Science, True Human Happiness, and its disadvantages:

We know that the modern age is the age of science. The mechines play a very important role in today's world. Two or three generations ago, the lives of our forefathers were comparatively simple and satisfied by manual labour while people's wants at the present day have multiplied and our lives become complex nowadays. In the worlds history if the 18th century was an age of steam then 19th and 20th centuries have been an age of electricity. Nowadays modern railway train are electrically controlled, only in underdeveloped countries the railways are still controlled by steam. One of the greatest blessing of science is invention of rapid means of travel and transport. Journeys that previously took months, nowadays take a day. The means of communication too have greatly progressed like telephone and telegraph, etc. The advances in the field of medicines are also remarkable. Plastic surgery and the art of fitting artificial limbs to the human body has also considerably advanced. The conquest of disease is one of the greatest achievements of science. The post modern age in which we are living nowadays is the age of factories. Industries of all kinds are working by the means of scientific mechines. The means of entertainment too have increased by science like the invention of television, radio etc. Few thinkers who condemn science: There are few thinkers who condemn the science. For example M.K Gandhi, the great indian seer and politician, condemns the application of science for agriculture. In my point of view mechines have made the man corrupt. We should not forget the destructive side of science. The havoc that the atom-bombs caused to the Japanese cities of Hisoshima and Nagasaki is yet alive in the memory of the world. In short, we can say that science has shaped and moulded almost every phase of social activity. But it has a dark side also..
