The Miracles of Science
Science has revolutionized man’s life. There is hardly any sphere which has not been influenced by it. It has given us electricity, and has conquered time and distance. Modern means of transport and communication are also gifts of science.
We can travel faster, communicate better and keep in touch with what is happening around the world due to scientific inventions. Can you imagine a life without the electric bulb, running water, your school bus, the radio or the television? The miracles of science are so numerous and so common that we no longer regard them with wonder.
The paper you write on, the books you read, the clothes you wear, the medicines you take and some of the food you eat are all products of science. Thanks to medical research, incurable diseases can now be cured, and lives saved through sophisticated surgery.
We owe all our progress to science but should take care to use it for constructive purposes only —to make our lives comfortable and happy—and not for destructive purposes like making bombs. This is a gross misuse of science. We should all protest against its, misuse and ensure that it is used only to improve the lot of man, not to destroy him.
