Science is a boon to us in so many ways. it allowed us to live longer,avoid pain and have more ways to enjoy. Without development of science and tecnologly, the luxurious life today we are having would not be possible. If we use science properly it is a boon for us if we misuse it will be bane for us.

I feel that science is a kaleidoscope. We arrive at different conclusions when we view it through different angles. Science has proved a gift to society in terms of electricity, health care, ticket booking etc. Certain developments in science has proved derogatory for the creative growth of youth, though. They now spend more time on-line chatting rather than on studies, prayer or useful discussion with friends. I don't think it is the lack of knowledge, but sheer, blind utilization of the apparent luxuries that science offers. A student today knows the latest specifications of I-phone or Ipads. But not the cost of items of daily use. Rice, vegetables, petrol. Signs of science is on the one hand encouraging and on the other hand dismal.

For the past few centuries science was a great boon. It gave tremendous development in all the sectors and the mankind profited a lot. But let me describe the present scenario by citing the example of cloning and genetic exchange. The human race have crossed their limits in scientific values and ethics. We are making it a curse by our own hands.

Yes, Its true, scientific inventions has brought boon to mankind. Its only due to science that we stand where we are to. If it wasn't because of science we wouldn't be having telecommunication. Its has brought the world closer for example, I can visit Durban over internet. Science has truly convinced us to think that the world is so tiny in fact the world is so small because of science. Science is really a boon to us.

We know that every coin has two sides. Similarly technology also have both advantages and disadvantages. Science can become a boon when the user utilizes it properly. Otherwise it can destroy the whole world. For example, Atomic energy. It can develop us if it is properly utilized. If we don't utilize it properly, no man can live on this earth. Without the development of technology, the luxurious life today we are having would not be possible. So definitely, science is a boon.

Hi, I would say that science is really a boon for us. The way we are leading today's life is due to of science. What ever we want to know or don't know, to know about that computers, mobile phones are giving those details about that, which is known as science. So I would like to conclude that science is a boon for us and even for future citizens also.

In my way of think definitely science is a boon, because without technology we can't live our life comfortably many applicationa of science are seeing by us today like computers, mobiles, etc and the science has its advantages in many sectors like transportation, medicine, constructin, etc. Education made easy by the technology now a days by using smart classes. So I think it is our foolishness if any body thought science is a bane because we make it so by misusing its applications. So science is the greatest work done by the man.

In my view science is both boon and bane. Because of man is so lazy when compared to machine. Machine works with the help of science or program what we are given to that. Machine by the mankind. So we are writing or given instructions to the machines. In the similar manner it is very helpful to mankind. For example in olden days we take so much to pay the electricity bill, phone bill etc. , now it is so much easy when compared to those days. This is extraordinary improvement in science. In the similar manner it is bane also so many people using this science in ridiculous way like nuclear bombs, harmful weapons etc. , are used to spoil our motherland. So finally in my view it all depends on our thinking.

Hello. I think science is both a boon and a bane. Because nowadays people use a lot of things. Especially to say scientific thingslike refrigerator, ac, cooler, fan, tube light, computer and lots more. We have endless list of scientific things we use. But in between all of these, there are some people in this society who misbehave with our science inventions like they make bomb, prepare harmful chemicals which damages our mother earth. Which from this side also contains a long list. To say frankly, science has helped the human beings, but in the same manner damaged the nature. Today, in this world we can't live without science. But we also can't live neglecting the nature.

Science is of course a boon to the whole humanity. The things around us, from smaller to lager things developed by advantages of science are of much use for the whole humanity. Human efforts have been reduced with the help of science. There are so many such examples around us. But now a days science has become bane to some extent, for which only humans are responsible and not science. So if science is used in right direction, it is a boon otherwise it will become bane. In my point science is both a boon and bane. But the usage of science for boon is more compared to bane thats why we people are living some what safely. If science is completely harm then living being cannot exist at all. If everyone follow the proverb "BE GOOD AND DO GOOD" science will be our friend forever.

