Science technology can be found in nearly all aspects of everyday life. For instance, if electricity had never been discovered, electric appliances, heaters, lights, and television would never exist. Electronic components found in radios, televisions, watches, and calculators are now smaller and more reliable than before. Advances in electronics are responsible for what is called the computer age. Because of the computer technology, information can be processed in seconds.


At one time, computers were extremely expensive. They were rarely found outside the laboratories and large businesses. Since they are now more economically e, computers can be found in many homes, schools, stores, and libraries. Computers facilitate travel plans by providing travel agents with easy access to flight schedules, prices, and seating availability. Businesses use computers to track inventory, purchase and sell stocks, calculate payrolls and perform many other functions. Computers are also used as educational devices in schools, to monitor home-heating systems, and to guide satellite and space probes. In the future computers may have microprocessors produced in outer space, because the environment there is devoid of the Earth’s dust and gravitational forces.

The battle against disease and illness has also gained much from science. Safer surgical procedures are now in use including those for organ transplantation and coronary bypass surgery. Many procedures have been improved because of the development of specialized medical instruments. Some instruments enable physicians to see inside the body without making a single incision. Others can carry out essential bodily functions, such as pumping blood or breathing. Medical researches are making progress toward the production of artificial blood, which may eventually eliminate the threat of contracting diseases transmitted during blood transfusions. One such disease is acquired immune deficiency syndrome, also know as AIDS. This fatal disease attacks the immune system, rendering it incapable of warding off infections.
