How do science and technology affect society?

Answer 1

Technology and Science have to be looked at individually.

Technology, when though of, is what man has created ("tech" means craft). Technology can govern what is said about art or applied sciences. Technology affects our society because technology is all around us. It is what allows us to advance forward through our eras. Primitive technology could be considered hammers made by Neanderthals.

Science is very different from technology. Science is not what we can create, but is more focused on our world and how it functions. Learning how a bird flies is science, but mimicking a bird through aviation would be technology. Science is about gathering knowledge through a systematic perspective and creating theories and laws to prove what we have learned. Science IS our world, and that is how it affects the world.

Science and technology are just words created by humans and therefore humans decided what is technology and what is science.
