For example, as a first thought: We may be living with all types of commodities (e.g., cars, TFT TVs, cells, etc), and yet, are we better off than in the past really? The answer to that may be yes or no, depending on one's reasons. For a yes answer, one may rely on everyday's applications aimed to satisfy information needs on the internet, or on TV, etc. In turn, for a no answer, one may base her or his answer on bad management of resources (e.g., too much trash tv, or bad use of internet for violence, pornography, etc). As always, them all may be up to one's sensible use of reason and resources.

In the last XX century the humans made a lot of progress in many areas such as robotics, computers, pharmaceutical, etc. The scientific discovers many atomics particles too, for example, uranium. With this atomic particle would allow the production of electric energy in nuclear plants. All this advances will benefit to all mankind. But the most of this advances appeared as consequence of the investigation of military technologies. In the XX century there were two world wars. In those wars, the countries dedicated all his resources to the military technologies. Although that wars were very bloodies, many times the military investigation discover a product or a technology that it had not application y the military area but it was a great discover to other areas such as electronics(micro-waves, refrigerator, etc), medicine(penicillin, morphine, etc) and other areas.
In conclusion, the military investigation provided to the society of the XX century of many technologies and products, which the mankind increases their life expectative.

As far as I'm concerned, science and humans must walk together. We only have to take a look of every discovery that has made us stronger and also brings us more facilities and try to realized how we can live know without them. "Impossible" maybe the answer of most of us. There are so important in our life that we're "hooked" on them, we cannot live without them. So it's important to understand that science is the most powerful tool we have to face up our worries and problems. In conclusion, science and humans must grow together.
It is often asserted that the technology developed are good in order to mankind, and what will create a better future, but is this so?
First of all, there are a lot of people who think a big technological development is harmful because, on a one hand, it is harmful to environment; on the other hand, this will affect our anatomy, like say today, in the man impotence due to mobile telephones and due to every radiation emissors. Too due to the fear, in the future, the creation of a robots whit a large artificial intelligence could replace to human like the dominant being, and the will come independent of humans in order to survive. It is certainly that a nation experiment a large increment of their technologies, the most probably is that due to this fact, a lot of nations are going to become in war in order to prevail at superior that the first nation.
However, a lot of people think the technological development could come an upper of wellbeing of the kindman. It would be able to eradicate the famine and the poor. Every this wills obtain with nuclear fusion experiments, what provide unlimited energy for the entire planet. And with this technology, safely we be able to experiment with the syntethice of water and other materials, what could help a lot of people.
The most sensible conclusion we can come to is, if we want to obtain every this, all that we considered good, everybody have to become aware of we need a list of rules or laws that routing the technological development to become the wellbeing better and not to destroy us. Too, I think that every technological development what is realizing, should preserve the environment.

From my point of view, science is the most important discovery that the humans have made.
Most people think that XX century had a part in the biggest advance of the technological world. Other believe that the new technology only cause problems at the environment of the Earth.
In my opinion, the humans are in need of invent objects to make more easy our lifes. Would you like change the reality? You only need work, as soon as posible, in a proyect to improve the world.
From my point of view, in the last XX century the humans made a lot of progress in many areas, then, we live better than before. Because, we have mobile phones, Internet, television, best cars,…
Actually, Internet is very important because in Internet there is a lot of information besides we can buy games, CDs and clothes on the Web.
But sciencie has bad consequences, too, in other that the new technology can provoke new illness, more pollution, noise…
In conclusion, sciencie can be positive or negative, and so, we only have to use the sciencie to make our live better.
The human and science advances are the best way for the development of the humanity, especially the develop in the field of medicine and renewable energies. In the medicine the spendient signature is the vaccine of the VIH and the clone of the cells mother for cure the more importants diseases. In the renewable energies the most important develop is found a alternative energy to oil. The best of this energies is the hydrogen, clean and powerful.

