This article is not about the technique and skills,rather it is like an essay on the importance of science and technology for students.
so let us try to find out the importance of science and technology as fallow.

| Importance of science and technology |
Technology is basically the way we execute the discoveries of science and blend it with our own needs. Technology is a general term used to refer to the different tools, machines and equipment we use in everyday life.
These tools and equipment have been invented by man to make the tasks faster, easier and more comfortable.

Advancements of Technology:
Since the invention of the wheel to the use of microchips in computers and mobiles, technology has come a long way.
The man has reached the moon and explored the outer space just because of the advancement in the aeronautics field. Even in primitive occupations such as agriculture, there have been so many technological advancements with modern tools such as traction engine and steam tractor technology which has helped us make progress.
What are the example of technology?
Prominent Examples
Although there have been countless examples where technology has changed our lives, there are some which are considered as revolutions for mankind. The technology used in the field of robotics in one such fine example.Nowadays robots are being used by people and industries all over the world for various purposes. They are also used in places which are otherwise considered harmful for humans thereby protecting us. One such area is the cleaning and managing of radioactive waste.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another field which is a classic example of the technological advancements man has achieved.
Who could have imagined that a machine would be capable of thinking like us? That is what AI has been successful in doing. It is an intelligent machine capable of behaving like us.
It can do activities such as problem-solving, planning, learning and even reasoning. Today AI is used in all major areas such as warfare, security, healthcare and communication. On top of this, it is far more efficient than us and has a lower rate of error.

Importance of Technology:
Technology has its own importance in our lives. Without technological advancements, our lives would not have been simpler and faster.
The modernization that the world is witnessing today has all been possible because of the technological developments in different fields.
Moreover, it has helped in reducing the risks people had to undertake in many sectors such as mining. With new tools available, the tasks are less risky and are more efficient as well.

Drawbacks of Technology:
Although technological advancements are important for us, it is also true that we seem to be over-dependent on them nowadays.
The drawbacks of technology can be seen in the following ways:
1. The use of mobiles was meant to be able to keep in touch in difficult times. But now we see kids too much involved in the different applications on mobiles and killing their valuable time.
2. Many crimes have been reported through the misuse of digital technology.
3. Also, it has been seen that many people lack the basic education required to ensure the proper use of the technology available today. In fact, most of them use it for the sake of fashion and hence end up misusing it.
4. People have been so dependent on technology that they no more want to do any kind of manual activity. Even for small works that can be done manually, people prefer to do it through technology. This has resulted in making humans mentally as well as physically dormant.
Conclusion:
Technology is surely a boon for mankind. It is all the more important for the economic growth of a country. Modern technologies have in fact succeeded in reducing the human effort and the risk in doing a lot many things. But, still, it is for us to see how best we make use of the technology available to us.
While on one hand we can make use of technological advancements of nuclear energy to generate electricity and help many villages lighten us, at the hand the same nuclear energy can be used to create bombs which can cause mammoth destruction.
Similarly, robots and other technological advancements have served as a good servant to us but the moment it becomes the master it can wipe off humanity from the Earth.
Science and technology like fire can either cook man’s food or cook the man himself. Nothing is harmful until it is used with harmful intentions.
Similarly science and technology in themselves are not disastrous. It is the ill and inhumane use that make them so. Alfred Nobel, one of the most renowned scientists was criticized so much when he invented dynamite.
However, later on when it was used to clear mountains and rocks while making roads across rough, mountainous terrains, his invention was highly praised.
Science and technology have given man innumerable machines, gadgets, and devices such as TV, AC, computers, vehicles, internet, smartphones, etc. These things have made his life so easy and full of comforts.
Science and technology have the potential to solve all of man’s problems and challenges provided it is put to right use. But this potential is not being explored. Man is busy misusing science.
For example, our planet earth has so much of Uranium, Thorium, Plutonium, etc.
that if used optimally, abundant power can be generated for all the people living in all the countries of the planet.
The sad thing is man’s focus is on creating deadly nuclear weapons out of these wonderful resources given to him by beneficent Nature.
All the problems pertaining to pollution, environmental degradation, etc. can be solved using science.
All the cities of the world can be converted into smart cities using science;
all the vehicles that emit toxic gases can be converted into zero emission vehicles using science; all the sewage, garbage, effluents, toxic fumes coming out of chimneys can be turned into non-polluting substances using science.
However this is being done only in the most advanced countries of the world.
In the recent terrorist activities conducted in Berlin and Nice, the terrorists killed many innocent people by ramming Lorries into the crowded areas and running people down.
Here the attention needs to be paid to the fact is the same Lorries are used in transporting goods over long distances.
Lorries were not the cause of the disasters, the men behind were the steering wheels of the Lorries were. Similarly, science is exactly like those Lorries. It is up to man whether he uses it or misuses.
