SCIENCE AND HUMAN COMFORT

SCIENCE AND HUMAN COMFORT

The progress today is all because of science. Science has brought a great revolution in all the fields of our life. The impossibilities have been achieved through science. Now miracles are happening daily. Science has given power and self-confidence to man. It is because of Science that today man is the master of all around him.  Science is a friend of man and it has done and doing much in the service of humanity. Emerson says: “Science surpassed the old miracles of mythology.” Science has shortened distances. In the past, journeys and travels took much time. People departed from their relatives and friends with sad hearts. Now those days are gone. We can traverse long distances in just a few hours. The fast moving trains and aero planes are across the world in the twinkling of an eye. Sitting beside your radio, you can enjoy a match, being played thousands of miles away. On television you cannot only hear the speaker but also see his picture. The bonds of friendship and the ties of love between the people of different countries have been strengthened. Science has brought man nearer to man and this is a good service. In the past, life was drudgery. There was no amusements the radio amuses us, and the cinema entertains us. Electricity is our maid servant. She does every impossible and difficult job for us. She moves the fans, heats the room, illuminates the cities, presses the clothes, works the machines and cooks our food. There are calculating machines. Computers are present to lesson our burden, and save our lives. In short, life has been made easy and now it is not a bed of thorns as it used to be in the past. A disease was monster in the past. Now medical Science helped us fight against the most deadly diseases. Death – rate has been reduced. Now the dead can be brought to life. Lungs can be replaced and can be operated upon. Surgery has worked wonders. Now heart transplant is possible. Grafting can replace useless or ugly parts of body. Hunger and famine struck the people in the past. Now the hunger and famines break out very rarely. Progress and research in the field of agriculture has increased the production. Fertilizers never allow the soil to go barren. It has reduced human misery.