In my opinion today the science is important.
If the science doesn´t exist , the mobile phone, the television, the viedo games don´t exist too.
In the XXI cntury the children plays with the science, when I was a children I plays whit my family in my country and if I want to go to my friend I go to the city to call my friends, today no, the mobile phone make that I call my frineds and don´go to city for go to my friends.
If the sciences doesn´t have advanced I can´t listen music when I go to the university or when I go to run.
In conclusion the science is the most important discover at the moment!
MAKE SURE YOU DON'T USE "THE" WHEN REFERRING TO A TOPIC OR CONCEPT, EG., TECHNOLOGY, RELIGION, PHILOSOPHY, ETC
In my view, Science and technologies are very important to the development of society.
Currently, life without TVs, internet, mobile phones, etc is difficult to imagine because new technologies make our life easier.
However it can to be very injurious in other respects(pollution, global warming...)
So, I would like to say that the development of Sciencie and new technologies may be used to protect the Earth too.
Well, nowadays World goes in a technology way, that to say, Humans need the technology to life in a good way, more comfortable, and the new advances are making the life so easy. On one hand, I think that science is the better way to progress, and get new objects or machines which can help us to work better, communicate each other from all over the world, etc.
But, on the other hand, new technologies could be very dangerous if Humans don't use it carefully and Humans depends on that technologies or machines, and that could be a big problem.
So, finally in last century or since two centuries ago, the life in the Earth is more comfortable, easier for Humans, and I think that we live better day a day.
Human beings and science during history have always been linked, in one way or another, both need each other. For example, robotics as a science, had never been able to move without the help of man, because this is the only way to makes there. In my opinion, some day robots will be able to create by themselves, with the help of artificial intelligence, so you do not need help from anyone.
Since past time until now, science has been developing a lot of things,
but only with a commercial goal. For example, science has not give us a
cure for the cancer. Because if this got released, it will be free on most
of the rich countries, and the benefits from the paliative treatments
would stop for the companies who sells them, wich are the same who have in
their hands the possibilty of find the cure. That cure it's not
impossible, the matter is that it's not commercially profitable.
In my view the science evolution from the last years has been beneficial for mankind, for example in communications' field we have many advances in the speed Internet networks, the speed of computers, etc. ... In medicine, new technological advances allow new disease prevention and cure of others. There are also more convenient when travelling, with cars safer, GPS navigators ... Definitely, there are many new features that improve the comfort of people.
On the other hand the disadvantage of these developments may be that it create a big magnetic field, and it can be harmful to humans.
In my opinion, the way of life of human beings has changed a lot in a very short time, mainly because of new technologies.
From my point of view, new technologies have greatly facilitated the development of mankind and have made at the same time a number of amenities, which will make life easier for people. For example, in many jobs have been created a range of devices, with which people can serve the same function but much less work at the same time with more comfort.
In summary, I believe that new technologies and technological advances are very positive in almost every aspect to the evolution of humanity, and therefore I think that these developments will lead to a better future for humanity.

From my point of view science in recent centuries is making giant steps.
Since that laid the foundation of science, man has been able to make important discoveries that have helped to more effectively solve some problems, for example in health, computers that help us to keep all the information in a same place in a confined space.
Although these discoveries have some negative aspects, some people use their scientific knowledge to do harm as the atomic bomb, hachers with computers ...
If we move forward, this discussion between the advantages and disadvantages of the evolution of science will remain open, because all progress bring something good and something bad.
In my opinion the science is today one of the most important aspect of our lives. The science make more easy the simply things and complex things, today the science is used in all the aspects, for example we used the chimical and the physics in police investigations, computers in all the places for do many things, thanks to the phone cells we can call to everybody in everywhere or simply send a comment about yhe science in a moment thanks to the internet. But the science can be used to make bad actions, the chemical war, the computers war or new weapons, the easy to violating the privacy of the peaple. In my opinion the scinces can be things that before nobody could dream
Clearly, science has advanced in recent years. The human genome, cloning, the discovery of quarks, etc.
In my opinion the most important of these advances is the world of computers and electronics. Just ten years ago, computers took a big space, while they've the size of a hand now. The old mobile phones had no camera, no wireless…
If we compare them with the current devices, we see how everything has been developed with great speed in a very short time.
If everything’s still like that, within a short time, all over the world will be influenced by the machines, our own lives…
And then, it'll be necessary to value if it is good… Or not
In the XIX century, science was basically the structure of science classic, until the emergence of many scientists who gave the world a vision closer. Following these developments, we were able to reach what we have today, a breakthrough computer and electronic, giving rise to things such as user-friendly as televisions, computers and any electrical appliance that we can take home. I think that thanks to the advancement of technology and science, life has improved in many respects, the quality of life is better than in the past, but in other respects, improved technology and science has worsened many other things that are very important to wildlife, such as climate change, spending unmoderated of electricity and massive extraction of natural resources
of my point of view science is very important in our lifes because thanks to the science we have many comodities like a washing machine, fridge, electric light...i don't imagine my life without it and i know that Science has come a long way from a time now.
science make our lifes more easy but in the other hand we have that, thanks to the tecnology people use it for bad aims like bombs kill people, secondly science has bad consequences because there are many industries that produce a lot of pollution furthermore our rivers are polluted and our enviroment destroyed.
in conclusion i think that we have to innovate with the science because it does our lifes more easy but we have to think in the bad consequences that it produce and be careful with the use of tecnology.
we are only te responsibles of the use of the science.
In my opinion, technologies are very important today.
On the one hand, business´ work is easily using computers,mobiles and so on. All information is kept. It´s more confortable because if all documents were on paper, it would take up a lot.
On the other hand, technologies do workers´ job. Machines do things faster than people but a lot of workers don´t work because they do their job. Maybe we are taking advantage of technologies.
In conclusion, technologies are good for our life, but not excessively.

