Michael Faraday- Science and Technology shared by Prof Rajinder

Michael Faraday



A self-taught scientist, Michael Faraday (1791-1867) excelled in chemistry and

physics to become one of the most influential thinkers in history. He's



· been called the "father of electricity," (Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison also wear that crown) and his appetite for experimenting knew no bounds. "Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature; and in such things as these, experiment is the best test of such consistency," he wrote. Faraday discovered laws of electromagnetism, invented the first electric motor, and built the first electric generator-paving the way for our mechanized age.




· SCIECNE AND TECHNOLOGY

• Science means knowledge

• Technology means the application of

science.

• The first scientific tool was spears and needles. Advancement in every sphere of our lives is the effect of science and technology.

• Without science and technology, we

would still be living in the Stone Age.

• We avail several benefits provided to

us by science and technology. • It has provided us with a comfortable

lifestyle.

• At the same time, it makes our lives

very mechanical.

• Despite some disadvantages of science and technology, the human race is highly dependent on them for survival.
