Science in Daily Life

Points: Part and parcel of modern life — For the benefit of the common man — Revolution  In medicine and surgery.

             We are living in an age when science has completely changed our daily life. Man’s landing on the moon or sending spacecraft o Mars are spectacular events. But the common man is grateful to science for other things. These things make his daily life a Little less toilsome and more cheerful. He cannot think of a world in which there are no books and newspapers, no electricity, no telephone, no radio or TV, no trains and cars, no buses and aero planes, no medicines for curing the dreadful diseases. All these are gifts of science.
             An up-to date office is not complete without its typewriter, xeroxing machine, a teleprompter and now a word processor and computer. We are used to electric fans and room coolers, and on hot days, refrigerators. Our streets and houses blaze with light at night. All the inventions of science ultimately come to the use of the common man. Science is everywhere and for everybody. The booking counters of railways and airports have already been computerized and reservations have become quick and fool-proof.
             Science is saving life and giving new life to man. The vaccines and antibiotics have made life safer. The terror of cholera, typhoid, smallpox and other epidemics is gone for every. The average expectation of life has gone up and child mortality been much reduced. Surgery is doing miracles. Pacemakers are assuring new life to heart patients and scanners are revealing the exact spots of disease in the human body. Even heart transplantation and brain operation are taking place successfully. Our daily life is growing happier with the help of science. The new researches on superconductor may soon bring about revolution in machines and locomotives There is no end to the wonders of science, it seems, and no end to the miracles of science in our daily life.