I am going to talk about science. Science is a very general word that denotes the different ways we have in order to learn that are based in the scientific method. This method tries to reproduce the fact we are interested in, and so that we could understand that event and would make predictions about it.
I think that science is an imperative thing in our lives. If we think in all the things we couldn’t live without, we can notice that science is behind all of them. We use everyday many kinds of appliances, transportation, media, etc; the objects we use are also made of materials that are better and better. All this things were made and are going to be developed because of the engineers, physicist, chemists, mathematicians, etc, that worked and are working on it.
In conclusion, we can say that science is the main cause of all the things we can enjoy in this world. So is very important to bear in mind that developing science we are getting a better world.
In my opinion, science has progress in a lot of branches like engineering and medicine. Today science is something very important in our lifes because without it we couldn´t live.
When we need to go to some place we usually go by bus or by car, during the night we use the electricity which illuminate our homes, internet is very important too.
But the best of science is that it can save to people. I think that for the next five or six years doctors will find a cure among AIDs and cancer.
In conclusion science is one of the most important things for me and all people should think the same.
The technology has a great utility. The planes allow us to do several thousands of kilometres at a few hours, the television allows us to know what is passing in any part of the world, the telephone allows us to speak with another person for very far that is... But the human beings, as almost quite, we are doing it badly. We are giving an evil I use to the technology. The children already do not want to play in the parks. They prefer playing to the console. The young men we prefer speak for internet instead of staying with the friends...
The technology is advancing too fast. The technology has advanced more in the last 60 years that in 1900 previous.
From my point of view, I think that human is science's basis because without humans we wouldn't have science. The science has advanced a lot since XX century. The human is the principal cause in this advance. For example in the XXI century, they created computers more powerful and better than computers in XX century. The technology has developed a lot since XX century thanks human. Currently, scientifics are working for to advance and without them the world would base in another things.
I'm gonna write about the nuclear energy. I think this kind of energy is a very positive invention.
Here is a fact. Nowadays, world won't have enough energy without the nuclear plants.
People think that nuclear plants contaminate, but it's false. The "smoke" nuclear plants produce is water vapour and the radiactive residuums are highly controlled. In fact, there are advanced investigation about how to destroy this residuums in 30 years (they normally need hundreds of years).
If somebody use the nuclear energy for making nuclear bombs, is his or her problem, not nuclear-energy's. Technology by itshelf is not good or bad, it depends on what it is used for.
I think that all these developments help us and are very positive for humanity.
Know us better ourselves and our environment is good because it gives us knowledge,
the most important thing is how to utilize this knowledge if we use an irresponsible manner
that will be detrimental to safe humanity but used in a responsible manner assures us a
better future.
No matters what field of science is advancing we always will be beneficial either to obtain
different energies as experiments on atomic particles, more powerful and useful computers
or robots that help us lead a better quality of life. Without forgetting that all these developments
we should use them in a responsible manner and will have to be enjoyed by everyone,
although not usually happen this way, but this is another problem more seriously than this.
First let me say that I don't think that all the technological advances cause a culture advance.
In last century, science has come a long way but not in the best sense because, in proportion, the gap in quality of life, in some areas, is more pronounced.
In relation to the specified technologies represent a major step foward to improve the future but as someone important sais: "There is technology good nor bad, just good or bad people". It means that depends on how you use it give these advances history will remember them as good or bad. For example the atomic energy, if in the end is that there are more people benefited very few recall the tragedies that has resulted in the world.
In the XX century the technological advances and scientific discoveries in diverse areas (medicine, education, computers ...) have improved the quality of life. Discoveries in medicine are the most important (these discoveries have managed to increase the average of life of the population and make possible the treatment of many diseases). Nevertheless, some other discoveries and technological inventions have done that the majority of the persons depends on them (for example inventions destined for the telecommunication). For this reason it is important to use them in an intelligent way.
In conclusion, the technological progress in the XX century has been very beneficial for people.
The scientific advances often hit with the humans so scientific advances are a controversial and complex dilemma.
On the one hand scientific advances allow to know the functions of the human brain or the disease of illness with mother cells. Scientific advances such as genetic engineering research can save lives; for example, embryos can be used to cure illnesses. Moreover, organs like kidneys and hearts could be grown and uses in transplants.
Computers and robotics can help humans too in a lot of jobs. Many robots help humans such as operations in hospitals; robots help the police to deactivate bombs or to rescuing persons who have suffered accident in some places as caves.
On the other hand the scientific advances divides the society on account of moral, political and religious rules that threaten to decelerate the scientific progress, because with genetic engineering it is possible to designer babies or creating unnatural animals.
A lot of people think that robots or computers are bad because they cause that a lot of people remain without work because they are capable of develop a lot of work.
In conclusion, although both sides of the issue can be argues strongly, I believe that scientific advances help human and should continue.
Clearly, we live in the information age, we stand up in the morning and we have the information from the world updated on the internet.
The technology surrounds us, cars, mobile phones, laptops… Many technologies are needed, for example, hospitals use very advanced technologies, and the banks have a very powerful database. In short, I believe that new technologies and technological advances are very positive in almost every aspect to the evolution of humanity, the technology is in our lives.
The science is moving very quickly. This development is beneficial to humans because, we help make life easier.
But not all are positive developments, some humans using these advances to sow fear. Also this that mankind is getting increasingly vague, for example: instead of playing tennis, we buy the Wii and play at home ... It is also a disadvantage when it comes to relationships, because every time we are more solitary.
In short: the science is helping us but at the expense of what really matters.
Juan Mariscal Molano
From my point of view the sciencie has gone advance to great steps. The discovery of atomic energy has generated new power plants or its use in submarines. Also we must consider that in century XX, the men have gone to the Moon, the men have conquered the space that it allows to make experiments. The science has allowed that very disabled now they can to be people without difficulties. Thank to science, the humans have improved its quality of life. The people arranges of bette communications such as: Roads, vehicle, phones.
In my opinion the future of progress will be focused toward energy. Each time we consumed more energy and them energy renewable they are more and more efficient. Although this energy does not contribute even the efficiency that it contributes the nuclear power has many advances with regard to this matter.
Concretely the CERN ( Conseil Européen pour the Recherche Nucléaire ) with seat in Geneva. The CERN has achieved recently to generate the first particles of antimatter. The antimatter is the source of more powerful energy known by the man. The antimatter does not generate contamination or radiation and has a 100 %'s efficiency. The problem is that the antimatter is very unstable.
The question is will the antimatter Be Used For good or for evil?

