Science has made tremendous advancement in different sphere of life. It has completely changed the face of the earth. If the dead souls could rise from their graves and the see the marvels of our time they would be simply bewildered and amaze. The goddess of science has blessed us with one hand but its demerits are no less significant.
New scientific inventions have revolutionised human life. The whole society has undergone manifold changes. Time and space have been conquered and long distances have been narrowed down. Explorations in space have opened new vistas for the study of man. Many new medicines have come to our rescue. It is now possible to prevent many infectious diseases. The longevity of life has increased. Science also provides entertainment to millions of people. In agriculture, the use of fertilizer, manure and latest methods of farming are sure to increase our foodstuff, ten times more. So also industry has also made gigantic strides with the help of latest machines, now in operation everywhere. The forces of nature have become our slaves. The discovery of stem-power and electricity has worked wonders happiness and comforts. With the help of science, a new civilization has emerged. In our houses, offices and market places, we see the wonders of science.
But there is nothing like unmixed good in the world. Human life itself, as Shakespeare says is but "a mingled yarn ___ good and ill together" The ugly yarn which science has woven in the garments of human personality are not negligible. Machines have snatched away from us the calm of min and peacefulness of our environment. We are surrounded by a perpetual din and dazzle, noise and unrest. We are badly caught in the entangling apparatus of money and machinery.
Science has, no doubt, provided us with an enormous stock of knowledge but it has failed to guide us as how to put it to the best use. The moral developments of man has been totally neglected. As a result of this, we have more knowledge will certainly make our lives very miserable.
In the use of scientific knowledge a balance should be maintained. The side of character and self-control should never be neglected otherwise the whole civilization will be destroyed.
