We live in the age of science.New scientific inventions have revolutionized human life.The comforts of daily life have also been so increased, and the distance between countries have been so minimized that the entire world seem like a big town.
In this scientific age our means of transport have undergone very drastic changes.Donkey carts and horse wagons have given place to motor cycles, cars, buses and trucks.Today we can move much faster than our legs can carry us.Railways, steamships and aeroplanes have given man mastery over land, sea and air, and the very forces of nature which would, otherwise,destroy us,have become our salves.The discovery of steam power and electricity has worked wonders in all walks of life.Power looms are taking the place of hand looms, and big industries are being worked with the force of steam,gas and electricity,Thus, the wealth of nation has increased and the world is marching towards happiness and comfort.
Science is also done the wonders in the world of medicine Treatment by X-ray and radio-active waves is one of the great wonders of science.Difficult surgical operation have become a routine these days, and many diseases like small pox, plague,T.B and cancer have been controlled.Wonderful drugs like penicillin, Chloroquine and many other antibiotics have killed these killers themselves. Quinine has finished malaria, and glucose injections put a new life in dying man. Again, with the help of plastic surgery one can easily overhaul the body of the wounded soldier or an injured man.
By finishing the barriers of distance, that formerly divided the world into so many parts, Science has also enabled us to send help to other part of the world in times of emergency. At home too, in our homes has gas stoves, electric cookers,oven,electric fans and lights etc.There is television and computer to entertain the people.
Our social life too has become more and more rich with the help of scientific inventions.Cinema entertains and,computer and television sweeten our lives.Thus, science has become a hand maid of man, It is working miracles for us But we should also see that this knowledge is not miss-used, and that man applies it only for the good of humanity.
