The importance of science and technology at present gives lots of contibution in the industrialization of a certain country, for example with the use of internet, mobile phones, distance learning, helps us do our work faster and easier. That is why the development and study of science and technlogy is very important... it is important because it helps the nation and people.

"Equipped with his five senses, man explores the world around him and calls the adventure Science". Edwin Powell Hubbard. Man has risen above other lifeforms because we explore and learn and teach. Each tribe of humans learns from nature and then tries to find meaning in what we learn. We begin to learn in a subjective way, the way of magical-thinking. And, every tribe finds different meanings. When tribes got together, they learned that subjective thinking was not good enough. How could we learn the real truths in nature if every tribe found different meanings? We needed to find a way to think clearly, objectively. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Euclid in ancient times worked on finding a method of thinking that would help all humans to see the real truths in nature, an objective way to explore and learn and possibly find meaning. Euclid in his 13 volumes called "Elements" described and used the new method of thinking clearly, a method we now call "science". Science is only a tool for looking at the world around us in an honest, clear unbiased way. It's the best method for clear thinking that we have found so far. After Euclid, people began to use the method called science to solve problems. Thinking logically or clearly makes our brains stronger. Logic or rational thought makes new neuro-electrical pathways in our brains. We got smarter. When Romans wanted a waterway built one year, a tribe of people called the Etruscans were very smart with the scientific method. A group of Etruscans got the contract to build the waterway. They used the scientific method and invented one of the most important things we humans had invented up until then . . .the wedged arch. http://www.usi.edu/artdept/artinindiana/Glossary/images/arch.jpg
What was so important about this wedge was that it was one of the very first times in human history that we re-shaped rocks, made them do what WE wanted them to do instead of just finding rocks that would fit together. We CHANGED nature, so to say. We started breaking rocks open then and really looking at them on the inside, at what they might be made of. We grounded them up into small pieces and smaller and smaller until we learned about the different elements (Periodic Table) and then even smaller until we learned about atoms and then particles and then photons and beyond. As we used the scientific method through the centuries, we learned better and better ways to live and be safe and healthy. Many of those better ways have been the tools and processes and machines that we call technology. The more closely that we looked at nature, the better we have come to live. For example, people used to pour human bodily wastes into our drinking water and when we got sick from drinking the water, we used magical-thinking and blamed spirits and gods and demons. But, with a tool to look more closely at nature, a microscope, we could see the tiny bacteria in the bad water and we learned a better way to live and stopped putting waste into drinking water. With new special tools for seeing nature, we recently took a real picture of the beginning of the universe:

The greatest importance of science today is that it looks clearly at nature. Nature's truths (the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, hot air rises, etc.) are the only UNIVERSAL truths that ALL humans share. If we are to ever learn how to live together in peace and still enjoy our own cultures and beliefs, we need science and it's objective view of nature to gives us a common ground to unite around.

It allows the undeserving to get others to do their homework for them.

This is important because teachers have to watch for it and people like me get to have some fun with those people who attempt to cheat.
