...progressed through science and technology. Today science has made the impossible things possible. He had reached on the moon. He had made difficult works easy through technology. Science and technology have made the life safe, secure and comfortable. Today we are totally depended on science whether it is inside or outside the home. Now we can enjoy every second of our life through them. Technology have totally changed the field of entertainment. Now we can entertain ourselves through computers, Games, TV and so on. Electric light, Air conditioner, fan, and all the electronic gadgets are all gift of science. We can enjoy cold coffee, mango shakes, cold drinks during summer season through refreigeratos. All these things are possible through science and technology. Today travelling have become very fast. We can travel a long distance in minutes through aeroplanes. All this is possible through science. The railway is the another way of comfort travelling. Cars, buses, scooters are other means of travelling which we use day and night. These things made our life trouble free. It is all the wonder of science. Modern world is more and more dependent on them. It is said that "Science is a good and useful servant but it is a bad destructive master." I am saying this thing because today we are misusing it. Today atomic energy is used for war and fight purpose. Why we are not using it for peaceful purposes? Our aim should be constructive not destructive. Today we are using science and its knowledge...

...The first lecture was about Science and Technology and he started off by saying that science came from society for the needs of the people meaning that everything Science and Technology invented or discovered is for the needs of society. Science and Technology both have their similarities and differences. One similarity of Science and Technology is that they were both created for knowledge while one difference would be in their usage. Science is for the understanding of the natural world and technology is the action of saving the natural world. Society however is the main predecessor of both science and technology because it is society that controls and guides the forms of science and technology. To conclude, Science and Technology are not necessarily related in the sense that they can be independent from one another and develop separately. Society is the determining factor for their possible connections and science and technology have become so intertwined that they have become related. The next lecture was on The Biography of Science and the video “The Story of Science – What is Out There?” was used as reference. This was basically about how early scientists or philosophers used their technology or invented technology to expand science and help society. The documentary mainly focused on philosophers being curious about what is outside the earth and its atmosphere and building telescopes to expand the vision of the naked eye. They studied the planets and how the planets revolved...

...Science and Technology Consider: * Science and its impact on society * Scientific developments & effect on man; environment etc. * The Sciences VS the Humanities * Science & Religion Definitions: * Science - study of nature and the knowledge we gain through observations and experiments * Scientific discovery - finding out about something about the existing workings of nature that was not known before * Technology - application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes (e.g. antibiotics and their uses) * Invention - newly created product/process Science today causes as many problems as it solves. * Horrible pervasions of science * E.g. Invention of poison gas (holocaust), war against Japan ended with the atomic bomb * Even when science is intended to benefit humans, unintended consequences could occur. * E.g. Rachel carson's silent spring (1963) awakened the world to the dangers of pollution * How science in the service of business can produce catastrophic results ; pesticides for farms -> Are we blinded by profit so much so we don't do not care about the environment? * *air pollution is the biggest cause of human deaths today Science, money and value * Science is very much subservient to business interest today -> values of those who seek fame and fortune creep into science: profit often determines the direction of science, influencing the choice of problem investigated by scientists ...

...Science Technology company case After reviewing the financial forecast from Science Technology Company and Semiconductor industry market situation, I concluded that 30% annual growth is not feasible, optimistic growth forecast is 15% .Because world semiconductor shipment kept growing, but not just semiconductor market but electronic products market was also dominated large market by Japanese manufacturers. If the company carried on with the same profit/cost structure, the company’s ROA would be 5% more or less in next 5 years, EPS would be 0.44 – 0.97 and stock price would goes down to less $10 – less $20. I can assume that there is no additional stock issuance. As of 1984, the ROA is 5.6%, EPS 0.57 and stock price $13-$37. 1. Background Main business Design and manufacture tester and test software for printed circuit boards with worldwide sales and service network, was headquartered in Minneapolis and had plants in Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona.

...The first pocket calculator came onto the market in 1971 (the Bowmar 901B), more commonly known as The Bowmar Brain. It cost a massive $240, but within a decade the prices of similar pocket calculators had fallen to a mere $10. During this time the technology involved progressed enormously: Scientific calculators started to emerge with more and more functions. Programmable pocket calculators came on to the market, capable of storing programmes and instructions. As the years went by, calculators had more and more features and were capable of a great deal. The Ethernet was a step forward from the Arpanet. It was developed in the early 1970s as a method of transferring data over Local Area Networks (LANs). Its emergence is usually attributed to Robert Metcalfe, who wrote a paper with his assistant David Boggs entitled ‘Ethernet: Distributed Packet-Switching for Local Computer Networks'. The next advancement was the creation of the internet. A major step forward in 1986 was the NSFNet (National Science Foundation Network), created as the backbone of a university network. Even in the 1990s, people had to sign an agreement with them in order to access large parts of the public internet. Tim Berners-Lee (whose parents were both mathematicians on the Manchester Mark 1 project) is the man responsible for the creation of the World Wide Web (WWW). He saw the potential of hypertext coupled with the internet and in August 1991 he created the first ever website, which has been archived...

...Company Background : Science Technology Company was a leading manufacturer of computer-controlled automated test equipment (ATE) that was used to monitor and manage quality over the life cycle of electronic products. With 31% market share, the company was the dominant firm in the design and manufacture of testers and test software for printed circuit boards. Its second business was its semiconductor test operation, which manufactured complex systems that cost in excess of $1 million and were used to test state-of-the-art very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. Other Products included a system to test electronic products in the field; systems used to test a products mechanical and structural integrity under stress and computer aided engineering software used to test and verify designs before they were physically built, by creating electronic models and simulating their performance in the software version. Company Objectives and Strategy STC’s primary objective was to be the recognized international leader in providing integrated quality management systems to manufacturers of electronic devices and equipment. This objective required maintaining its leadership in creating new test technologies and new products for all segments of the design and test markets. This commitment to maintain fundamental superiority in test expertise required very heavy spending on research and development. Case Analysis Early in march 1985, Bill Watson, president of STC was reviewing...

