Science vs. Technology

Science is how you get new technological breakthroughs technology is the result.

• The goal of science is the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake.
• The goal of technology is to create products that solve problems and improve
human life.
Simply put, technology is the practical application of science.

Learning about technology is becoming increasingly important in the modern age. Technology
really is everywhere. We sit in artificially created homes surrounded by little to no natural
objects. Whether you include simple technology like doorknobs, or focus entirely on modern
electronic technology, there's no debating how it has completely changed the way humans live.
Learning about the significance of technology in our lives is valuable, as is learning about the
ethics and potential issues with technology.
