INTRODUCTION OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY (STS)

Science, Technology, and Society is a broad topic that encompasses the intersections among
these three fields of discipline. Science is a system and organized body of knowledge that explains or
predicts nature and the universe. Technology is the collection of methods, techniques, and processes
used in the production of goods or services, or the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific
investigation, or any other consumer demands. Science may drive technological development by
generating demand for new instruments to address a scientific questions or issues, or by illustrating
technical possibilities previously unconsidered.
In turn, technology may drive scientific investigation, by creating demand for technological
improvements that can only be produced through scientific research and investigation, and by raising
questions about the underlying principles that a new technology relies on.
In other words, technology is the hild (product) of science; and scnce is the parent (cause) of
technology. Technology uses scientific principles and scientific findings in achieving technological
improvement is left too chance.
Science and technology affect society in general. These are as follows:
 Improved S&T result to industrialization and thus converting a simple society to a cmplex one
 People’s life and lifestyle change as a result of improvd S&T
 Urbanization results when S&T improve because people usually migrate to a place where their
basic needs are met.
 People have stronger desire for material goods when S&T improve in the place
 More discoveries and inventions that benefit the people due to improved S&T.
