    Science is a methodical approach to gaining knowledge through observation and experimentation. It helps develop technologies that apply scientific knowledge to minimize human effort and assist productivity. Science and technology are integral parts of modern life, making tasks simpler and allowing life in today's world. According to Plato, necessity is the mother of invention - society's needs drive the direction of science and technology. Without societal demand or funding, few pursue scientific research. Additionally, constant change is the only certainty, so adapting through continued learning about our environment and finding solutions is crucial to survival.

    1.

    Science is a methodical approach to learning about a particular topic of study.


    Through a defined plan of observation and experimentation, it helps us to gain
    knowledge. It never proves anything because it is always open to new facts and
    new ways of seeing things. However, evidence can be very strong and provide a
    high degree of confidence or validity in certain things. It is about coming up with an
    explanation of how reality works. Through science, we develop technologies.
    Technology is the actual application of scientifically acquired knowledge.It can be
    characterized as the services, equipment, and procedures used to minimize human
    effort and assist individuals in increasing productivity in their daily lives.

    Science and technology are gifts to humanity. Science and technology are
    pervasive and omnipotent in every part of our life. It is used in practically every
    aspect of our everyday lives, including work, communication, transportation,
    education, manufacturing, data security, company scaling, and so much more. It has
    made life simpler, made us feel more comfortable, and allowed us to live in the
    modern world.

    2.
    According to Plato (428 BC - 347 BC) in his masterwork The Republic,
    “Necessity is the mother of invention.” We can apply this maxim to the development
    of science and technology. Society needs a device. Science and technology are
    applied to invent it. Science and technology are used to improve it. Science and
    technology are applied in finding a substitute. Why? To satisfy an insatiable society .
    It responds to the needs and interests of the societies in which it takes place.
    Similarly, scientists are directly influenced by the interests and needs of society and
    often direct their research towards topics that will serve the society. Without need,
    expressed as demand, few people are interested and nobody is prepared to pay the
    costs of development. Since scientific research takes money, it will need funding.
    Naturally, if society did not care about it and did not believe it was necessary, they
    would not spend money on it. Therefore, science and technology is based on what
    the society needs or demands, what society is prepared to pay, and the readiness of
    the society to accept new ideas. This does not imply that societal needs alone are
    solely responsible for the advancement of science and technology. Other elements,
    like discoveries, have influenced the progress of science and technology, but society
    has influenced its application, or the society determines whether to utilize it or not.
    But all in all, society will always have an effect on the direction and state of science
    and technology.

    3. They say that the only constant in the world is change. In the past years, we’ve
    seen how the world has changed in astonishing ways. It is continuously evolving
    day by day. To survive in this world we need to adapt. All living organisms,
    including humans, plants, animals and bacteria, must be able to adapt to their
    environment or they will die. In order to adapt, we need to understand the world
    we live in and the changes that take place around us. Additionally, whether we
    like it or not, what is happening in our surroundings will have an impact on us
    directly or indirectly. Therefore, we must continue to read, to be aware, to be
    curious, and look for solutions. These knowledge we acquire could lead us to a
    better world to live in.
