What is Science

First of all, Science! is not the same as science. Science! is the study and knowledge of all things scientific, quasiscientific, or pseudoscientific. Anything that is obscure, incoherent, or improbable is made clear by the purveyor of Science! (also known as the Scientist!). The Scientist! has access to knowledge that even scientists do not have access to. They are truly the masters of all that is True and Scientific!

There are 3 characteristics of the practitioner of Science!

1. They always work alone. Scientists usually have teams of other scientists and technicians working with them. The Scientist!, on the other hand, works alone, in their own, small, often home-built, laboratory. The laboratory will be filled with various whirring, clicking, blinking, or bubbling pieces of lab equipment which appear to have no purpose since the Scientist! never touches them.
2. They work fast. In real science, scientists develop theories, test their theories, and then modify or abandon the theories as the evidence evolves. The process often takes years, if not a lifetime. In Science! the Scientist! gets his or her answer in a matter of days (or hours, or weeks, or minutes, depending on what timeframe is most dramatic). Usually, the Scientist! gets a bright idea, runs to the lab to test the theory, and then comes back with an unexpected, but clearly genius, answer to the mystery/problem/question in record time.
3. They are always right. Everyone else is always wrong. In real science, peer review is a critical part of the scientific process. In Science! peer review is not only unessecary, but is detrimental. Mainstream scientists never accept what the Scientist! has to say until events prove them to be soundly (and often, fatally) wrong.

Science! has evolved over time. In the 50’s and 60’s, the Scientist! was a non-specialist (and usually male). Science! gave him mastery over every possible field of study (much like the professor in “Gilligan’s Isle”). In modern times, the Scientist! is more likely to be a specialist, to acknowledge that, in the real world, most scientists are specialists. What they get wrong, however, undermines the one thing they tried to get right. For example, in the TV show Stargate SG-1. The character of Sam Carter is a Scientist! specializing in physics, while Daniel Jackson is a Scientist! specializing in archaeology. They both (especially Sam) have the attributes of the Scientist!, however. 1) They work alone, 2) they solve the mysteries of the universe in a few hours or days, and 3) most of the other scientists (when they show up with a theory) are wrong.

Another example of a modern Scientist! is the protagonist, Robert Langdon, in The DaVinci Code. Although Langdon deviates slightly from the typical Scientist! (the typical Scientist! is alone in his beliefs, but Langdon actually has the support of many of his peers), in other ways he is the same. He manages to solve the great mystery in the course of an evening, and there is never, at any time, a question that he may actually be WRONG in his beliefs.

Technology Learning

People were optimistic that technology would become the answer to all human tribulations, mainly those related with poverty. He was also hopeful that travel to space and the nuclear energy would resolve all the problems. At once he has come to know that advancement in technology had deprived him of the clean water, fresh air and healthy atmosphere. Pollution led to global warming, food crises and poverty. Poverty has become a serious concern of the modern times.

The worst preys are the developing nations. The developing nations followed west blindly and spoiled their economies as well as atmosphere. This technology was hardly suitable to the circumstances of people in developing nations. Technology without necessary infrastructure and skills is nothing other than wastage of resources. It does not help to overcome poverty.

Technology is helpful only when it does not harm the local culture, society and skills. Such technology is called appropriate technology. Only this kind of technology is helpful in eradicating poverty. Only appropriate technology is the solution to the problem of poverty.
Circumstances specific technology

Use of technology according to the local circumstances is a new phenomenon and is helping a lot in the war against poverty and food crises.

The acclimatization of technology is the only way to solve the manifold problems of the poor nations. It does not damage the atmosphere and assists man to overcome the multitude of problems.

Appropriate technology is only way to resolve the present day issues related to poverty. Technology is related to all aspects of life. It has reached its zenith in advancement. This advancement can become helpful if we use the technical expertise according to our local circumstances. Small scale technical projects providing energy and power are the basis of the all programs related to poverty eradication.

People and states should take advantage of technical advancements mainly in sectors of energy, communications, and information technology to give power to the poor and gain fiscal development. Information and communication technologies are basic elements of the universal production, business, investment and capital flow. Incorporation of these technologies into poverty reduction programs is necessary.

Technology that supports Local growth, employment and local enterprise is in fact real technology.

It reinforces local economic progress and involvement of community in the development projects.Technology with its roots in customary skills and resources is the only way to get self-reliance and get rid of poverty.
