven machines, mass production of
goods that has created the basis for our modern society. Today we often say that we live in an
age of science and technology.
       The scientific revolution that began in the 16th century was the first time that science and
technology began to work together. Galileo, who made revolutionary discoveries in astronomy
and physics, also built an improved telescope and a system of lifting water. However, it was not
until the 19th century that technology truly was based on science.
       In a sense, the history of science and technology is the history of all humankind.
