Simple to Complex on Science and Technology
Studying the history of Science and Technology is important to understand the past as it allow us to learn what was the world is like before. In this modernization, most of us think that inventions and their uses are the only things about the science and technology. Since so many people has been misinterpret by its importance or purpose, it is only through the study of history that it will be understood because learning the history of science and technology, we understand more how the world functions and we learned to appreciate the struggles and discoveries of these people like from Einstein to Rutherford discovery of an atom’s nucleus, Szilard has discovered the atomic power behind splitting atoms, leading to the invention of the destructive atomic bomb. They’re contributions in the development of the world. Imagine from the vast galaxies that were compose of tiny stars to the discovery of atoms as the smallest thing and how transistor was able to produce weapons that cause catastrophe. It is greatly important to learn the development of history of science and technology because science and technology takes a big role that will contribute knowledge and access to human progress that will help the society and the next generations of people. Everything is connected and in order for us to understand anything we have to understand everything as what Hannu Rajaniemi have said.
