Science is a blessing as well as a curse.
Science is a special knowledge that is vast and huge. We have always used it for the betterment of ourselves and for nation. It has made our life more comfortable and has fulfilled our basic requirements. Development in different parts of science has changed our life completely but still it has its own disadvantages.
Science is a blessing because it has helped us to meet basic requirements and has changed our living style to a great extend. Science has gifted us calculator, mobile television, phones and Internet.. In today’s competitive world we are far ahead because of the scientific discoveries. Difficult calculations are done within no time. News reaches us directly. Gone are the days when people used to wait for newspapers. When all are busy with their work washing machines, chimneys, vacuum cleaners,mixergrinders save us in our everday life. Moreover the e books that are available in different websites for free have reduced the burden of the students to a great extend. Earlier people used to wait for their favorite theater dramas to be staged as there was limited entertainment but all thanks to internet that now there is abundance of entertainment. Today we get to see our near ones who stay far away from us just by clicking a video call button. Satellites are now providing us accurate information just before the calamities and are able to save thousands of lives. The weather forecast is becoming better day by day.. Chemotherapy, radiation advanced ventilation facilities are saving millions of life every day. Again many chronic diseases like sugar and blood pressure that are life threatening are treated with medicines like insulin Losar 50 etc.. Development of science is helping many to have their bp and sugar under control.
It leaves no space for argument that science is a blessing but simultaneously it has some disadvantages as well. For example when we talk about mobiles we always highlight its positive side but research is saying something else. It was actually invented to save us but it is now destroying our mother nature. Now a days we hardly get to see pure fresh coconuts and sparrows are getting extinct day by day. Its heartbreaking but it is the mobiles who are responsible for this. Cyber crime is reaching its peak at an alarming rate. The radiation emitted from the mobiles even when they are switched off is affecting human brains and animals around. Getting brain tumour and Cancer are becoming common among the youth and one primary reason behind this is mobile and laptops. Atomic theory or to be specific atom bombwas discovered by Albert Einstein.His intention was to breakdown huge mountains so that roads and tunnels can be made and communication and transportation becomes easier. But now it is becoming a show of power..It has destroyed many places and many lives. Ironically the thing that was discovered to save the world has actually destroying the world in a way.
In conclusion I would like to say that the damages that has happened and that are happening are all the consequences of our desire to meet ouur personal requirements. “No man is perfect” goes an old saying.. Similarly nothis is perfect just like science. It comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. It is our responsibility to accept its good sides and reject the bad ones.. We all should use it for our betterment and for the progress of our nation.
