In consequence, science is more important than ever for industrial technology.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Engineering or technology is all about using the power of science to make life better for people, to reduce cost, to improve comfort, to improve productivity, etc.
While technology is important, it's what we do with it that truly matters.
Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit.
Much of contemporary science is really the length and shadow of the technology we apply.
Advances in technology will continue to reach far into every sector of our economy. Future job and economic growth in industry, defense, transportation, agriculture, health care, and life sciences is directly related to scientific advancement.
We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
