 Give the good contribution of Science and Technology then
give the Bad effects of opposite to the good contribution in
the fields of:
MEDICINE
Good
Contribution
Science and technology play a
huge role in the field of medicine
and can improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the diagnosis
and treatment of various diseases
and disorders. The use of various
medical technologies, such as
ultrasound, doctors and other
experts can improve their
efficiency and effectiveness in
treating patients. Science and
technology are very important for
the field of medicine as they help
us in developing new drugs and
procedures that can improve the
quality of life of humans.
Bad
Contribution
Technology can provide many
advantages to patients, but it can also
bring significant risks. Each hazard
met 1 or more of the following
criteria: It has resulted in injury or
death; it has occurred frequently; it
can affect a large number of people.
Hazards like the "Alarm Fatigue"
Hazards. Alarms can cause adverse
events if they fail to warn of potential
dangers. Another reason is that the
frequency of the alarm can
desensitize the staff to the warning
sounds. Exposure Dangers from
Radiation Therapy and CT. Not
only can radiation therapy and CT
errors cause devastating
consequences for patients, they can
also lead to unnecessary exposure.
Cross-contamination From Flexible
Endoscopes. Failure to follow a
multistep process when cleaning and
disinfecting flexible endoscopes can
result in life-threatening infections.
And a lot more to mention. These
hazards can be very risky and
require hospitals to take various
precautionary steps to minimize
their impact.
 COMMUNICATION
Good
Contribution
Science and technology have made
a great impact on the way we
communicate, leaving us with no
choice but to embrace these
changes. Communication have
evolved over the years from simple
text messages and audio calls to a
more efficient video calls and other
chat platforms. With this
advancement it made our lives
easier if before it'll take weeks for a
message to received by the recipient,
these days texts enable you to send
messages by the touch of a button at
any corner of the world. Through
platforms such as Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter among others
users can communicate through
comments, likes or even their
profiles and status. These platforms
break the barrier of religion,
distance or race and allow global
communication. Communication
paved its way to evolution where no
one expects.
Bad
Contribution
It is undeniable how Science and
Technology enhanced the way we
communicate, however there are also
negative effects on these. It invades one's
privacy in a way that the receiver might
forward, screenshot or even copy paste
what you just shared to them. A thought
that what supposed to be private can
spread so quickly within a few clicks.
Hackers are also present and could leak
sensitive information or steal your
account. If that happens, it would be a
problem. The continuous usage of
technology is becoming a general
distraction and it is not only stealing away
time to talk and have real life
interactions, it also causes serious
injuries especially when driving or
walking. It also increases the mental
health problems; teens are mostly
depressed and tend to isolate themselves
maybe due to users who are behaving
badly and commenting just to say bad
things, or teens/people comparing their
life to the idealistic one. Another bad
effect is misunderstandings. Using
gadgets as a means of primary
communication can spark a potential
misunderstandings between people. This
is because we do not see each other's
body language, hear each others tone
and express facial expressions. The
youth nowadays have been inventing new
words, abbreviations (lazy language) and
slangs that young children might adapt
and grow into, it may decline the quality
of grammar and sentence construction.

does not only help to make the
people’s life more convenient but it
also helped in enhancing
international trade among countries
of the world. It also made the
construction of airports and
seaports possible. And most
importantly it ensured speed in the
movement of people and goods
from one place to another.
 AGRICULTURE
Good
Contribution
As we all know, agriculture is one of the
oldest profession in the entire history.
Recently, there have been a lot of claims
that science and technology has a greater
contributions in agricultural processes
and productions. Hence, science and
technology has a large component in
terms of the advancement of agricultural
fields. The following are the good
contributions of science and technology
in agriculture.
1. It has greatly improved the productivity
of agricultural products and crops to plant
and harvest. It allows to utilize and more
efficient from cultivating the soil, planting,
harvesting and transportation. Moreover,
the agricultural business will be profitable,
safer, and effective.
2. It has made the possibility of easier
prediction of weather and climate
conditions. Modern agricultural methods
enable to identify the kind of climate
suitable for the type of crop to be planted.
3. The invention of mechanical
equipments. Farmers are now using
tractors, cultivators, cultipackers,
harrowers, irrigation systems, balers, and
harvesters. Hence, they made and
complete their job with significant less
time, hassle, and much easier way.
4. Easier mode of transportation of
products and crops from one place to
another. Transportation is one of the
factor that challenges the farmers to
export their products, however,
technology advancement have addresses
the problem into a faster and lesser cost
in transporting.
Bad
Contribution
Science and technology has played its
vital role to ease and solve problems that
farmers encounter in doing agriculture.
However, upon the solutions made,
there have been problems and
substantial effects created at the same
time:
1. It causes pollution to the environment
from toxins and chemical release. It
includes machinery and chemical use
which is good for crop production but
somehow harms the environment.
2. It destroys the natural habitat of
different species since through the use of
new emerging technology, it is not
difficult to convert forest into landfill in
order to build and extend agricultural
lands.
3. It can also exhibit degradation to
environment since heavy machinery and
tilling equipments may opt to happen a
soil erosion.
4. Most of the farmers are dealing it with
difficulty in terms of adapting the
modern agricultural method.
