HOW HAS SCIENCE IMPACTED OUR LIVES?


In every field of life, the effect of the inventions of science can be seen. The modern world would not be modern at all without the understanding and technology enabled by science.

Let's see what science has done in:


MEDICINE

In the late 1700s, Edward Jenner first convincingly showed that vaccination worked. In the 1800s, scientists and doctors established the
theory that many diseases are caused by germs. And in the 1920s, a biologist discovered the first antibiotic. From the eradication of smallpox, to the prevention of nutritional deficiencies, to successful treatments for once deadly infections, the impact of modern medicine on global health has been powerful. In fact, without science, many people alive today would have instead died of diseases that are now easily treated.
Scientific knowledge can improve the quality of life at many different levels — from the routine workings of our everyday lives to global issues.

science has discovered the causes and nature of the diseased and on the other it has given us their cures and remedies. With the help of X-ray a disease even in the innermost part of the body can e known. The science of surgery has also made much headway. Defect of the various parts of body can now be removed with the help of operations.

ELECTRICITY

From Ben Franklin's studies of static and lightning in the 1700s, to Alessandro Volta's first battery, to the key discovery of the relationship between electricity and magnetism, science has steadily built up our understanding of electricity, which today carries our voices over telephone lines, brings entertainment to our televisions, and keeps the lights on.

AGRICULTURE

Science has transformed the way we eat today. In the 1940s, biologists began developing high-yield varieties of corn, wheat, and rice, which, when paired with new fertilizers and pesticides developed by chemists, dramatically increased the amount of food that could be harvested from a single field, ushering in the Green Revolution. These science-based technologies triggered striking changes in agriculture, massively increasing the amount of food available to feed the world and simultaneously transforming the economic structure of agricultural practices.
