"Science is boon or bane" it is too difficult to say because all world depends on science and we cannot imagine live without science. Science has spreaded his feet in every domain. But We are also know that every product of science has side effect like when we take medicine to get relief instantly by this you will have to face a new problem in future as it's side effect. Where as anybody can do his work easily by using science, in other words science makes our life easy, but what about those people they got unemployed by the science created machineries. I am totally not oppose to science but the side effects that created by science products for example, air pollution it makes the hole of ozone wide day by day. Science does not have any proper solution of that. Now we feel that it is boon for us. May be it bane for us in future.

Science is not a sacred cow. Science is a horse. Don't worship it. Feed it. According to me, science is a bane for as due to the technology mankind is becoming more and more lazy and are badly dependent on technology. There are at least two levels on which science could be considered a bane. The first is the invention of things that have had a deleterious effect on the world such as weapons of mass destruction or toxic wastes that can poison inhabitants for years. The second major group for whom science is a bane are the deeply religious who prefer to use scripture and other man-made material to explain human existence and human destiny. Science is their enemy since it has explained a lot of the mysteries that plagued early humans and in doing that has neutralized much of the power that the clergy has held over believers.

We are in the age of science and technology. Man cannot live without the aid of science. Science has so much engulfed our lives that nothing can take place in our day to day work without the help of science. Our food, transport, learning, administration, recreation and social life are all linked with science in various ways. To answer the question whether science has come to mankind as a boon or as a use for ruin (bane) ,one should know what science exactly means. Science is said to be a systematic classification of experiences. We, men wonder at the various things and events happening around us. We get doubts; what are they? These questions are the basic seeds for science. Then starts the thinking, reasoning, analysis, synthesis, comparison and contrast and finally the truth emerges. Scientists say there is a scientific method for everything and there are inevitable steps to be followed: (1) Observation (2) Hypothesis (3) Experiment (4) Theory and (5) Proof. All scientists have, in a way, followed these steps. The aim of science is search for truth, and to know things, hitherto unknown. A scientist does not accept ideas, simply because, they were accepted by others earlier. Great discoveries are a result of reasoning. A lot of patience and observation are required. Civilization, as it is today, is the result of a number of discoveries made in the field of science. The invention of them simple wheel has resulted in our modern industrialization. Electricity, as a source of energy, has revolutionized the world. Medical science is so much advanced that the average life of an Indian has risen to 62 years from 35 years. Science has contributed to the success of our green revolution and now we have enough food for all. We have enough clothing and better shelter too. All this is possible, because of science. Radios, T.C s and cinemas which entertain us are the products of science. So a common man has to conclude that science is a boon to mankind. There is the other side of the coin also. T.L. Peacock says; "I almost think that it is the ultimate destiny of science to exterminate the human race". That is the other point of view. It is science, which gave birth to destructive weapons like dynamite, guns, rifles, rockets, atom bombs, hydrogen bombs etc. It is science that gave electrical power and nuclear power. If nuclear power is used for peaceful purposes, there is no need for fear. But after all it is human to err. Can anyone say that there is no chance of the destruction of a Hiroshima or a Nagasaki being repeated? If that happens, will not science be a bane of humanity?

Science is a creator because it makes our life comfortable. Right from birth to death we use science. It makes our ideas to be realistic and flexible. Science brought about change of attitude in life. For eg: in the electronic invention we say that dazzling electric lamp illuminate our houses, electric trains makes our journey faster, and also rockets and satellite zoom in to space. So, science should couple with moral, it should be our servant not our master. Finally science is a creator if we use in a right way.

According to me, we can say that science is the systematic knowledge so science is also boon because without science we can not imagine a healthy world. Science is also boon for human life because sciences provides new knowledge to the people. If we would like that so than we can achieve control on the bane by the science (boon). We can take advantage of the science in anytime and everywhere but some short time science may be bane. Science can assume and fascinate us all but science is truth is beauty is God. Overall it can be concluded and we can say that science have take many advantages and few limitations in the world.

Science is always a bane. Tell me of one thing which was created by science and does not lead to pollution or waste. I am talking about modern day science. Science can also be looked from a perspective of life which is quite different from the modern day science. Starting from radio waves, pens, chocolates, books, fruits and vegetables wherever science entered it only created huge non biodegradable and indigestible waste. Science has preserved diseases in the form of vaccines. Science has given birth to more powerful and indestructible viruses and diseases. Even the computers as long as you use its OK once they need to be discarded they are non biodegradable waste which is dumped in third world countries. Many inventions of science have led to vulgarity, lack of knowledge and what all nonsense that could be spread at the cost of nothing. Science has created enough weapons to destroy the whole human race a million times. Then what for science is good. Think on it.

