Science — A Friend or Foe

             Science is neither a friend nor a foe. It all depends on how you utilize it. Thus we cannot determine whether science is bad or good, — it depends on the person who uses it. If you utilize it to make a television-set, it is as good as a friend, but if you use it to develop an atomic bomb which can cause great harm to the world, it becomes an enemy. Thus, it depends on the usage of science.
             These days we are living dangerously. Both the super powers, the USSR and the USA, have developed deadly weapons, with the use of science of course, which can practically wipe out the whole world. It will not take very long to push a button in the USA and see the destruction taking place in China. Here science is just an enemy to mankind.
But, there are people who are using science to better the standard of living. People, who have invented the radio, the television, telephone, electricity, etc. have done a great service to mankind with the use of science has also helped us in developing various medicines which cure even the fell diseases.
             So, what is important in this context is the proper usage of things. Science should be used to develop things which will bring comfort mid ease in everyone’s life. When science brings bliss, it is a friend and when it brings curs, it is a foe.
