Is science a boon to human life?

 

  ….I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster such as sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or other dangers. I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space. I therefore want to encourage public interest in space. (Steven Hawking)

Science is referred to as a system of objective knowledge obtained through deep researches done by the human being. There are a number of branches of science, out of which earth science, physical science and life science are the major branches. These three are considered as pure sciences. The earth science involves the study of structure and composition of the earth. The physical science is associated with the nature and behavior of energy and matter. Astronomy involves the study of the universe beyond the earth. Life science is also known as biology, which deals with the study of evolution, development, distribution, structure, origin and function of the living things. Other branches of science are associated with the practical application of result of scientific activity.

 

2. There are no qualms in accepting the fact that science is the biggest revolution ever to planet Earth. Science is applied in every field and every aspect of life. With the help of scientific inventions and techniques, we have got all the latest facilities and high living standards. It's the science, with the help of which human being has reached beyond the space and stepped on the Moon and sent a spacecraft to Mars. However, a normal human being has no idea to what extent has this field advanced today. As the saying goes, every rose has its thorns, and here we have a comprehensive review of the adversities this revolution has brought about.

 

3. Environmental Impacts. Environmental issues are the biggest concern that planet Earth is facing. Depleting ozone layer, increased global warming, reduced vegetation, climate change, animal extinction... and the list goes on and on! It is the development of industries and establishment of plants that has harmed everyone on the planet. Industrial areas, urbanization, etc. are some areas of scientific advancements, but the price is too high to be ignored.

 

4. Health Impacts. Medical science is no less than a blessing to mankind. Medicines produced all over the world are perceived to be a foolproof cure to a person's illness. However, there are some negatives associated with medical science too. Today, excessive consumption of drugs can lead to death. Moreover, incorrect consumption of any dosage may lead to fatal maladies, cure of which is next to impossible. Where medical science has advanced to an unbelievable extent, it entangles with itself perils of all kinds, and just a slight ignorance may prove to be a matter of life and death.

 

5. Technological Impacts. Technology might have made our daily life easier, but it has rendered health issues as well. Tremendous reliance and dependence on electronic gadgets, appliances, and most importantly, computer technology has made human life so lethargic that people are witnessing old age much before they are actually supposed to. With zero physical activity, science might have proven its mettle as an amazingly efficient service to its users, but has got the world adversely hooked to it!