Technology centuries
The XX century could be called “Technology century” as it has gathered uncountable achievements on technical areas. The power of computers has been increased exponentially so there have been many discoveries in every field. Following with that grow, the XXI century should will be called “Supertechnology century” because the achievements will be more and more usual and finally scientist will develop a computer that behave like humans, nanorobots will be use in order to cure illness or we finally will be able to travel to space and live in other planets. However, these improvements have negatives consequences too: For example, global warming cause by the increasing emissions of CO2, illegal uses of that technology (like terrorism, violation of personal information, fraud…) and the fact that computers and robots could replace humans in every aspect of life (relationships, works, studies…).
Science and Humanity
The advances which we are made in XX and XXI century, like computers, modern means of transport, nuclear energy…, are very important and have become indispensable in our lives.
In my opinion, these advances and inventions can be good or bad, it depends on how we use them. For example, researching of atomic particles has improved the treatment of cancer and let us obtain energy from uranium but, on the other hand, many countries have nuclear weapons and uranium is a very pollutant material. However, I believe that these developments are worth despite of bad uses.
I also think that the best advances are those that have improved our quality of life in a significant way, like medicine development (nowadays we live more years) or mains of communication (we can know what’s happening in the world at any time). And I think we could have progressed more, but there are many companies which try to avoid advances because they could lose money (for example, petrol companies would lose millions if we started to drive electric cars).
In conclusion, mankind makes great advances; but we have to learn to use them properly and not to kill people or destroy our planet.
Our lives are very easy thanks to a lot of invents. Nowadays we can open a tap and then we have water, this simply thing was unthinkable in not too distant past, specially in villages. But this thing is unthinkable in many areas of the world nowadays, so from my point of view science is more miss. It
is true that a lot of people is helping in the third world to build infrastructures, but if the goverments of first world don´t help really, these countries won´t be able to develop. I think that we have technology enough nowadays to help people in poor countries to live better whitout a lot of effort. The problem is that multinational companies with the support of its goverments aren´t interested on it. These companies need cheap prices and cheap labour hand to earn much money.
I think that humans' work in science have been good, because they have advanced faster than in the past. For example, life's middle age is longer than 50 years ago, also the life is more comfortable than years ago thanks to TV, computers, internet, etc. Now you can travel to the other side of the world in 12 hours or less, but in the past this travel take months.
On the other hand thanks to this new technologies there are more pollution, more fat people and less people in the villages.
In my opinion he science has advanzaed very much in last century, some discoveries are hamful to human how for example weapons or contaminant industries.
On the one hand scientific progress rea allowing to human being to make easy his work and in medicine improve the quality of life.
On the other hand these technologiccal advances are able to envronmental problems as increase of the temperature or the destruction of the ozne layer
I believe that science itself is not bad, the bad is the use of it.
Hence, humanity must have ethics to use.
Discoveries such as nuclear energy are neither good nor bad in principle,
but it has been used in wars and also in the production of electric energy.
According to this, we can think that comtuters are good or bad
because they are used in science to perform calculations.
I think that the investigations can be good if we give the correct use to the research.
Consecuently I agree with I+D if we have ethics. we shouldn't become a nazi researching
but we sholud inprove the world with robots for handicapped,
with Experiments with computers to produce vaccines, ...
Under my point of view science is very important for today's society. Science had have very important discoveries for world. The progress of medicine, for example, makes our life better, or invention make the life more comfortable. But, On the other hand, science invents weapons to wars, kill people, animals... and that not good for humanity
At the end of the twentieth century, science has improved a lot ,in the last years it had appeared inventions which advance our life, as for example: mobile phone , Internet, TV, personal computers ..., all these inventions have made it to be better communicated with the outside world and be moreconnected.
But these inventions that have changed our lives have come very quickly and we need to learn to use it correctly, because if we don´t do it, we will have disadvantages as for example the business of child pornography, violations, trash television, illegal sale of CDs an dvds ...
In medicine has also made a great progress than technology, and even because of the evolution of
medicine has caused into discussions of moral subject.
This is because they have come so fast that the society has not accepted the evolution.
Human beings and science have been linked throughout history. Humans are incredible, have used the science to make our lives more easier and comfortable.
Science at XX century, in my opinion, has been great progress,like internet, computers, medicine.... but I am sure that at XXI century, science will progress more than the past century.
The question about if the scientific advances will lead to a better future is hard to answer:
Maybe the scientific advances will lead to a better future, but maybe, the scientific advances will lead to the human destruction.
"A great power brings great responsibility."
THE HUMAN AND THE SCIENCE
Human has coexist with the science all life and human has evolution and they have done their lifes more easy.
But the science has given wisdom and experience. Since there are sciences which broach the human´s knowledge. For example Astronomy studies the universe .
Finally is important to emphasite that all the science has a origin in the humans.
SCIENCE AND HUMANS
Science and humans, a combination that can not be separated and thanks for it, we have all medical advances, all technology and facilities of our life.
If the science doesn’t exist, our society isn’t in this way. How we transport to other place with speed without cars? How we go to other continent without planes? Without scientific advances in medicines, a lot of illness can kill us.
In short, the sciences is good because it makes the life more easy…
Some years ago it was impossible to think that one day a person was to be operated through a robot, or that the light of our homes would burn itself thanks to the sunlight. The technology is part of the lives of humans and progressed, is progressing and move forward. It is now carrying out many projects secrets related to the transport of particles, or accelerating its progress in nuclear fusion. In the future, technology will be so great that you will have to move from house to do anything. We could go into space with ease, have robots in our homes to help us and even houses that we speak and obey our orders.
Science and humans
In my opinion, since same years ago, Humans have been investigated a lot about the Science, techonology and others, but although all progress is good, we must be careful, because same science advantages will be able to harmful. For example, the use of petrol is good but that is very pollutants and the advantages are exceeded by the desadvantages. I think that in the future there will be a lot of science discoveries, but because the bad use of these by Humans, they will be harmful or they will cause a lot of disasters.

