It works in many different ways, helping people to live their lives. i think you'd probably be able to see the main differences if you look at it from the NHS point of view. Todays society is an ageing population, as people are living longer and the whole "Baby Boom" (after the world war) is soon reaching a retirement age. So science has provided the NHS with lots of knowledge on recent conditions, that we may have and technology has provided the equipment for them to help out with the problems.\n\nSo because we're living in an ageing population then they're such things as stair lifts being provided to peoples homes, so it can help them live as independently as possible. That was just a quick example there are of course hundreds of other advantages it gives todays society.

I bet you can sit in your CHAIR in front of the COMPUTER, drinking a SOFT DRINK in a PLASTIC TUMBLER, listening to a RADIO and snacking on POPCORN popped in the MICROWAVE.\n\nThink about it... all you have to do is look around.  \n\nIf you are not living in a hide tent, hand starting a fire and cooking a rabbit you killed with a sling over a wooden spit, then you can see the evidence around you on how Science has benefited human beings.

One can only exchange the information with another  in the development of science and technology or \n\none can use the communication tools to steal the technology and copy it.\n\nOne can use the information to send it to particular level or person to make alter, change, improve, or to find a new things in Science and technology.

1. Learning new things\n2. Applying those things to help people\n3. finding better ways to accomplish things\n4. employment opportunities for people who don't actually want to do anything practical\n5. make a better world for the next generation.

The U.S. owes its success and prosperity to the combination of three factors: science, democracy, and capitalism.\n\nOur democracy assures us of the liberty we need to be creative and succeed through hard work.  Democracy gives us the freedom we need to have a vibrant culture, makes the rule of law possible, and enables educational opportunities for anyone who aspires to learn and expand their potential.\n\nThe interaction between science and capitalism produced the great technology upon which our economy and society is now based.  It has made possible a standard of living that would have been inconceivable 100 years ago.\n\nTherefore, it the interaction between science, democracy, and capitalism that produced the unique American society.

Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!

I believe its something that should not be missed out. It will help find a cure for a lot of diseases and maybe enable people to replace lost organs or limbs.\n\nJust like any other technology it may be prone to abuse. But should that stop you from considering the benefits. \n\nThe airplane enabled people to travel safely globally yet was also used for war. Would you have wanted that the plane was never invented. This goes on for a lot of other technologies which define things that are standard today and can't do without.

Talk to the people who would benefit from it.

Dont worry. As this world industrialzes and modernizes further the cultures that value education and knowlege will prosper. Those that do not will falter. Keep in mind we are on the cusp of two important revolutions; information sharing and energy. America and other developed countries have a lot to gain by improving the way people communicate and how we heat our houses, power our cars and travel around the world. We have only just begun to use science to improve our world. The things we will do in the future will make todays technology seem like the dark ages. So, dont be so fearful of the future. We have only just begun.

Technology improves and getting better!

Nanotechnology, like anything else, is being developed with the intentions of using it to help society (for good).  However, once developed, people will be able to think of all kinds of ways to use it for destructive purposes.

Sounds great. Except we lack the technology, know-how, resources, funding, interest, et cetera. So, good luck with that.

Well! according to me the role of US in the modern society has changed from the past. Previously t used to be known as the nation which could take the World to the next level of technology science. But now it is trying to dominate countries and make them obey its orders or face the consequences.

The difficulty is that technology only gives the power to change. It takes humans to decide which direction to change. Those that love power will use the technology to extend their power rather than to help others. There *have* been many advances made in the treatment of illnesses. Nobody today dies of smallpox. Nobody gets crippled by polio. Nobody goes deaf from mumps. Places with famines can get food shipped in to them.\n\nIn the past, if a crop failed (and this was common), people starved to death. Every place on earth was subject to this fear every year. Even the kings would have the fear of going without at times. Diseases were common and women died regularly in childbirth.\n\nSo, yes, there are diffciulties made by technology, but there are benefits also. The problem is people, not the technology.

There is a large amount of material about this on the internet. What exactly you are looking for, I do not know. I do not intend to write your term paper for you. Take a look at the web sites below to start. \n\nI will note that inventions are usually about technology, which is not the same as science. Technology can be used to produce better measurements. And applied science can produce technology. But they are not the same.
