Study Notes
- Science: system of knowledge of the natural world gained through scientific method, primarily concerned with acquisition of new knowledge, preoccupied with "know-why" and disseminated through science papers.
- Science: human cultural activity practiced by scientists, complex system of people, skills, facilities, etc. dedicated to inquiry into and understanding of natural world.
- Modern science: dynamic, cumulative inquiry into nature using scientific method, deals with natural world and its phenomena.
- Technology: comes from Greek words "tekhne" (art or craft) and "logia" (subject or interest), practical application of knowledge, material products of human fabrication.
- Technology: complex system of knowledge, skills, etc. devoted to research, development, production, and operation of new or improved products, processes.
- Society: organized group of people associated as members of a community, development involves transforming research findings into prototype inventions.
- Innovation: commercialization of prototype inventions of research and development into marketable products or processes.
- Science: includes various branches such as geology, chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, and scientific processes like observing, describing, comparing, classifying, measuring, making inferences.
- Types of research: fundamental/basic (gaining new knowledge), applied (practical application), mission-oriented (accomplishing a particular mission or technological objective).
- Types of technology: material technology (extraction, fabrication, processing, combination, synthesis of materials), equipment technology (design and fabrication of tools, instruments, devices, machines), energy technology (distribution of various forms of energy), information technology (machines dealing with data), life technology (devices, medicines, procedures, systems designed to preserve, repair, maintain, reproduce, and improve living systems), management technology (planning, organization, coordination, control of social activities).