The influence of science on people:
Science has been and will also be in future an important tool in the progress of society and in the solving of problems. For instance, concerning health, many illnesses have been erradicated thanks to vaccinations and other medicines.
On the other hand the wellbeing og people has improved in many fields, like transport, electricity and runningwatter in the houses. And more recently telecommunications such as tv, radio, internet,....
Science and Humanity
Nowadays we enjoy all kind of commodities like cars, TVs, computers..., technology make easy our lives.
I think that use technology in a massive way makes people more lazy and reduces our abilities. We depend on technology, and we can not do anything ourselves without technology.
In conclusion, we should use technology in a correct way to make easy our lives, trying not to be controlled by it.
Humans and science.
The science is moving very quickly. The technology has evolved greatly in the twentieth century. But the twenty-first century will be no different. I think it will be an even greater change. The communications, Internet and mobile phone have revolutionized the market and their profitsare only the beginning now. The idea that we can from a small device from to make video, to organize their lives or see that happening in your home is no longer a dream.
Soon there will be machines that do everything, and humans will be increasingly less necessary in some work, being the only drivers of long chains of production. But this creates other problems, new jobs, maintenance etc., which require humans.
My only fear in this regard, apart from the huge price of technology is ... Is this really in control? How long can we live without electricity?. We can be even harder. Is it good that the world economy will move on something that is disappearing?
Everything has something bad , and its solution will also ... But I hope that humans continue to evolve becose we are humans, aren't animals.
Humanity and science:
It's obviously that the science has improved our lifes. In many ways (transport, computers, comunication, organization, work...). But this growing dependency can be dangerous. For example, today the kids only play in his homes alone, and... what would happen in the future??. Children will have only virtual friends or they will play only virtual sports??. However, nobody can stop the progress. Only the time will say if this is good or not for humanity.
But... I'm the first person to take advantage the new technologies, I'm not against the progress, but I think that it must not lose some things, for example the real relationship between people, the travels, activities with other people...
The twentieth century saw more momentous change than any previous century: change for better, change for worse; change that brought enormous benefits to human beings, change that threatens the very existence of the human species. Many factors contributed to this change but - in my opinion - the most important factor was the progress in science.
Academic research in the physical and biological sciences has vastly broadened our horizons; it has given us a deep insight into the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous evolution. Technology has made fantastic advances that have affected us beneficially in nearly every aspect of life: better health, more wealth...
During the twentieth century and the principle of this century there has been a very important development in science and engineering. This development has promoted the creation of new technologies that have allowed humans change their way of life, expand their knowledge and alter their own culture.
The improvement in the means of transport, and particularly, in the media (as the Internet, the Chat, electronic mail, mobile telephony…) have allowed people to maintain a more active way of life and better spend their time.
Some of these achievements, as nuclear energy or the internet, have become against the human resulting, for example, the atomic bomb or the invasion of privacy and personal data.
From my point of view, the technologies developed since the twentieth century until the present, have benefited greatly to humans, but not everything can be positive because not all persons are good and use these discoveries with bad aims.
Humans have used knowledge to improve life and we have doing this since we are be able to think. We are improving science day to day, and this is proved looking the history. There are a lot of researchers and inventors in the history and they have obtained a lot of discoveries and thaks them nowadays science is an advantage that help on life.
If you see to last century, XX century, you find advanced methods to develop a new techniques to work, and new improvements with amazing developments.
And, is nowadays when the most amazing achievements are being obtained in areas as robotic, computers, electronic… and discovering new material, new technology equipment ,etc … and, unfortunately, the military equipments and weapons have been development by humans too.
In conclusion, with pass of time new technologies, new inventions are appearing and one of the most important, Internet, is now an information door and to the globalization.

Science and humanity.
Science from the twentieth century to century has come a long way with respect to the past century, has taken a significant leap and ever evolving at a faster rate. For example in relation to atomic particles and progress in nuclear fission, thanks to the creation of particle accelerators. The same goes for computers, which for the last decade have taken a significant leap, both in power and in return, because we now find computers small enough and with a very low consumption that have a high-powered computer. In robotics has also come a long way and has grown ever succeed manufacture robots smaller and able to carry greater number of shares. In short science has come a long way over the past century and every breakthrough represents a positive development for humanity.

