Study Notes
Relationship Between Science and Technology
- Science originates from the Latin term "scientia," meaning "to know."
- It represents an organized body of knowledge obtained through study, observation, and experimentation.
- Science is dynamic, evolving as new methods and applications are discovered.
- Technology stems from "techne" (meaning "craft" or "skill") and "logia" (meaning "to study").
- Technology applies scientific knowledge for practical purposes, serving as the implementation of scientific principles.
