How does science and technology contribute to development?

Science and technology has generated new kno- wledge, such as discoveries of new
principles, and has dramatically contributed to the development and progress of
people's lives, the economy, and the society.

Is Science and Technology important for the development of the country?


Science and Technology hold the key to the progress and development of any nation.
Technology plays a Fundamental role in wealth creation, improvement of the quality of life and
real economic growth and transformation in any society.

Science, technology and innovation each represent a successively larger


category of activities which are highly interdependent but distinct.
Science contributes to technology in at least six ways: (1) new
knowledge which serves as a direct source of ideas for new
technological possibilities; (2) source of tools and techniques for more
efficient engineering design and a knowledge base for evaluation of
feasibility of designs; (3) research instrumentation, laboratory
techniques and analytical methods used in research that eventually find
their way into design or industrial practices, often through intermediate
disciplines; (4) practice of research as a source for development and
assimilation of new human skills and capabilities eventually useful for
technology; (5) creation of a knowledge base that becomes increasingly
important in the assessment of technology in terms of its wider social
and environmental impacts; (6) knowledge base that enables more
efficient strategies of applied research, development, and refinement of
new technologies. The converse impact of technology on science is of at
least equal importance: (1) through providing a fertile source of novel
scientific questions and thereby also helping to justify the allocation of
resources needed to address these questions in an efficient and timely
manner, extending the agenda of science; (2) as a source of otherwise
unavailable instrumentation and techniques needed to address novel
and more difficult scientific questions more efficiently.

The essence of how science and technology contributes to society is the creation of new
knowledge, and then utilization of that knowledge to boost the prosperity of human lives, and to
solve the various issues facing society.

Technology, knowledge and science are fundamental in modern contemporary society. The


understanding of how social, cultural and material elements influence the production of new
practices, new ways of understanding and new institutions is vital in our understanding of
contemporary postmodern society.

What is the important of technology in the society?


Technology affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps society and
determines how people interact with each other on a daily basis. Technology plays an
important role in society today. It has positive and negative effects on the world and it impacts
daily lives

What is the role of science and technology in education?


Teaching technological literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving through science
education gives students the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school and beyond
