Science will always have a place in society no matter how far into the future we look. It is a key element of new knowledge, new discoveries, and new technologies. We live in a world that does not simply hand us all the answers. There is no ‘’cheat sheet’’ for the secrets of life. This lack of omniscience opens the door for numerous “what ifs”, “whys” and “hows” about the universe and our existence. Ergo, there will always be a need for science to help us to understand how things work.
Scientific exploration has been and will continue to be a core feature of civilization. It is multidisciplinary; as a result, it has revolutionized numerous fields such as medicine, technology, education, social structure, governance and culture. Science is …show more content…
With each question we seek to answer, science responds with new technologies, new methods and new ways of thinking. When DNA was discovered, its role was unknown. Inquires were made about its function and properties, and this led to the development and use of new technologies such as the microforge and the polymerase chain reaction machine. As our scientific knowledge grew, more and more exploration took place. However, there are still a plethora of unanswered questions such as “How does gravity really work when studying atoms?” and “Why are we even here?” and even “How to win a game of Klondike?” There are still diseases that need cures. We still need effective conservation methods and alternatives to our limited natural resources. We are not quite there yet with space-based solar power satellites. But if a challenging technological feat such as the moon landing could have been executed in the space of 8 years (“Giant Leap”), there’s no telling what great things are on the horizon for the next 50 years since we are even more scientifically advanced now than …show more content…
In the 1900s, the first computer called the ENIAC was designed. It was the size of a huge room and could only carry out basic mathematical equations. Less than 100 years later, computers are now portable and can fit into a 10 inch carrying pouch; they have internet capabilities and cameras, and can do so much more than just basic mathematics. With each passing year, the newer models are much more advanced than the previous ones, and what was once considered the newer model eventually becomes obsolete. This same principle can apply to the future of science. With new knowledge and technological innovations, the scientific method 50 years from now will probably differ from today’s method. Similar to how the method used 200 years ago completely differs from the method utilized today. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the main areas being studied now. As experiments become more complex, AI may become the new way to evaluate the logic and validity of an experiment. It could even recommend improvements, proposals or analyze the research
