Pretty well everything we need to live now needs science. Cars, planes, TV, radio, internet even my central heating has controls in it. Making cornflakes and microwave chips, jeans and jumpers … all science. There’s pretty much nothing we so now unless we live in hut and farm with no machines, that doesn’t need science.

I second that. The keyboard and computer you’re using right now are based on complex science, many foods are now produced through complex scientific processes. It’s also a way of helping understand our place in the world as humans. Technological and scientific advances have meant that we humans have changed the way the world is and works dramatically in the last 200 years, and science will also help us deal with these changes.

And I second both Chris and Paddy. We all use so much technology in our daily lives, like the alarm clock that woke you up in the morning, the power shower/central heating hot water, the bus to work, the computer I’m typing this on… It didn’t come out of no-where. Scientific discoveries allowed people to develop these gadgets that we now take for granted. I’d rather not be living in a cold mud hut, heating myself and my food from my fire and having to walk miles in search of food every day – but that’s where we’d be without science!

I agree with everything that has been said and what is amazing is the rate at which scientific advances and discoveries are being made they are being made faster and faster.

Science keeps people busy, they can ask why, why, why even as adultd without being told of for nagging. That’s great.
