Scientia
In our life at this generation, you can see the big difference between technologies, from frying pans, helicopters, alarm clock to the desktop and laptop computers. All these things serve to make life easier and more pleasant. Science has nothing to say to us in these categories, merely providing aids and shortcuts. Without them, life would be no more than the struggle for survival; there would be no time or incentive to pursue higher things.
Science gives us safe food, free from harmful bacteria, in clean containers. It also teaches us to eat properly, indicating a diet balanced. The results are freedom from disease and prolonged life. Science has also improved clothing and made it more appropriate for climatic and working conditions. Home, school, office, all bear witness to the progress and application of Science.
Science has been completely beneficial to ordinary living when properly applied. When misused, it is equally harmful. Land can be poisoned by chemicals, people can suffer industrial disease, war can mobilize Science to man's own destruction. Science is a good servant, but man must remain master.
