 Science, technology, and Society
 Is an interdisciplinary program of study that focuses

on understanding the relationship between Scientific
development and the everyday life of people.
 Can you imagine the world without
Science and Technology? How about a
life without electricity?
- comes from the Latin word “scientia”
which means “knowledge’’
 - is a systematized body of knowledge
Based on experimentation, research and
facts
 - it is the study of something.
 Technology is literally the application of
Science.
 -it is the application of Science
 That’s
why it is really impossible to
separate science and technology.
 What are the examples of technology?

 Isa group of persons joined together for
a common purpose or by common
interest. The society make use of science
to come up with better technology in
order for its people to live in accordance
with their necessities.
 Science drives technology by making
technology possible through science
breakthroughs.(science discoveries)
 Without Technology, some science
experiments would not be possible
 They are contributing to one another.

 Science drives technology, Technology
drives Science (vise versa)
 Science is as old as the world itself. There
is no individual that can exactly identify
when and where the Science began.
From the Genesis of time, science has
existed. It is always interwoven with the
Society, so how can be science be
defined?
 1. Science as an Idea. It includes ideas,
theories, all available systematic
explanations and observation about the
natural world and Physical world.
 Examples of natural world
 Volcanoes
 Gravity
 Atoms
 Plants
 and etc.
 2.Science as intellectual activity. It
encompasses a systematic and practical
study of the natural and physical world.
This process of study involves systematic
observation and experimentation
 3. Scienceas body of knowledge. It is a

subject or discipline, a field of study, or a
body of knowledge that deals with the
process of learning about the natural
world and physical world.
 4.Science as a personal and social

unending efforts of Scientist, many
sickness and diseases like cancer were
considered uncurable sickness and
diseases. In transportation, railway,
modern ocean liner, jet plane and motor
vehicle have made our lives more
comfortable
 It can be easily manipulated by
irresponsible person
 Well be too dependent when technology
fails we are helpless (in one way or another)
 Sometime it affects our health and lifestyle
(like cellphone too much exposure to
radiation, we may feel severe headache and
a big chance to get pimples).It has increase
the anxiety of our lives
 Invasion of our privacy

religion and theological views.