Obviously science is a boon cause if by inventing something something we are thinking that science is creating problem but science is also having solution of every problem. For an example bike, we are saying that the air coming out from it is polluting environment but a air purifying filter is also there which is solution of this problem. Similarly in internet the hacking problem which is quite dangerous but by using various steps we can solve this problem. As everything has advantages and disadvantages science also has.

I accept that we enjoy a number of benefits due to scientific discoveries. Though we enjoy a number of benefits we still have to consider the long term effects of scientific inventions. In my opinion, most of the scientific inventions are dangerous to human society in the long term. We need electricity to enjoy a number of scientific inventions. For producing electricity, we have to depend on natural resources so we are excessively utilizing those resources without thinking about our future generations. The same is the case in other scientific inventions also.

I strongly believe that science is a boon for various reasons like. As the time passed, letters changed into nokia E72, bullock cart changed into metro, a chalk became a combination of several atoms and molecules, "plants can make their own food" became "plants can photosynthesise" and we humans from ancient became modern. Almost all of this was possilbe because of "science". This, I guess, gives an answer to the question-"science-a boon or bane?". Science has truely helped us improve our way of living. People can now be cured of deadly diseases like cancer, they can purify water, travel in space and oppode the gravitational pull of Earth. Science has made our life luxurious by gifting us AC, TV, refrigerator, laptop and computers. Infact, science has improved our sixth sense or forecasting abilities as one can now predict when a tsunami or an earthquake may occur. From tiny atoms and molecules to distilled water, science has helped the mankind understand the nature.

I think it has both boons than banes. It is right it has caused many revolts if it wold be not there wold be no problem. But you can see that how much difference is there is in stone age and now. Now without science we are nothing we are just a body which is of no use. A bane? Science has changed the face of the world. It has, of course, given many things that benefit man. But the evils that it has showered on man wash away the advantages. It has made man depend on machines, calculators and computers. A day may come when his physical and mental faculties may grow so weak that he may not be able to lift a bag or solve a simple equation. In the field of health services, it has given us life-saving drugs. But it has also given drugs like smack and heroin. Nuclear energy created by science has been much praised but the blast in Russia has exploded the myth. Atom bombs created by scientists were thrown on Hiroshima and Nagasaki decades ago. The painful memory still lingers and millions of people are still ill. The greatest harm science has done is to the faith of man. God has become a nonentity. In the modern jungle of mental activities where would a desperate man go? Having lost faith, his intellectual activities lead him to suicide. A number of scientists meet this fate every year in India.

Humans explore, and examine the experiment. This urge to know more, explore the unexplored has lead to formation of a field called science. We are in the age of science and technology. Humans cannot live without the aid of science. Science has very much engufed us that man can not even do his day to day activities without the aid of science. Electricity as a source of energy has revoulutionised the world. As every coin has two sides, science which has bestowed us with development has also brandished us with destruction. Science has lead to the creation of nuclear and atomic energy. Can any one say that the issue of hiroshima and nagasaki can never be repeated? then will not science be a bane for man kind? I think that the blame worthiness should never fall on science. I can definetily say that science is a boon for humans but when it is misused it is the most worst of banes.

There are no extents to define science. Science is every where around us. Some people say it is a boon and some say that it is a bane. According to me it is a boon as every thing have both cons and pros, but the decision is made by observing which side is better. Some who would disagree with me and would believe that science is a bane. Everyone have his/her different opinion. But, friend! science is the discovery, it is the mixture of creativity of human's mind with his/her intelligence. You would say that earlier when all the comforts were not available, everything was just perfect as science was not there. But the stone weapons, invention of fire, cave, animal clothing, everything was discovery, creation, creativity, intelligence in short science. There was no human era in which science was not present as without science the human would be even worse than the new born baby who is totally confused and does not know where he is, and what to do, but he at least know that he have to cry, but without science, humans would not be even in that state. So friends, no to science and technology does not only means that there will no electricity, TV , ac, fridge, taps, computers, internet, transport, etc but it means even more, it means that human would be nothing less than being a living corpse. I agree that it can be harmful if in evil hands, but is it the fault of creativity, intelligence, no it is the fault evil mind. They can use anything to facilitate their plans and if this is the case, then according to it, if someone is stabbed, then the knife through which the murderer had killed the victim should be punished and is to be blamed and not the murderer.

