Meaning of Science and Technology
Science and technology is a topic that encompasses science, technology, and the interactions between the two. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of explanations and predictions about nature and the universe. Technology is the collection of techniques, methods or processes used in the production of goods or services or in 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 question, 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 research, and by raising questions about the underlying principles that a new technology relies on.

Before the advent of modern science and technology, people who lived in traditional societies had their own science and technology. For instance, these people engaged in gathering of fruits by wandering in the bush and even hunting for animals using clubs, arrows, and stones and later Dane guns and catapults. Initially, they ate the animals killed raw but later with the discovery of fire through the scratching of stone with stone they started cooking their food through the use of fire. They engaged in the domestication of animals through the fringe range, cultivation of crops by the use of “crude” implements such as hoes, cutlasses etc. and in fact, they engaged in preventive and curative medication through the use of herbs.

Week 5
Topic: Science, Technology and the Society 4
Outline:
- Breakdown of appliances
- Correct ways of using appliances
Breakdown of appliances
Occasional disturbances in the electricity network are inevitable. They can happen because of breakdowns in the line, planned outages or events beyond our control, such as thunderstorms.
1. Overvoltage
Overvoltage can be caused by:
- lightning striking a house, a power line or an area nearby;
- the switching on or off of power lines or substations.
Overvoltage causes most damage to the power units of electrical appliances such as televisions, set-top boxes or computers. A damaged power unit can sometimes also damage the appliance connected to it. Areas with regular thunderstorms or with a lot of overhead lines are at greater risk of overvoltage. Although our electricity system has surge protection devices installed, they do not always protect against lightning strikes. Lightning creates an electrical field that is very powerful and can cause overvoltage in power lines even if it does not strike the line directly. To learn more, click here

Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. In the field of psychology and psychotherapy, it is a learnable skill and mode of communication. It can also be defined as a form of behavior characterized by a confident declaration or affirmation of a statement without need of proof; this affirms the person’s rights or point of view without either aggressively threatening the rights of another (assuming a position of dominance) or submissively permitting another to ignore or deny one’s rights or point of view.
Assertiveness is a skill regularly referred to in social and communication skills training. Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people’s rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting ‘wrong’. Assertive individuals are able to get their point across without upsetting others, or becoming upset themselves. To learn more, click here
