Science and Technology has been around from the beginning of time.

It evolved from the everyday efforts of people trying to improve their

way of life. Throughout history, humankind has developed and utilized
tools, machines, and techniques without understanding how or why
they worked or comprehending their physical or chemical composition.
Before we go any further a definition has to be given for both Science
and Technology because they are both different in their own right
even though the two are almost indistinguishable. According to the
Oxford Dictionary Technology can be defined as the knowledge or use
of the mechanical arts and applied sciences, while Science can be
defined as the branch of knowledge involving systematized
observation and experiment. Science can be further divided into three
separate categories; Pure, Applied and Natural Sciences. In addition
technology is often defined as applied science, it is simply the
application of scientific knowledge to achieve a specific human
purpose, however, historical evidence suggests technology is a
product of science.
Today there are many technological advancement to enhance our
daily activities, whether it be as simple as an Ipod for entertainment
purposes or as vital as an artificial heart for the survival of a human
live, science and technology is the reason for its existence.
Science and Technology can be traced from the origin of human life 2
million years ago and each era has significant advancement. The
earliest known form of S&T were human artefacts found during
prehistoric time about 2.3 million years ago, they were roughly shaped
stones used for chopping and scraping, found primarily in eastern
Africa. Some of the earliest record of science came from
Mesopotamian cultures around 400 BC, disease symptoms, chemical
substances and astronomical observations were some of the evidence
of emerging science. During the same period in the Nile Valley of
Egypt information on the treatment of wounds and diseases and even
some the mathematical calculations you are currently doing now in
fifth form such as angles, rectangles, triangles and the volume of a
portion of a pyramid have been around for thousands of years.
From 300-400 BC there was a rise in philosophers who wrote topics
on psychology, biology, psychology and a host of others. There was
Euclid the founder of modern geometry, Archimedes the founder of
engineering mechanics who calculated a value for pi which we still use
up to this very day and he also invented the first water pump.