Science has given everything to mankind, it is gradually depriving man of certain values like love for fellow people, diligence, awareness about the environment and so on. Like a coin with two sides, science has its own advantages and disadvantages. In fact, science is only to assist man and not to dominate him. If all scientists of the world take a vow to use science only for constructive purposes, if the people of the world decide not to depend too much on scientific equipment's, if science contributes only to the conservation of the earth, science is really a boon to the world.

Every coin has two phases. The same science which has been of such great assistance to mankind has another face. 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, Warcraft 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. The exploitation of science can result in several disastrous consequences like nuclear wars, catastrophic pollution and ruinous bloodshed. It is only due to science that we stand where we are today. 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! Machine guns, shells, submarines, the atom and hydrogen bombs can destroy the world in the twinkling of an eye. Aero-planes 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.

Science is bane for world. Because science and technology has not only grabbed us. It has also grabbed the living creature like animals, insects, bees etc. The vibration produced by mobile phone can also kill the bees. Some years after end of honey bee is certain whole human life will also finish. Animals get problems in taking breathe due to harmful gases being produced from industries and factories depend on science and technology. So the science and technology has destroyed the whole environment. From all these comments we can say that although science and technology has great advantage but all are small near its disadvantage. So by seeing its disadvantage we should use it only in necessity, not always which can easily be done by us.

Sasikanth said: (Mon, Oct 1, 2012 11:33:59 PM)

Science according to me is definitely a boon. One argument people use to against this is that Science is a threat to human life in many ways which I completely agree but I would say take me to the stone age and I would show how people can kill with stones and sticks. This more of a philosophical topic. Science does have its advantages and disadvantages but if we weigh them the advantages are clearly more. Take dynamite for example it was one of the most useful things ever invented but it was also a deadly weapon in bad hands but clearly the amount people profited was tremendously greater than the incidents which killed people (which are of course bad). So this is completely dependent on the owner of that piece of science and how they use. Above was one part about individual use. Now if we take the whole world combined everyone is contributing to pollution let it be vehicles or sprays or plastic etc any other harmful substance. These should be taken care of or it is threating to coming generations to come (already affecting this gen). My conclusion science definitely wins and but it should be used in rightful manner and efficiently without harming individuals or nature.

The technology provided by the science to the world is amazing. Without having a internet, TV, etc. , we can't imagine our lives and the advantageous medicines and transporting, machines etc are the technology invented to reduce the human work. At the same time the disasters which are happened by using the technology are under the disadvantageous side. Any thing in the world is good until we use it in a proper way.

Science was meant to be a good servant but has now turned out to be a bad master. Science as Curse: 1. Due to various scientific inventions, the jungle tracts has been destroyed thus creating harm to the ecological balance. 2. Today though the vehicles have reduced the distance for us, the pollution it causes cannot be overlooked. 3. Has lessened the amount of physical exercises there by increasing several ailments and posture diseases. 4. Many lost their lives in the leakage of chernobyl Nuclear power plant and due to the Methyl Iso cyanate (MIC) gas leakage in Bhopal a few years back. This was due to the so called scientic advancements. This is because of human failure to anticipate the Disasters. Science as Boon: One cannot regret the fact that science has done many good to humans. 1. One can compare the advancement of the nation to that of civilization. A civilized nation is one which has achieved scientific progress. 2. Fast means of transport like aeroplane, and other vehicles have made the world a global village. 3. Telephone, TV, satellite, Internet have made it possible to get the latest information. 4. It has given us new medicines to fight diseases. 5. It has revolutionized our education system.

Einstein gave the equation E=mc2 so that the atomic energy can be measured and used for solving the energy crisis. He didn't even thought that his equation may lead to the devastation of two cities (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and create a potential threat to the mankind. Though we can generate a very large amount of energy from nuclear reactions they still possess a danger. Would you like to live near a Nuclear Power Plant? Major scientific developments took place in the post Second World War period which also witnessed the Cold War between USA and USSR. That means, majority of the scientific developments took place for warfare purposes. Another thing, the development of computer made man lazy, weakened his physical abilities, reduced his vision and overall made him think less. We use mobile phones so that at any corner of the world we can talk with our friends and relatives just to tell them that you suffer from cancers due to radiation from mobile phones themselves. Scientific developments are much worthy of many things. But it is us who always make their negative side.

