Marvels of Science and Technology.

Muhammad Abul Fazal

Humans have been very developed today. If we just put a glimpse at our past, our lives were full of struggle, it was not easy to communicate a person, the medical facilities were not good and because of this life expectancy of man was almost forty to fifty years. But if we see today, our medical facilities, communication system and even education system has undergone a dramatic change.

Communication system is best today. If we just look out on a street or go to any public premises we see mobiles and tablets in hands of almost every person there, we often see P.C.O’s on streets and parks which are not generally used because in their place mobiles are gradually used. With the help of Science the communication system had become very developed in these past hundred years. If we look communication in past times, it was very difficult to send messages over hundred to two hundred kilometres, it was also very long time taken by the messenger to reach the place where he had to give message. But today with the help of mobiles and internet we can send any message anywhere in span of seconds.

The transport system and town planning had also flourished in our world. The cars, trains and airplanes are much faster than horse driven carriages which were used in past. Our towns and cities have just become from small habitual centre to big Socio-cultural and financial centre.

On the other hand Medical System and facilities had made our life span long. In past small diseases and ailments like diarrhoea, dysentery and poxes were proved fatal. But today with modern medicines they can be totally eradicated from our body in just few weeks or months. With Surgery we can today treat some kinds of cancer, heart problems, etc. Even today some diseases such as Cancer are fatal but Medical Science will give their solutions in next hundred years.

Beside these advantages there are several disadvantages of Science and Technology also. These developments which can make our lives easier can also eradicate humanity from the world.  Weapons like atomic bombs and different missiles can be used by humans only, to cause global conflict as a spark of fire can cause big fire in forest. The pollution is another global problem which modern technology had given us and can affect our health and environment both.

There is much more about Science and Technology to say, but if  we will use it in sustainable and reasonable way it will going to benefit us more.
