“Significance of Learning the History of Science and

Technology”
In the old days, people used to utilize physical labor in order to accomplish
their daily work load and activities, and as time went on, there were significant
factors that opened up current possibilities in order to make our daily lives more
comfortable and convenient for everyone to live. With the help of science and
technology, human society has been able to overcome different challenges when
it comes to life.

Because of human intelligence, many innovations have been achieved

during many years of studying and exploring human capacity, and learning its
history enables us to achieve greater excellence. When we think of it, it really is
important to study the history of science and technology for us to be able to
understand its significance and also to identify in which field we should continue
to study in order to maximize its full potential.

In the present time, science and technology play a significant role in

society, and they can greatly influence the way people live their lives because
they are partially part of how we survive every day through the appliances that
we use, transportation, communication, and sources of energy. All of it is the fruit
of decades of learning and innovation and it is very important to learn what the
origin of these gifts of the past is for the future generation.