...We recommend that Scientific Technology Company implement several immediate cost-cutting measures in order to improve their short-term financial position allowing the company to remain competitive in the current marketplace as well as to ensure future viability in the ATE and VLSI industries. We recommend that Scientific Technology Company immediately shut down its Arizona manufacturing plant. The shutdown and sell off of the fixed assets from the Arizona plant will provide the company with a cash infusion of approximately $21 million. We advise Scientific Technology Company to use this cash infusion to pay towards the $25 million the company has in long-term debt. We also recommend that Scientific Technology Company sell off the $28.33 million in inventories from the Arizona plant. This sell off would bring the company’s Inventories as a % of COGS to 55.45%, which is closer to Scientific Technology’s competitors 48-50% range. The company’s Total Assets as a % of Sales would decrease to 84.88% if these recommendations are implemented. The approximately $50 million dollar savings would decrease COGS to a projected $71 million in 1985 or 24% of sales. These changes would produce an estimated 21.21% return on total assets, an increase from the estimated 16.94% had the Arizona plant remained open. These changes would change 1985 projected EPS from $1.45 to 3.41. With these proposed changes, we also recommend that Scientific Technology Company improve its accounts receivable...

...1. WHAT THE STUDENTS SHOULD DO TO PROTECT WILDLIFE: The students should adopt a wild animal via a wildlife preservation organization. Zoos give us the opportunity to "adopt" wild animals and help in their preservation. Donate to wildlife conservation organizations. Even if it’s one rupee it helps. Become a member of a wildlife organization. They can volunteer with different organizations & zoos. These programs range from cleaning beaches, forests, and deserts, to working with animals, rescuing animals in need, and helping in events and educational programs. This allows us to actively sponsor animals and provide help to the organization of your choice. They can organize your own events or drives to raise awareness and support for wildlife conservation. These sorts of things can be organized at local schools, parks, or recreational centers. Encourage peoples to business to recycle and use recyclable products & also not to business with, or support, companies that aren't supporting the environment. Don't buy products that are made of or contain parts of endangered animals. Be aware that many traditional Asian medicines contain tiger parts and other endangered animals, so don't buy them. Stay informed about what is going on, what animals are in need of help, which companies are helping and which ones aren't. Be aware of global warming, its effects, and what you can do. Be aware of what your local government is doing to promote awareness of wildlife conservation needs and...

...------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form FOLK DANCES There is really no such genre as folk dancing. Rather, there is a large body of unrelated non-classical dance forms. The only thing common among these dance forms is their rural origins. Many folk dances are performed by ordinary people rather than professional dancers. It is very usual that on special occasions, the villagers will gather and sing and dance, accompanying themselves on a variety of folk instruments. Such special occasions include harvesting, planting, marriages and religious holidays. Sometimes the folk dances are performed by professionals. There is the institution of the folk theatre. Professional musicians, actors and dancers travel from village to village performing their dance dramas. This seems to be a rural extension of the ancient theatrical tradition found in the Natya Shastra. However, it appears to have degenerated into a rural tradition. One example of the folk theatre is the Yaksha Gana of Karnatika. It would be more correct to divide these folk dances into two categories: folk and tribal. The difference between the two is cultural. Folk dances are the rural extensions of the larger Indian population. Examples are the Bhangra and the Garba. However, the tribal dances are performed by India's aboriginal populations. These people, known as adivasi, have a culture which is very distinct from the larger Indian population. Attempting to relate...

...TECHNOLOGY BANE OR BOOM? The overt observation of some knowledgeable persons who passionately feel concerned for the welfare of humanity, in the wake of scientific strides and technological triumphs, laments that “technology creates more problems than it solves”. Their concern echoes the similar sentiments of thinkers like J.G.Ballard for whom, “technology dictates the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages or we remain mute”, and for Omar Bradley “our technology has already outstripped our ability to control it”. Despite these jarring notes, technology has acquired a halo that is almost impossible to shake off. Who can deny the robust role and range of technology that we experience in our every day life. If we care to look at the scintillating side of technology, we find space technology and its applications provide useful data for natural disaster monitoring, solving environment problems, improve telecommunications and provide other basic services. Through fax, e-Mail and the Internet, information technology has outstripped all barriers that time and space had placed in man’s search for instant information. Though electronic information is hard to control, yet the individual newsgatherer is visible and vulnerable. The latest in the success story is the likely boom that bio-technology promises to unfold in the years to come. Rightly, biotechnology is being seen by scientists and entrepreneurs alike as the next big thing with the potential...

...or foe? Although there is no debating over both the usefulness and convienency of modern technology as such, different studies show that when it comes to general happiness, modern technology is not a factor. And while we all welcome the breakthroughs constantly being made in medicine for example, modern technology’s effect on human relations is still questionable at best. I think it is becoming quite obvious that the privileges provided for us by today’s science and technology are corrupting our minds in terms of pure human emotions and honest communication. There are studies which show that the more time people spend communicating online, the less desire they have to communicate verbally. Handwritten letters for one have already been largely replaced with e-mails, people talk on the phone and via MSN and other social networking sites daily, without actually seeing each other face to face for months or even years. They might think that modern technology helps them stay acquainted but what it might really be doing is tearing them further apart. Different studies have shown that despite all of the modern technology that surrounds us, we as humans are not happier than we used to be. As a matter of fact, we are actually not even as happy as we used to be. According to studies, the happiest country in the world appears to be Bhutan, which has very little or rather no modern technology at all. This clearly shows that people do not need all the latest gadgets and devices to feel...
