What I already KNOW
1. The fields of science,
technology and society have a
deep mutual interdependence and
are constantly affected by each
other
2. Science is providing the
knowledge and understanding of
natural phenomena, which are

What I have LEARNED
I have acquired a good
understanding of the way in which
science and technology progress
is influenced both by social and
culture contexts during my studies
on Science, Technology & Society.
I've been learning how science,
technology and society interact
with each other in past and
present times, including the impact
of tech innovation on societal,
economical and policy systems.
Ethical and moral implications of
advances in science and
technology, as well as how these
can be assessed and debated
within the framework of policy
debates, have also been
examined. Overall, my experience
in the field of Science, Technology
and Society was to give me a
more detailed understanding of the
role of science and technology in
society as well as how it should
take into account wider societal
and ethical implications for its
development and use.

Activity 01
2. Describe some of the interconnections between science and technology, using at least threespecific
examples. Write in complete sentences

Scientific progress often brings about new technological developments, thanks to the close
link between science and technology. Three specific examples of the link between science
and technology can be found here:

1.Computer development: The evolution of computers is a prime example of the relationship

between science and technology. The science of electronics and computer science provided
the knowledge necessary for the development of computers, while technology has enabled
the creation of increasingly powerful and efficient computers. Today, computer use is
widespread in almost all aspects of modern life, including communication, entertainment,
education and business.

2. Medical imaging: Another example of the connections between science and technology is
medical imaging equipment, such as Xray, CT scans or MRI machines. These methods of
imaging have been developed on the basis of scientific knowledge concerning how different
tissues are absorbing and emitting radiation, which in turn is generated by technology to
produce a clearer image of the body. Such images are vital for the diagnosis and treatment of
a variety of diseases.

3. Renewable energy technologies: The interconnection between science and technology is a

major driver for the development of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. The potential of
renewable energy sources has been found, and advances in technology have made it
possible to develop technologies that are more efficient and cost effective at the same time.
In order to address the global challenges of climate change or reduce our dependence on oil,
these technologies will become more and more important.