In my opinion, the advance and development of the science has been beneficial in general.
The principal reason is that thanks to this development the mankind lives more comfortably. The investigations in the new technologies have been fundamental. Besides, the advance in the computer science has been fundamental to realize new inventions.
The experiments with robots have served to do our life most comfortable. But everything is not positive.
Probably, the development of the nuclear energy has done that the day after tomorrow there is danger for the mankind if it is not used correctly. Though his utility as energy is a good form of supply to the humanity of different resources.
I think that everything related with the progress in science and new
technologies is good for life and
the development of human, this do life easier.
Thanks to the development in science of medicine, have been save many lives, and the development in science of technologies producing devices very useful to humans.
I think that if not the development man could have extinguished.

Something that personally fascinates me is the advances of the last decade in the manipulation of cells mother.
A journalistic news of 29/10/05 realizes that scientific Americans managed for the first time mother turned embryonic cells of human beings into cells that can transform in internal organs as the pancreas, the liver or the lungs. This new practice might mean a quantum jump of unsuspected proportions in the area of the Medicine. The achievement, which appears in the last edition of the publication "Nature Biotechnology", is interpreted by the experts as a great advance in the matter, since the results obtained by these investigators eventually would allow to the scientists to use cells mother to repair sick or damaged organs and to treat diseases as the diabetes or certain faults in the liver.
For all that it is more that interesting everything related to the discoveries of cells mother.
Science means development. Development on human inteligence, human abilities, culture or on standard of living. But we must take care, because science means also development on mundial inequality or on pollution.
We are the only responsables of the correct use of science, we must be carefully with environment, and use science to help to the unfortunate people, not to destroy ourselves.
One of the most important invention in the XX Century is Internet.Thanks to the development of personal computers was possible to create computer networks connected to each other to exchange data. At first these networks operated locally, later corporate networks emerged and they were able to connect institutions or companies. This was the process that would lead to the emergence of the Internet, which has revolutionized telecommunications through its ability to transmit and receive information instantly through personal computers. It started out at the end of the sixties, in the context of the Cold War, between the main universities of U.S.A so that people could share information and work together. The information available on the Internet has grown quickly. Besides, it allows you to find anything easily, as well as to make economic transactions. However, the growth of the Internet has had negative things because there are no rules about it.The negative elements of the Internet are the little control over the contents, not to mention that information can be useful but it can be also a danger if it drops in the wrong hands. What it more, "viruses" can cause serious damage to all the computers in the world.
Scientific research never stop growing and spreading to wider fields.
Science, especially physics, had a breakthrough at the beginning of the century. The practical application of these theories to machinery and tasks, traditional or new, have radically changed the daily lives of people.
Communication networks are becoming faster and bushy. The invention of integrated circuits, computers, satellites and fiber optics have enabled a genuine revolution of communication channels. They are the principal vehicle for reaching advertising, and more effective.
The personal computer is the most revolutionary appliance that is entering our homes in recent years. The computer, and software development, not only affects domestic life and leisure, but it has enormous implications for the world of work, both in the industrial sector, and, above all, in the services sector.
I think scientific advances are very important for society and with them we can fix big problems we have in our life.
Well, I am going to give a touch pessimistic.
I believe that the depletion and overexploitation of resources that will
conflicts and their possible solutions will take much of our
efforts, and that will moderate advances, in many cases, predictable.
Nuclear Fusion.
Food synthetic (creation of organic matter on an industrial scale from inorganic by non-biological processes) created not by chance but because of production constraints of classical form.
Significant advances in genetics and nanotechnology that will tend to merge.
The latter will become common in the field of medicine, allowing constant monitoring of the human being, and greatly increased prevention and moving toward customized therapies.
Finally in 2040 some countries dare to jump modify human beings undergoing in vitro for improvement of the species, contrary to earlier more widespread changes to prevent or cure diseases. Change of moral values regarding genetics.
In my opinion, the progress scientists are very important in the work of man. This is the case of computers. With computers man performs work more quickly than if he done manually.
Moreover, the medicine is also a big step forward towards saving lives, improve people's health and quality of life.
Regarding the experiments, I think it also necessary to avoid ignorance of certain aspects scientists. Although at times the results are manipulated resulting in effects strangers.
Science and humans:
We can not imaginate our life without technological advances...
We get up early, the hateful "alarm clock" is ringing, with a big hit you stop it. Afer 5 mins you can to get up and you start walking to the bathroom. The "electric razor blade" is ready to run. After take a bath you do a Cola Cao in "Microwave", and put one bread slice on "toaster".
Yeah, a really nice breakfast; but is time to go to the medic, you have to go because you must to pull out one tooth. To go Hospital you take the "Underground"...
We can say lots and lots of technological advances that we use in our life, but it´s obviously.
If this advances are good for humans?... I think so, if they don´t arrive too much far.
Science and Humans
In the XX century science did advance a lot, people even though that we wouldnt have much more things to discover, but in fact we are just starting to discover things, the XXI century will bring us lots of discovers that yet we dont know that even exists, science is advancing more and more and each day is going faster, from my point of view we will be able to discover much more things wich will make our lives easier for example better computers wich are able to make the work faster and better or even robots that can assists us with our physical job.
I start this comment with one question...
Do we could live today without technology?
A lot of people in the world try to answer this question, but, in my opinion, the answer is clar NO.
Often, the new gadgets are predictably unnecesary, but when the people use them, the life is more easy.
Computers, machines, cars, tv´s...etc, in conclusion, all the technology, is likely that in a short future, it will be totally essential in our lifes, as far as the humans will be robotic.This reflexion coul be a reality, and then, could be very dangerous.The technology excess the human race.
In conclusion, I think that a good technology must be created with laws and the ethic.
In last years scientific have crated a lot of things for our confort for example: TV,internet, computers,cars... Some people think that science is more important than humans but I am disagree whit them because I think that the science development must have a good development humans. If this was not, and how the History show, we do not know how control our technology pogress we use it to kill people in wars or destroy beutiful citys, wheres and our own planet.
In conclussion I think scient and humans have to grow together.

