What are the importance of Sciensce and Technology to your daily life?

Answer 1

There is science in everything you, touch, see, smell, taste, hear, and do. Even your farts are science...

You could not live the life you have without science. Plastic comes from crude oil. Go around your home and see all that is made from plastics.

Your food germinates and grows, science,
The meat you eat, biology, Science.
The clothing you wear science
The home you live in and the car you ride in Science
And yes your fart, methane gas, science!!!

So go eat some beans and be a genius for a day!!!

Answer 3

I do all my long distance communicating via the internet. For local a cell phone.. without them I am sunk.

Answer 4

From the moment I wake to the moment I sleep science and technology affect my every moment.

Lets put it in perspective.
Breakfast
No science way.
If the weather was good I'd race out and pluck up a raw root or find something dead to eat. Maybe I'd luck into finding berries, birds eggs or bugs. It would take a good part of the morning to find breakfast. The food would not be safe of course. It'd be raw, it might be contaminated or diseased but it was food and when you are a hunter gatherer any food is good food. If the weather was not good there would be no breakfast or it would take all day to find enough food to eat one meal. I would be frozen and possibly suffering from frostbite. Might be soaked to the bone but hunger is stronger than cold or wet in the motivations list.

Modern breakfast.
I reach into the fridge for a nice sterile beverage that is relitively safe to drink. Any danger would be from long term consumption or a freak contamination. I might microwave a breakfast bowl or conviently grab eggs and fry them up. I might have berries embedded in waffles or eat them out of a container almost year round. I would squish any bugs I found rather than eat them.

Technology means food in plenty. It means safe food. It means fast food. It means better nutrition. The hunter gatherer days it could take all day to find breakfast and some days there would be no food at all. Especially in winter or during storms. There was no way to store food.

In ancient times food was salted and spiced to make it last longer. You could purchase food if you had money and there was no famine. Still if you lived very long at all you were to experience famine at one time or another. Even the rich suffered during times of famine. The food you ate might kill you dead that day. It might be contaminated with a disease, it might choke you, it might have gone bad but was too spiced to be noticed. It took somebody, typically the wife/mother hours to prepare your food. Days of work went into getting grains into edible states. Hours of work into gathering either from markets or wild sources fruits, vegitables and berries when they were in season. When they were not you sufferered nutritional outages of many vitiamens and minerals. Getting enough food was a major task for all but the wealthiest.

In the dark ages food was more plentifull but times of famine were still real and common events. You ate a diet mostly of the parts nobody else wanted to eat because it was food and any food was good food. Mills and other such advancements in technology mean that it only took several hours to prepare a meal, not the days of work it tood only a few hundred years before. There was still no way to store food. Most people drank alcholic beverages to purify water drawn from rivers and lakes polluted with raw sewage. Concepts of sanitation were almost non-existant still. Life was short and hard for most. You lived by the seasons and suffered in the weather. You spent almost all your time securing food and shelter and staying out of the executioners noose. If you were a man you prayed for peace and when peace failed you hoped to survive the wars and banditry. If you were a woman you prayed for peace and hoped your male providers survived because the alternitives could be very grim.

I think you get the idea about food. Until very recently people spent the builk of their lives just trying to stay warm, fed and sheltered. Avoiding violent death was a major part of lifes charms and disease haunted everybody from awakening to sleep. Nobody escaped it's ravages and for most it meant a slow wasting death.

Today I can talk to people all over the world instantly. I can exchange ideas, learn like nobody has before. I can live my life without completely destroying the area around me. The romanticism about hunter gatherers is almost completley a lie. The more primitive the technology the worse it was for the environment. It was only the lack of numbers that kept hunters and gatherers from desertifying large tracks of the world. I can use my knowledge and opinion to help the world. Even as recently as 20 years ago it was difficult to help anybody who didn't live or work directly with you.

I live with the knowledge I can go to the Doc any time I want if I have the money to do so. That most ailments can be cured and that at least there is treatment for symtoms of others that cannot. I live knowing that my children might live to be 300 or more or that my grandchildren may never die of age or disease.

The single most important thing about technology in my opinion is it freed the human mind. Until being freed of the constant hunt for food and battle of survival each day higher thoughts were just not possible or practical. Beliefs were hard to form and even harder to live by. The very concepts of justice, peace and value of life are a direct byproduct of science and technology.
