TEXT 1
Science and technique have changed human life during the last hundred and fifty years more than it had been changed since man took to agriculture, and the changes continue at an increasing speed.
It is no paradox to say that the history of science begins with its prehistory.
The earliest efforts to understand and control nature took the form of magic but more important were the discoveries which began the long and difficult task of emancipating man from dependence on nature and his own muscular energy.
The first technical advances were made in the Nile Valley of Egypt where the development of measurement, the first steps of geometrical theory were worked out.
We cannot know the inventor of the wheel, or the inventor of the concept of abstract numbers without which neither reckoning nor the mathematical sciences would have been possible. But we know that prehistoric man contributed to the arts which were the forerunners of engineering.
Never before in history have there been rapid changes in our way of life as at the present moment. Scientists using what is called a “ scientific method” are making new discoveries overnight. Our homes, our food and clothing, our sources of power, our means of travel and communications, our health facilities as well as our amusement, hobbies and other leisure time activities, all are being affected by these discoveries.
Thousands of scientists using the most modern equipment are studying the atmosphere. Small laboratories packed with scientific instruments are being rocketed into space as Earth satellites.
Science affects our daily living. It is with us from the time we get up in the morning until we go to bed.
