| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Science is the basic knowledge of nature and Technology is the practical
application of that knowledge. This is sometimes not so clear. For example,
we knew that penicillin works against bacteria, but not why. At each level of
understanding, new science opens up, and there is new technology to be
applied. Another concept is Governance. The goal of governance in any country
is firstly national security and, secondly, a better quality of life for its people.
Science and Technology have a very strong impact not only on society but
also on the international system. There are many examples of this, such as
mobile phones and smart phones. In the international system, countries which
discover and use new science and technology gain an advantage - both
economic and military. Because of this, all governments must deal with science
and technology in an appropriate manner, and respond to new developments
in both. |
