SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE – THE WONDERS OF ALL AGES
Man is just discovering what God has put in place. However, it’s good and laudable to appreciate the efforts of mankind in embroyology, ophthalmology, general medicine, medical science, neurosurgery, heamaatology, clinical chemistry just to mention a few that tend to explore how each cell,tissue, organ and system function and what to do to correct any abnormally that befall these units.
The evolution of science in medicine has led to safety of many lives who would have died untimely e.g discovery of blood and blood products eg platelets (given to people with familial platelets abnormality or blood cell disease), plasma for people who experience burns etc and sarum. It is not worthy to say that medical science has helped in the diagnosis of diseases that were formerly threat to people’s life. (2) Discovery of drugs/remedies from plants and animals and later from chemical have helped save life.
Many people would have died of hunger without the discovery of high yielding plants through agricultural practices like cross breeding discovery of organic fertilizers of mechanization. Science without technology is incomplete and technology without science is incomplete vice-versa.
I quickly submit that technology is the vehicle that science drives in to achieve its aim. Technology also prey/tap from nature converting what is found in nature such as minerals/materials tools of significant. Technology developments include: discovery/production of space car/aeroplane that lessen the burden of prolong journey if it were land or sea. (2) It also add pleasure and comfort to travelling.
(2i) Discovery of cargo/ big sea vessel lessen the burden of carriage of big goods from one country to the other.
(ii) It aids international trades e.g exportation of electronic from Japan/China to Africa and Cocoa from Africa to other part of the world.
What of rail transport to mention but a few.
Physics discovers some laws that are beneficial to man e.g laws of gravity that says “whatever goes up most come down” Man out of deep thinking reverse this law and tagged it “the escape velocity”. Without the discovery of law of gravity there can’t be escape velocity. What of the floating principles dynamics that allows large useful to stay on oceans without sinking.
Recommendation:
Let all human beings arm the world acknowledge God the author of science, medicine and technology Ps 100 vs1
(2) Science and Technology must be priotize for meaningful development in the countries of the world.
(3) It must be adequately funded not on paper for its thrift since it forms the bedrock for meaningful development even social-economically and other wise.
(4) Science subjects must be introduced right from nursery/primary school to university
(5) Teachers of sciences must upgrade their knowledge of the subjects from time to time
