Science
is the subject which includes of various experiments performed by a scientist
with all observations recorded and inferences concluded.
Science is bifurcated
into three main branches :-
Physics , Chemistry and Biology which make study of each
branch simple and more focused.
Technology
Technology is the making, modification, usage, and
knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of
organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a
problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a
specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, including
machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies
significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control
and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied
generally or to specific areas: examples include construction
technology, medical technology, and information technology.
The World Of Robots
A robot is
a mechanical or virtual agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided
by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or
semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step
in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) andTosy's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, collectively programmed'swarm' robots, and even
microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a
lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of
intelligence or thought of its own.
Daily life and science
ØScience in our Daily
Life.
ØModern science is nothing but a skill
magician. One after one, it is providing the mankind with wonders. It has
absolutely conquered the indomitable forces of nature. The wonders of modern
science are too many to illustrate them in a short essay.
Science in use every where. I have written
under short description some topics.
Computer is one of the greatest wonders
of modern Science. It is a substitute for the human brain. In every sphere of
life man has been using computer. It seems that in the distant future man will
be a doll and computer will do every brain work.
Television is another wonder of modern
science. It is a popular medium of communicating thoughts and opinions. At the
same time, it gives both image and the voice of the speaker. Thus, it can leave
a permanent effect on the
people.
Electricity is the first wonder of
modern science. It is the driving force of modern civilization. Electric-power
is used for various purposes. Without it, the advancement of modern science is
impossible.

Home computers
Home computers
Home computers were a class of microcomputers entering
the market in 1977, and becoming common during the 1980s. They were marketed to
consumers as affordable and accessible computers that, for the first time, were
intended for the use of a single nontechnical user. These computers were a distinct
market segment that typically cost much less than business, scientific or
engineering-oriented computers of the time such as the IBM PC,[1] and
were generally less powerful in terms of memory and expandability. However, a
home computer often had better graphics and sound than contemporary business
computers. Their most common use was playing video games.

How are computers useful in daily life?
Answer:
With ever
increasing availability of more complex and dynamic operating systems, the
primary use of a computer is only limited to the imagination and technical know
how of the user.
Some examples of use in the home:Network attached storage (Linux distribution named FreeNAS)
