Space Technology

Science and technology can not be studied outside the social context in which they appear. Between science and technology there is a clear state of symbiosis, in other words, living together for mutual benefit. Although the effect of both acting together is infinitely greater than the sum of the effects of each acting separately.

Yet, given these developments that could not even imagine the highways of the past, began to appear increasingly serious questions about the place that it is science and technology in our society, and also has a record as not to can ignore such problems. I read a phrase written by Albert Camus, which caught my attention, reads as follows:

"The seventeenth century was one of the mathematics, the eighteenth century the science physics, the nineteenth century of biology and our twentieth century is the century of fear."

Is this true?, We could say yes, because science and technology have been so popular, so much development that today many fear that science and technology come to destroy the world. Many people see it as follows, how many people have died in accidents car? If science and technology had not created then have not occurred. But leaving behind the other side of the coin, how many people have been saved thanks to the transport car? How long would it take to move from one place to another? If they had not developed these inventions. What unites science and technology with society is the needs and desires of society.

Many people consider science as a threat, not only in our time but for many years, is a classic case of Galileo who was condemned by the pope, since it considered that the new method of considering the truth was a great challenge to the authority of tradition. Although many believe this is because society does not tolerate that about which any information or simply can not comprehend.

Today, technology is part of the system of life of all societies. Science and technology are joining the corporate and will policy of companies to control their own destinies, their means and power to do so. Science and technology are providing the society with a wide variety of choices as to what could be the fate of mankind.
