Computer science (or computing science) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.. Computer Science is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes that describe and transform information; the fundamental question underlying computer science is, 'What can be (efficiently) automated?. Computer science has many sub-fields; some, such as computer graphics, emphasize the computation of specific results, while others, such as computational complexity theory, study the properties of computational problems. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describing computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems, and human-computer interaction, focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable and universally accessible to people. The general public sometimes confuses computer science with other vocational areas that deal with computers, such as information technology (IT), or think that it relates to their own experience of computers, which typically involves activities such as gaming, web-browsing, and word-processing. However, the focus of computer science is more on understanding the properties of the programs used to implement software such as games and web-browsers, and using that understanding to create new programs or improve existing ones.

Technology is the application of science into real life. The relation can be expressed using UML by generalization this way: science <-- technology


Is electronics a branch of science or technology?

The behavior of the electric charges in the electronics is a branch of scientific study. The application of the electronics is technology.


Cite an example why science is older than technology?

In some ways, Science and Technology are considered the same thing. Science is the study and developement of new understanding of our physical world. Technology is the application of science into products that can be used outside the laboratory. For example: A company developed a fluorine-containing polymer that was called "Teflon". It's application found ways to coat cooking pots so food would not stick to it. Some aspects of science has been observed and known for many centuries and only recenly did Technology find a way to make that discovery useful. For other discoveries, the role of Science and the role of Technology merged at the same time to make a useful product.


What si the application of scientific knowledge for practical processes?

Science can be applied for practical purposes by its nature of answering questions about the natural world, using logical inferences, evidence and hypotheses to obtain a theory and explanation. Science, in essence, is the leading system and method for obtaining our knowledge of the world.
