The impact of science and technology on society can be traced back to ancient civilizations,
where early developments in mathematics, astronomy, and medicine laid the foundation for
modern scientific inquiry (Needham, 1969). The ancient Greeks, for example, made
significant contributions to the fields of geometry and astronomy, which later influenced the
work of scholars during the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries (Harrison,
2011).
