Science produces wonderful things. We are living in the modern age of science. We can see the work of sciencein each and every walk of life. But it plays not only constructive but also destructive role. In the one hand, it has given us good and comfortable things, it has created destructive things like atom bomb, dynamite, automatic guns on the other.
The progress of science in the field of medicines and surgery is remarkable. Many new medicines are available today to cure us of some deadly diseases. Now major operations of the brain or the heart are easy. Such operations were neither safe nor simple some twenty years ago. X-ray used to be a wonderful job some years ago. But today some more developed techniques have been produced to get the symptoms of diseawses very soon. Naturally the death-rate is reducing every year.
Science has shown wonderful developments in the field of travelling. The age of horses and bullock carts is gone. It is an age of jet planes which fly faster than the sound. Distance is no problem now. We have cars, jeep, trucks, buses, trains, trams, ships, airplanes, helicopters, etc. Big mountains and deep seas don’t stand in our way.
Telegraph, wireless, telephone, radio and television are some other gifts of science. These things have made the world look small. They have solved problem of time and space in the world. The invention of electricity has produced lots of facilities to us. We don’t feel night as a curse. Nights are bright. Nowadays all development depends on electricity.
But we should not try to forget the world wars which were caused by the development of science. They were a curse for humanity. Nuclear weapons can finish the whole world in no time. Tanks, bombs, war planes are very dangerous.
We can conclude that science has both constructive and destructive roles. But on whole it can give us many new things of use if we use it rightly. It is neither good nor bad by itself. It depends on how we use it. So science is always in the service of man. Let us make the best use of it.