We are used to live in a very comfortable place, and we don't realize why we're living in that way.
One of the most important thing that makes us living as we're living is humans' work in science.
Scientist have made our world so peaceful, but also they have opened "a big door" to us, I mean, we can do lots of new good things, but also worse things...
It's too important to take care of the use we do with technology. Everyday we are "shot" with a lot of information, and that isn't good, because most of that information isn't useful for us.
So, in conclusion, we will live so much better as soon as technology advance if we do a sensible use of our means.
Nowadays,sciences are a very important aspect in the development. Computer science causes that everything is much more easy, everything is automatic and faster.
Thanks to the people who have worked in science we now have these facilities and this so surprising technology. The technology never stops to improve, thanks to the investigations we corrected failures and we created new utensils for any necessity.
Also, we have to do the dependency that we have with the technology, if this fault everything becomes paralyzed, and this is not good.
I´m goingo to talk about science and humanity. In my opinion science has evolved in these last years, but I think thas these progress is not enought good.
On the one hand now we know more about machines, robots or computers that our ancestors, but on the other hand I think that we have focused in these kind of things and we have forgotten help our neighbor or making company a person who realy need our help because we don´t have time or we have a lots or thigs to do.
In my opinion the wolrd is now more cold that some years before.
For this kind of thing I think that progress is not as good as it looks.
To sum up, I think that progess are good, but we are doing that this progress dehumanized the person.
Humans have always been interested in new technologies. Currently, we can having all kind of things on high-tech, like mobile phones, personal computers, cars...
Technology is allowing us to enjoy of these commodities and it means a breakthrough to our society.
And these commodities wich I write aren't only at these areas. For example, thanks to new technologies we have advanced medicine and surgery.
In my opinion, we should devote more money to investigate and to can find new solutions to current problems.
I think science is essential to our lives.
Today would be nothing without science, but like all things in life has its advantages and disadvantages; for example technological advances, mobile phones, radio, television, etc., provide us with personal comfort and well being, but we also filled with electromagnetic waves that are harmful to health.
Cars, industry etc, we also provide all comfort, production and better quality of life, but also pollute the environment and help the environment temperature on our planet.
The best available science, it is certainly research to cure disease, I definitely think that for many problems that have science, progress is part of evolution, and that no one would deny the conveniences we have today.
When you start the new millennium, one of the most important characteristics of our civilization is the extraordinary and rapid scientific progress. This rate that doubles every four years our knowledge to increase by the effect resulting from the science that generates new technologies and the new technologies do posible for faster advancement of science.It is safe to predict that the scientific and technological progress will increase further in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Another related phenomenon is related to the shortening of the period between the generation of scientific knowledge and the time these applications reach the "public" global new products or servicios. then, in the coming years we will have a scientific breakthrough
increasingly fast and rapid technological development and at the same time big challenges to face, through the tools of science and technology-the problem of sustainable development.
I think the technology and science have advanced greatly in the last century because the human has worked high to achieve.
I think that this progress is very important to our future because human has have made many atomic particles experiments,human improved computer technology and human improved quality of life of person through robotic.
I think also that the human'works have a negative side because it introduce crimes as pornography,etc.
Leandro Pavón Serrano
I think the investigation about telecommunication, informatics, medicine and chemistry in the XX century is applying in the XXI century.
These progress gives us technical quality in our lives, but can't solve the worst problems of the humanity: wars, hunger, abject poverty, social disparities...
In this century, we need tradicional researches, but we will need research in news subjects as social problems.

We live in an ever-advancing society, in which science every day surprises us with new discoveries that make an easier life to us, or that open new doors and opportunities unattainable until this moment. I think all that means advance supposed development, and therefore major possibilities. However, I think there are experiments somewhat unnecessary in which are invested large amount of money. This money could go for other works, like try to alleviate world hunger. Even so, I think that we must bet strongly in research, not only in technological field, also with the objective of trying to find solutions to diseases that claim many lives every day. In addition, we should ensure a comfortable present without compromising the stay in the planet for future generations.

