Read this essay entitled Put a Little Science in Your Life (by Brian Greene)
and answer the questions that follow:
"When we consider the ubiquity of cellphones, iPods, personal computers
and the Internet, it's easy to see how science (and the technology to which
it leads) is woven into the fabric of our day-to-day activities. When we
benefit from CT scanners, M.R.I. devices, pacemakers and arterial stents,
we can immediately appreciate how science affects the quality of our lives
When we assess the state of the world, and identify looming challenges
like climate change, global pandemics, security threats and diminishing
resources, we don't hesitate in turning to science to gauge the problems
and find solutions.
And when we look at the wealth of opportunities hovering on the
horizon-stem cells. genomic sequencing, personalized medicine,
longevity research, nanoscience, brain-machine interface, quantum
computers, space technology--we realize how crucial it is to cultivate a
general public that can engage with scientific issues, there's simply no
other way that as a society we will be prepared to make informed decisions
on a range of issues that will shape the future."
