if the ancestors of
man were wakeup after their
long sleep of centuries ,they would be
amazed to see the world today
.the amazement would be just because the rapid advance of science has
change the world beyond recognition. The benefits conferred by science are so numerous
and wonderful that they are felt in every department of life. in the field of
medicine and surgery, it has worked wonders .it has given eyes to the blind,
ear to deaf and relief to the suffering .terrible diseases like plague, small
pox, cholera and typhoid have been conquered .plastic surgery can transform an
ugly woman into a beauty queen .heart transplants are now possible .even the
sex can now be changed.
Science has enabled man to conquer time and space as result
of which the world has shrunk .man can fly like birds in the air ,swim like fish , rockets and
spacecraft s.man has reached the moon .science has revolutionized the means of
communication through the telegraph ,telephone,telex,fax etc. radio
,televisions, video games ,cinema etc. , at very cheap prices .machines have
released man from drudgery and from unintelligent and dangerous work .
But nobody can claim that science is unmixed blessing. no doubt,
science has given us knowledge and power but it has failed to give us wisdom
.what an irony of fate it is that we have better medicine and surgical
instruments but we have much weaker constitutions and health .man produces vast
quantities of goods but he does not distribute them evenly .the artificial
shortage of goods, hoarding and profiteering are a peculiar feature of this
present age. Science advances but all those things which make life worth living
are neglected.
Terrible engines of destruction –long range artillery,
mines, u-boats, pilotess rocket plans, atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, nitrogen
bombs –have been invented and caused havoc. The specter of war and destruction
hunts the world and nobody is safe.
indeed science is more a curse than a blessing .it will
continue to be a great curse unless man ‘s
conscience and moral growth keeps pace with scientific advance .so long
as science continues to be the handmaid of war , civilization is bound to be
dark indeed . You also connect me on this page:- http://facebook.com/bhanugargseo