We live in a society in which scientific advances are constant, and everything gets old quickly.
Most of the advances in science are positive, but some of them could be used for evil. A example of this is the atomic bomb. Atomic fission could be one way of generating energy of the future, but currently used for military ends. Other developments raise questions when deciding on whether they are positive or not, for example the cloning of human.
In new technologies, is the same. It opens new opportunities and services, but often at stake our privacy and security.
In conclusion, scientific advances are positive, but we must be careful about its possible negative effects.
New technologies offer some amenities that were unthinkable a few years ago we had. A few years ago a person who went to work at the other end of the world lost contact with family and friends, today there is no distance in the world, for example, if you are in Argentina you can talk easily with your friend who lives in Russia, without any economic cost, you can even see him for video conferencing. This is one of the great advantages I see in the advancement of new technologies.
On the contrary, these new technologies can also be used to invade our privacy, or even to commit crimes, since it is difficult to locate someone who hides behind an IP address, some of the dangers that arise are for example the theft banking passwords through viruses spread by email.

from my point of view, science developed over the twenty-first century have many improvements in the world of computing, medicine and telecommunications.
Here in Caceres we see these breakthroughs, such as the center for minimally, one of the most advanced hospitals.
There are also big developments in computers, where we see that every time you come to points where before it was inconceivable, for example the games look like reality, computers make accounts impossible.
On the other hand we also have to say though so much progress, we are not taking advantage, because in the medical field million people still die from diseases that could already be gone.
And then, it'll be necessary to value if it is good… Or not

From my point of view, during this century there have not been big changes as for the sciences. Several problems,that we have before ,have created and solved . We have extracted many vaccines for some diseases but also we have extracted new virus.
As for the tenologia, we have achieved many advances in all the aspects, our devices are increasingly complex and small though they are mas difficult to use, because our society also grows and for our elders a lot of new devices are practically unusable.
In conclusion, The advances sera good for us and for our society but it is not necessary to leave behind many comforts especially for our old men.

Today, science and technological advances are very important in our lives, everything is produced by technological progress and a previous study, more and more the computer has more presence in our society to do any activity, on the one hand these developments make us a more comfortable and easy life on the other hand science can be employed against us and if you do not study these developments can be controlled, ultimately I think that all these advances are great because they improve communications, work better and is easier have a good life.
Technology and humans have always been together (long before the twentieth century). The Romans and Egyptians used exclave persons instead of machines. The mathematician and physicist Fourier known in telecommunications engineering, throughout his career, he worked for Napoleon "cool guns". Internet was first used for military communications in the war (better than morse) and now a civilian can consultation the INEM on network.Therefore, scientific advances and their use are fully determined by humans. The term moral ("good or bad") depends of the person using it on mathematics.
In these last years science and technology have advance exponentially over the lasts centuries.
An example is the robot tech. Today robots are still developing, but in a few years we will have robots in our life.
I think that in a few years the surgeon will control a robot for make the most dangerous operations.
In addition I think that I will have an automaton to do housework.
In conclusion I hope that in some years we have robots to make life easier.

Jesús Arias Sancho:
I think that scientific advances are the two faces on the same money. On the one hand scientific advances can be used to military uses, in the most of uses this is the reason why governments spend money in science.
The side effect is when this advances can be used by the people and for their own good.
When the mentality change and the first are social science investigation all will be much better.
I think that science advances in XX century are very important to advances in XXI because is the basis of what was subsequently investigated.

In my opinion, durinng the XX and the beginning of XXI century technological advances in the informatic, telecommunications and industry areas are developed very quickly as anyone had imagined.
On one hand,some of this advances are served us for do our lifes more comfortable and maybe a little more easy.
On other hand, the rate at which these developments occur can be dangerous because it can be in a near future that machines take protagonism inside our own life.
It is necessary for people and science to be somehow related. It is obvious that mankind created science and for that reason science’s evolution will always be in favour of people. The differences related to science between XX century and XXI century are clear: Computers and internet weren’t that important in XX century but nowadays appear to be essential for everyday’s routine.
Science is good in certain ways; it makes it possible for you to do such things as searching for information while you stay at home. But there are disadvantages too; we are losing things that a century ago were common, like a kid playing football at a park. Nowadays they prefer to be playing computer games.
The humans has passed from comunication by letter to the online comunication, namely from taking months to talk to someone who is on the other side of world, to talk with a few seconds delay. From my point of view, this is the gratest advance of the humanity, above of the arrival of the human on the moon or other events that have not influenced in my live. If the money spendt in these events and other technological advances like atomic bomb and other arms, wolud be used for another tecnological advances the humanity would be better.
It is known science is very important for everybody.It has provided a great development to our quality of life.
Nowadays, some gadgets such as cars, mobile phones, and even internet are essential.Especially everything related to computing and telecommunications.
It's also very important for health as science has contributed with important advances in the cure of lots of diseases.
However, this couldn't have been possible without the aid of scientists and engineers who have been doing investigations for a long time.
From my point of view, during this last century have been discovered important achievements in science and so, in all human life.
There are many examples of developments that have improved our lifestyle and i think we couldn't live without them. One of them that I consider very important is internet.It has let us to do uncountable things that we wouldn't expect to do without leave home, as go shopping, receive lessons, comunicate worldwide or share knowledge.
Therefore, there are some advances that directly improve our life, as medical development that let us live with longer and better quality of life.
Part of this develpment is due to evolution of computers, that has solved problems impossible to perform until then.
Also there have appeared and developed methods to exploit new energetic sources, that could let us be more respectful with enviroment,and that could even be improved.
On the top of that, this achievements have produced a rise of sciences to continue investigations. Nano solar cells would be a example of development of solar energy.
So as i see it, science had had great achievements during last century altought ithink it still has many posibilities to develop and do still better discoveries.