Humans are the most advanced and intelligent species in the universe, their greatest work is Science. The word science comes through the Old French, and is derived from the Latin word scientia for knowledge. Science- this single word itself has a lot to say. Science has truly been the burning topic of the century. Today, you just need to think about any sector and the word science will surely come up. Science technology has made an immense impact on nearly every sphere of daily life. Science plays a major role in today's society. Science has made life easier for man. Thanks to science we can travel from one corner of the world to another within seconds. Transportation has become a million times easier due to science and technology. Many of our problems have been solved because of Science. Inventions like Telephone, Internet, Mobile help in communicating over long ranges, Through telecommunication and technology science has brought the world closer. Today a man in India can communicate through the internet to a person in another nook of the world. Science has truly made us say that this is a small, small world. Infact; the world has become so small for us that we have started exploring the space and are even thinking of settlements on Mars. Science has done a great service to mankind by giving birth to medical technology. Medical Science has developed a lot, Thousands of lives are saved every day due to the progress of medical science. . Today, Once incurable diseases like small-pox have completely been eradicated and dreaded maladies like Cancer are no longer without a remedy. These days there is a cure or atleast a prevention for almost every diseases. In short we totally depend upon these things. The knowledge of isotopes, the discovery of radioactivity, the discovery of fission, have all led to technological advances and added to our comforts. Science is important in today's life. We cannot live without science in the modern world. Science can be called one of the greatest blessings of this. Yet the problem is whether science is a boon or bane to society. Science is truth, truth is beauty and beauty is god. Science nurtures intelligence but leaves the will and emotions uncared for. It is said that knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. Is science really a bane? It is said that science is a good servant but a bad master. As religion is a matter of faith, science is a matter of fact. Modern warfare is destructive beyond the wildest dreams of our unscientific predecessors. Machine guns, shells, submarines, the atom and hydrogen bombs can destroy the world in the twinkling of an eye. Aeroplanes in war act as engines of mass destruction. Not only in times of war but in times of peace also man lives in the midst of disease. Though cures are being invented diseases are multiplying too. If the former is in arithmetic progression, the latter is in geometric progression. That is why peace lovers blame science as a curse. The emerging science has both advantage and disadvantage. You will come to know what is around you. Its development should move in the positive direction. For example if you take nuclear energy it helps us in generating electricity and the same is used for weapons which destructs the peace. When the nuclear bombs are tested it makes a loud explosion and creates noise pollution and it also destroys the fertility of the nearby lands. However, misuse of any good thing has been common in history, that doesnt make a blessing a curse. It is not impossible to remove at least some of the curses of science. We must resolve to use it only to make life better for man. We must also not pollute our planet or cut trees any more. We must not build any more arms until every man has food on his plate. In this way, we can build a better world. Science is like a knife. A knife can be used to cut vegetables. The same knife can also be used as a lethal weapon. In the same way science can be used as a tool for the development but like every coin has another side, science, when it is in wrong hands can be abused. When man first learned to make fire - technology started. Obviously there is a science behind making fire. Though he did not know it during the then period, but now he is quite aware of it. Not only that, he is now developing newer and newer ways and uses in the matter. Had there been no fire development, we would not have reached to such an age. Fire can burn everything. Should we say that fire is a curse? The "boons" and "curses" of science are only results of how man uses them. For example, you can use a brick to build a house (boon) you can use it to break someone's head (curse). Effect of science is neither bad nor good. It is effect only and it is our view point that describes it as bad or good. The question whether Science and Technology is a boon or curse depends upon the person (s) who utilizes the inventions in these fields. A wise person utilises it for the benefit of humanity and a bad person utilises it for the destruction of humanity. Throughout history, science and technology have proved to be a see-saw of sorts, with the ups and downs, benefits and disadvantages, increasing with time. Today, our quality of life in first-world countries is comparatively excellent - life expectancy is high, general affluence is high, entertainment is readily available. But also we live with the terrible, ever present knowledge that one skirmish, one conflict, one mistake, could destroy the delicate balance of the see-saw and our weapon. Hence I can state indubitably that science is a great boon for humankind, but when it is misused it can prove to be the most worst of banes.

