About Science and Technology

What is science?

When we listen a word Science, There are so many pictures come in our mind. A fate textbook, white lab coats and microphones, an astronomer peering through a telescope, a naturalist in rainforest, Einstein’s equation scribbled on a chalkboard, the launch of a space shuttle, bubbling beakers etc. All of those images reflect some aspect of science, but none of them provide a full picture because science has so many facets.
