Science and technology

Science and technology are deeply interconnected fields that drive each other's advancement. Science involves the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation, aiming to generate knowledge and understanding of various phenomena. In contrast, technology applies this scientific knowledge to create practical solutions and tools that address real-world problems. While science seeks to explain how things work, technology focuses on how to use that understanding to improve human life and solve specific challenges. This symbiotic relationship means that advancements in one often lead to innovations in the other, exemplifying how together they shape our society and environment.