Instead we would have to go to a river or a pond because there would not have been any taps, buckets. Without science we would not get a paper to write as the manufacturing of papers need chemicals. Moreover science is a great antidote to the poisons of superstitions. Today all of us probably love to go visit various places. That would not have been possible without the invention of transports.

Science A Boon Or A Ban. Gone is the age of steam. We are now in the age of hydrogen bombs and electricity. The most fantastic dreams of H. G. Wells in his novel Dream have come true. Thus, in this space age, where the wonders of science excel the wonders of nature, science affects our day-to-day life. Science has surpassed the old miracles of mythology and yesterday's faith has proved to be today's superstition in the crucibles of science. Yet the problems is whether science is a boon or bane to society. Science is truth, truth is beauty and beauty is god. Science nurtures intelligence but leaves the will and emotions uncared for. It is said that knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. Science triumphs in automating processes but now it reigns over man. Automation is the order of the day. The spectre of war and destruction haunts the world and nobody is safe. Controlling scientific knowledge with moral judgment may be a solution to this dilemma. Audiovisual appliances annihilate times and distances. Science is the handmaid of modernity. But more valuable than these concrete achievements is the spirit of science. Science means systematised knowledge. It finds the causes of phenomena and works through observation and experiments. Science is the torchbearer of civilisations. Is science really a bane? It is said that science is a good servant but a bad master. As religion is a matter of faith, science is a matter of fact.

Science which has bestowed us with development, progress, expansion and growth has also brandished us with hostilities, destruction, violence, ruin, devastation, annihilation bloodshed, carnage and obliteration. Gone are the days when peace and tranquility used to prevail throughout the world. Today a gun booms in one corner of the world or another everyday. Wars are fought between countries for years and years together at a stretch. Families are torn apart and friends are lost forever, never to be reunited. By giving birth to weaponry, war craft and armaments it can be indisputably said that science is the root of battles, armed conflicts and international disputes. Thanks to science we are plunging headlong into an era of nuclear wars. Due to the advent of science the longevity of life has greatly increased. But, this is paving the way for over-population and population explosion. This has resulted in mass deficiency of land. Today, due to this we are even auctioning of land on the moon! Thus, I have illustrated some of science's advantages and disadvantages. But can we really blame science when it comes to the disadvantages? I believe that the culpability lies with those who misuse science. The radar of blameworthiness, In my opinion, should never fall on science. Hence I can state indubitably that science is a great boon for humankind, but when it is misused it can prove to be the most worst of banes. Ression. That is why peace lovers blame science as a curse.

The sole aim humans is to be happy and they could be so without it. One may say that it has made life comfortable with invention of AC, planes and myriad more but simultaneously it has also led to rise of so many problems. Global warming, pollution, decrease in health etc. And it is very funny to note that science believes in 'Allah'. If you ask an astronomer about what created the single point which led to big bang, the answer would be 'Allah'. If science can now cure chronic diseases, it is science which keeps on creating new diseases. Such as eating chemically grown crops leads to bio-magnification etc. Etc. Nevertheless, the discoveries being made now were already stated in 'Qurans' and 'Vedas'. How can you trust science when NASA faked the moon landing?

Science is truth,truth is beautiful and beautiful is god.Yet the problem is whether science is boon or bane. According to me science is neither boon nor bane. Gone is the age of steams.We are now in the age of hydrogen bombs,electricity and much more.One the other science has brandished us with hostile,ruin etc. It is truly said that science is a good servant but a bad master. So it completely depends on us that how we use it(in a way of boon or bane).

