What is the relevance of physics and technology to the future?

Answer 1

In the most general sense, physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them. It is a very broad field, and is responsible for much of the technology available today.

A few examples:

• An understanding of Newton's Laws allows people to put satellites into orbit, design safer vehicles and build safe buildings.
• An understanding of electromagnetism allows people to build electrical circuits and computers.
• An understanding of the nature of light allows astronomers to determine the composition of stars without ever having to visit them.

Technology eases daily life with the expanded access to information, communication, and the efficiency of actions and processses. For example, cellphones, computers, and even Video Games can help us in many ways like cooking or listing to music and or simply talking to others.

Technology is important in life because it is the only economic force that is guaranteed to move in a forward direction (though the rate of forward movement very much depends on the factors acting upon the economy). To the individual, technology is important because it allows people to utilize tools that allow overcoming of mental and physical boundaries. Computational machines, for example, allow humans to calculate large, complicated formulas that would otherwise be difficult or timely to solve. Technology improves production methods, increases the quantity and quality (including security and integrity) of communication, and store and collect massive amounts of data (as well as analyze said data).

Answer 2

Throughout Human History, Physics (Nature Science) and Technology are the keys to the future. Physics and technology understand and manage the environment to secure Human futures or destroy Human futures.
