okays..let me practice essays here..
just 3 more days.


Science and Technology are the cause to many of the world's problems. Do you agree?.

Science and technology plays an important role in our daily lives and it is something we cant live without today. It has provided us with many soloutions to problems we encountered in the past, but has also inevitably brought about some of the problems which we faced today.

One of the problems caused by science and technology is stress. The unprecedented progress of science and technology has increased our pace of life and forced us to work more and faster than before. School students face more research projects and countless assignments, coupled with numerous tests and examinations, while the working class are undergoing skills development and training courses to acquire essential knowledge which allow them to increase their productivity. Hence, this has brought about the stress people are facing in this technologically advanced world. Thanks to science and technology, we have become more knowledgeable, multi-tasking, as well as stressed out individuals of modern's society.

Another problem is the inventions of science and technology such as handphones, computers and televisions have caused the breakdown of family network. These inventions have caused us to communicate less with our family members, and have started to move away from the tradition of having family gatherings. It is not uncommon to see a child go straight up to his room and stay there for the entire day, as he can now eat, sleep, study in his 'technologically-equipped' bedroom. At such, bondings between family members become weaker and communication with family members are severly limited.
Futhermore, these technologies have also caused social interactions to decline, as it discourages face to face interactions. It also encourages cowardly and anonymity behaviour, in which individuals hide behind computers and cell phones through communications with others, be it strangers or friends. This has caused an increase in crimes relating to rapes, pornographic operations as well as terrorist activities.

Science and technology have also caused problems to our environment. With the rapid pace of urbanization and industralisation, comes the rapid pace of degradation of the environment. Acres of land and fertile soil have to be dug out to give way to skyscrapers. Deforestation has destroyed habitats and disrupt ecosystems. Burning of forests for fertile soils for agriculture have also caused haze around the region, such as the haze problems in South East Asia caused by Indonesia in 1997 and 2006. We have used science and technology to create problems which affected our lives.

As seen from the above, science and technology have indeed caused many of the world's problem. However, it has provided some solutions to problems we have faced in the past. It can provide an escape route to our harsh realities of life, such as the inventions of drugs like viagra. It has given impotent man a new ray of hope and 'escape' from impotency, a harsh reality, and enter a new lease of life full of determination and hope. Science and technology have also helped in the advancement of the medical sciences. The invention of the IVF, In- Vitro fertilisation, has given married couples who are unable to have babies hope of experiencing the lives of being parents. Transplants of kidneys have also allowed patients with kidney failure to end their misery of the routine of the dialysis machine. Hence, we can see that science and technology can provide some solutions to problems we are facing today.

The invention of computers have also increased our work productivity, and also reduced our time spent on work. It enables us to type instead of spending long hours to write, and to send information to the other party within seconds via the internet. In a knowledge-based economy, it is important and essential that information are sent to other parties in the fastest time possible. It also enables us to communicate globally and also to asses to information around the world easily through the interent. Hence, science and technology has enabled us to reduce our time in doing work and make our lives more convenient.

Science and technology have also increased our standard of living in today's society. The invention of vehicles, and other transportations such as the aeroplanes have enabled us to travel to different places of the world within shorter periods of time compared to the past. This has thus provided the people with unparallel comfort and convenience. We have indeed benefitted fromscience and technology.

In conclusion, science and technology can be a solution and a cause to many of the world's problem. However, it is not science and technology, but the uses to which we put them determine its value. Science and technology are just some of the devices which we uses to flout the law of nature. However, if we put them to good use, they can grant us with countless benefits that will last for centuries to come.
