There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical {{U}}(31) {{/U}}; technology is a method of{{U}} (32) {{/U}}practical problems (and sometimes creating new problems out of
the "solutions"). Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships{{U}} (33) {{/U}}observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize{{U}} (34) {{/U}}facts and relationships; technology has to do{{U}} (35) {{/U}}tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science. Another distinction between science{{U}} (36) {{/U}}technology has to do with the progress in each.
Progress{{U}} (37) {{/U}}science excludes the human factor. And this is justly so. Scientists,{{U}} (38) {{/U}}seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or{{U}} (39) {{/U}}or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people -- as{{U}} (40) {{/U}}Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the option of refusing to{{U}} (41) {{/U}}it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the option of refusing to{{U}} (42) {{/U}}the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft{{U}} (43) {{/U}}overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted{{U}} (44) {{/U}}; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science, progress in{{U}} (45) {{/U}}must be measured in{{U}} (46) {{/U}} of the human factor. Technology must be our slave and not the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people — people in{{U}} (47) {{/U}}, not merely some peoples and future generations, not merely{{U}} (48) {{/U}} who presently wish to gain advantage{{U}} (49) {{/U}}themselves. Technology must be humanistic{{U}} (50) {{/U}}it is to lead to a better world.