In olden days there used to be a habit of writing letters which improves one's writing and literary skills but what's the use of talking rubbish for hours and hours on chat or mobiles ?It's utter waste of time.

If you take in the field of medical science, in olden days anybody was suffering with any disease either they could recover with Ayurveda treatment or depends on a god blessing but now a days for every disease a special instruments, equipment is present to handle the disease like ECG, dylisys.

Hi! friends, According to me science is neither good nor bad. But it depends on the use or misuse by the persons. In modern time science has given us more and more facilities.By the use of science our many problems have been solved. Science has made human life very comfortable.Science is just like equipments. If a man use is properly it gives happiness, if a man misuse it gives destruction. But now a days by the using of science a mas has become highly materialistic. Because science has given us more and more machines/facilities. A machine is working at the place of hundred or thousand people. So many people have become unemployed. Socrates once said "Handsome is who does hanndsome". In the same way i said " wonderful is who does wonders". To conclude we can say that science is not only boob but also curse but it is mostly depends on the use and misuse of humanity.

The way I see it, is that there are different ways of perceiving the world and science offers us a way of aiming toward truth and perception, however it is not the only way and It is incredibly futile to believe that it is the only way and we can only truly appreciate this when we truly realise the type of damage that science has caused. Furthermore science is far from bad in fact the opposite but it is when the humankind neglects other methods of arriving at truths and becomes arrogant in its aims where damage is the result. I base that on understanding eastern cultures and I am wise enough to realise that the west is far far far from perfect and that the east is not inferior to the west.

Science is neither a boon nor bane. It all depends on how a person uses the technology. In the present age it is necessary to prove ourselves in every aspect. For this thing science is the major aspect of all in proving a nations development. A country cannot develop drastically until and unless if they make use of science. For example consider construction of a building, it takes couple of years or so to construct a multistored building without the help of technology. But once if we make use of tools and machines developed by science it is no wonder that the building can be constructed with in 6 months. But at the same time due to machines and all man is becoming lazy day by day. He could not do his work even by his own. For every thing he is depending on the machines from washing their clothes to cleaning their houses. Once imagine your day without out science it will be horrible. One must not depend on machines for everything. So finally I would like to conclude that science itself is a creator (robot) and a destroyer (dynamite).

Hi I think whatever science does is a boon for mankind. How can you say that science is a bane? When we ask this question, many will reply saying that it was science that invented the nuclear weapon. From their reply, it is evident that a normal layman has not understood science. The theory behind an atom bomb was proposed by Albert Einstein though he was not aware of the atom bomb when he proposed it. His theory was used by a number of nuclear physicists like Enrico Fermi and Robert Oppenheimer to develop the atom bomb. Though they made the first atom bomb, no scientist ever wanted to drop it on Japan. For political reasons, a number of politicians used science as a tool. This does not make science a bane. It was used in a wrong way. How does this make science bane? There are a number of thing that science is doing now. Science is trying to answer the following three question and if these three questions are answered, then it would certainly bring a change in our way of thinking. Those three questions are 1. Who are we? 2. How did we originate? 3. What are we doing here? These three question are the most fundamental questions that are lingering in the ears of great minds like Steven Weinberg, Ed Witten and Leonard Susskind. Can't we see that science is propagating in the direction of development? Why do we still think that science is something like a demon? Science is the only tool with which we find a number of secrets hidden in nature. There is no other way in which such secrets can be revealed. If its not science, then there is nothing else.

