Science and Technology in Nation
Science and Technology is
Building
Intellectual Revolution
● Emphasizes the idea of universal
human progress, the most
pragmatic systems in science as
well as free use of reason, logic,
and critical thinking.
● Used to refer to Greek speculation
about the "nature" in the period
before Socrates (roughly 600 to 400
BCE).
● The alternative, technical terms are
"pre Socratic" or "non-theological" or
"first philosophy".
● Bear in mind that the "philosophy" in
question has much more to do with
what we would call physics or
logic.
Three characteristic features of this form
of speculation
Science and Technology in Nation
Building
● Development at any phase is always
linked with technology and
technology happens when there is
advancement in science.
● For any successful economy,
particularly in today’s quest for
knowledge based economies,
science, technology and engineering
are the basic requisites.
● If nations do not implement science
and technology, then the chances of
getting themselves developed
becomes minimal and thus could be
even rated as an undeveloped
nation.
associated in all means with
modernity and it is an essential tool
for rapid development.
● Modernization in every aspect of life
is the greatest example of the
implementation of science and
technology in every nation. • With
the introduction of modern gadgets
in every walk of life, life has become
simple and this is possible only
because of implementing science
and technology together.
● Without having modern equipment in
all sectors, be it in medicines,
infrastructure, aviation, electricity,
information technology or any other
field, the advancement and benefits
that we face today would not have
been possible.
● A nation who is not able to prosper
on these grounds would never be
able to sustain the lives there and
may have to solely depend on other
nations for the basic requirements.
● Such is the influence of science and
technology for the development of a
nation.
From Villages to Towns
● Villages are developed into towns
and towns to cities and cities are
expanding to greater horizons. This
expansion has occurred through the
expansion of science and
technology over the years passed
and will be more in the coming
years.
How are countries classified?
● Today, countries are classified as
developed and developing
countries.
● The major categorization is based
on economy and the application
of science and technology.
● Countries which have a strong base
in science and technology are the
ones that developed faster.
● A few examples are of countries like
Russia, Japan, Brazil, China, India
and many more.
Science and technology improves lives
Science and Technology
● The role that science and technology
has played in improving the life
conditions across the globe is vivid,
but the benefit has to be harvested
maximum by all countries. Science
and technology has made life a lot
easier and also a lot better with the
advancement of medicines and
analysis on diseases.
Need for proper implementation of
● Without proper implementation of
science and technology, no nation
could grow and all those nations that
were labelled as low in growth have
proved where they stand today and
all that has happened only because
of science and technology.

Science and technology and economy

● Apart from the medical side, there

has been remarkable development
in education, communication,
agriculture, industry etc. the global
economic output has increased 17
fold in the 20th century.

Meet the gap

● In spite of the advancements in

almost all sectors, still the world is
not free from hunger, disease,
pollution, illiteracy and poverty.

● The gap between the rich and the

poor has widened. By the 21st
century, with the right applications of
research, development, and
implications of science and
technology a major difference could
be brought about.

More funds for science and technology

● It goes without saying that a nation’s

development and prosperity is
judged to a large extent by the
status of science and technology of
that nation. A scientifically
unsophisticated society means an
underdeveloped nation in all sectors.

● It is easily understood when

analyzing that countries like Japan
and USA who invest a decent
amount for research and
development are in the highest
stratum of development whereas
countries like Nepal who invest very
less amount in research and
development remain in the lowest
ladder of development.