I vote for science is a boon coz as meena said it really helped out in reducing the mortality rate and also increased our birth rate this may be a usual point but it means a lot......infant deaths which was a consequence of diseases which r no matter now a days.............science gave its hand and lifted our army too to a status to against the countries who try to attack us and also help other countries who r i need....... India strived a lot to get into the list of developing countries with the help of science and am sure that science would join its hand with India to carve its name under the developed nations list............ many would voice for science is a bane....it is, when we use it in a wrong way.... as done in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

According to me science is a boon definitely. Because in olden days many people died due to diseases like chicken pox and others but now due to the advancement in science and technology the death rate is decreased. Not only in the field of medicine also in communication area, we are able to communicate with people at very long distances so easily...it improves relationships...we have reached the moon...the inventions are definitely a boon unless and otherwise we use it in a proper way.

Science is of course a boon to the whole humanity. The things around us, from smaller to lager things developed by advantages of science are of much use for the whole humanity. Human efforts have been reduced with the help of science. There are so many such examples around us. But now a days science has become bane to some extent, for which only humans are responsible and not science. So if science is used in right direction, it is a boon otherwise it will become bane.

Science can be boon for us if we consider only good impacts created by it. We are really enjoying its advancement. But indirectly it has its bad impacts also. Like great disastrous produced by bombs. Global warming, depletion of ozone. And many environment problems created due to it. It can be explained by a simple example. A refrigerator is very useful for a persons daily life. But it produce chlorofluorocarbon which is responsible for depletion of ozone layer. Hence the development in science leads to destroy of nature. So we cant justify whether its boon or bane.

Science and technology are good and advancement is very very good but life span me man getting decreased. So sure science need to be further developed to reduce more our death age. Not so mutants and unnatural intentions always leads to death depend on nature even its and intention else we are reducing our children's age as grandfathers we have to look far ahead me future generation. Hence my plea is to honor nature and avoid something which damage nature. Once a scientist invent something next day some one prove it wrong and we not blame any one since we human not know what is what. So believe the Creator of the universe 'THE REAL GOD'. Invent something by his advice you believe or not it's fact. Cool.

Humans are the most advanced and intelligent species in the universe, their greatest work is Science. Many of our problems have been solved because of Science. Inventions like Telephone, Internet, Mobile help in communicating over long ranges, Through telecommunication and technology science has brought the world closer. Today a man in India can communicate through the internet to a person in another nook of the world. Science has made life easier for man. Thanks to science we can travel from one corner of the world to another within seconds. Transportation has become a million times easier due to science and technology. Science is a boon as well as bane. For example the bomb is invented by Noble, we may use this bomb in proper way or improper way how means by using bombs we get the raw materials of gold and some valuable things in the same way we the single bomb to destroy the country also it basically depends on how we are receiving that science only.

"Nothing is good or bad but man thinking makes it so", a famous quote fits good in the case of science. If we think science as Good it become boon for us and if we think bad it become curse for us. For example, Internet is a very most valuable invention for human being. If we think it as a boon of science for human life it provides as all the small or large details of everything which are coming in your mind. All transactions related to banking, online reservation of movie tickets or rail, air-planes, map and location of any place in the world etc. Available on internet. But if we think Internet for bad activity it becomes curse for us. Many people use internet to hack the transactions, some of them use to access the privileges of another computer organizations, for getting the location of attack, many other destructive types entertainment etc.

I think the science is always for human life. Now the time has reached, without science a man could not survive his life comfortable. The electricity is one of the greatest wonders of modern society. Medical science is the part of a man. Also science has used in the field of agriculture. By the transport system the world has changed to a global village. So, that the science always boon for human society.

Science for me is one of the best ways of satisfying the ultimate curiosity of the man to know the origin of the universe and to even get a step closer to god. Science has enabled us to increase our knowledge exponentially. The applications of our knowledge have been diverse. To a lay man who cant get the essence of the origin of man the discovery of space, the power of the neutrons, the applications of science would justify it being a bane. To a scientific persona, essence of science lies in the development of man not destruction. I would say that the real implications of science would only be realised if the meaning of science has been conveyed to one and all.

Scientific technology is a bane. All are saying about the usage of cell phones and internet ya it is of course beneficial but if they get damaged they become e wastes and it becomes very difficult to dispose it. So this world turn as a waste land for our future generations.