Sir Alfred Nobel experimented with dynamite to clear huge mountains to turn it into productive land. But modern man is using it to kill his fellow human beings and destroy nature. The destructive potential of atomic energy was witnessed in August 1945, when the United States dropped atom booms on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those who survived the nuclear bombing suffered from its aftermath. It is a horrible fact that much of the national income of even a developing country is spent on acquiring latest weapons, bombs and missiles. Guns, revolvers, tanks and fighter planes, explosives, nuclear bombs etc. Were invented to develop a strong security system to protect the innocent masses, but their misuse is now crushing humanity. Apart from atomic weapons, man has also started stockpiling biological and chemical weapons. These weapons are also extremely dangerous. Biotechnology is a great boon for fighting the diseases. But along with medicines lethal biological weapons have also been developed. Germs are deliberately released into the air to spread diseases. Anthrax envelopes are used for spreading terrorism. The negative effects of the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, used to increase yield, are now evident. Soil salinity has increased. Traces of DDT are found in plants. Establishment and expansion of factories has resulted in all round pollution. Motor vehicles emit a lot of poisonous material into the atmosphere. This has led to the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming. Television, a good source of entertainment, education and information, has its negative effects too. There are many programmes which promote violence and vulgarity, and teenagers are more interested in watching these programmes. Aggressiveness and violence at an early age have lead to shocking crimes. Sometimes, even the nature people learn and apply different methods of crime by watching serials and movies. Science has two faces-good and bad. It depends on us which face we want to see.

Now-a-days due to wrong usage of science& technology by some youngsters makes parents to think that it is a bane. They think improvement in social and technological development makes their wards to move in wrong path who doesn't understand even without science their wards may move in the same path.

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.

Science will always be a boon and not a curse, because without science nobody can reach in such a great position in which we are in now. Science is the only thing that helped us to go out to space and achieve many great achievements. If someone says that science is a curse, it is because they don't know that we people are the ones who use science in bad way. For this we can't blame science but we should blame ourselves for this. If we use science in a proper way then people will start saying that science is a boon and not a curse. So I have a request to the people who thinks that science is a curse. The thing is without science will you be able to play in your MP3 players or your iphones? So, just think about it and change your attitude.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

The spectra of war and destruction haunts, the world and no body is safe.

Listen! I might be at some point wrong, but in my views science is a bane. Science has harmed our lives much rather than improving it. 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).

Obviously, as a coin has two sides, science n technology also have both merits and demerits. In one hand. Due to this science and technology a flower of zeal and happiness has been bloosm. On the other hand, the flower of sad and tears. I mean all the people in the world are not rich who are still deprived of using all the inventions of science. Actually who is there to look afterwards them?

Science is neither boon neither bane it depends upon us how we make use of it. If we use it in a limited way then sciene is boon for us otherwise it will bane for you. Without science we cannot see the different colors of nature. It helps us in many ways if we are travelling by plane or a vehicle is the invention of science. No doubt it really a friend of us. In every area ie, agriculture aviation or IT is plays a vital role. Before this era of science farmers grow a limited crops but today in the same field they grow more and more crops in the same field and less time to use hybrid seeds. In my opinion science is boon. In the field of medical science today there are so many treatment availble which cure the cronic disease. 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. In this way we can always find defects in each and everything we discover in our lives. Without science we are nothing. The building you are in, the chair you sit, the shirt you wear, the shoes you use are all made up of science. It made our lives far easy and comfortable. Can we bear a 5 minutes power loss now. ? Not at all. Its just like a fire. We can make food with that. Or can burn the house.

Without science we cannot see the different colors of nature. But now a days everything is done with the help of machines. Now a days children play only video games and spend whole time on the computer by sending e. Mail and by chating. In this case science is bane for us. A few years ago there were no telephones, mobiles and vehicles like car, aeroplane etc. Therefore for sending any letter sometimes it takes a few months and years also. In this case science is boon for us. So, guys it only depends upon us.

Science is not boon or bane. Boon and bane is depend on us that how we were using it. Nowadays the big operation is done by many machines so in this case science is boon but also nowadays children were not playing outside games and they were always seen on computer and playing video games so in this case science is bane that's why I am telling that science in not boon or bane it is just that how we are using it.

Science is not boon or a bane. It is only the thought of a man because science does not know it's debt to imagination. Really science became the reason of misery or any distress. If we did't discover aerosol like spray, nowadays it became rare to see such a diverse condition such as glacier melting, global warming. So, it is our fault to say this that is science is boon or bane. So we did not give any shame to science. The main reason behind the big issue is human. So we should pay attention to our activity.

Science is a boon and a bane based on how we make use of it. In olden days it used to be very difficult for people to communicate through letters but now we have many sorts of ways such as e-mails, mobiles, etc. In this way one can say science is a boon but what's the use. 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. In this way we can always find defects in each and everything we discover in our lives. So stop questioning and use science and technology in a much useful and careful way.

Science may have paved the way to destruction. Our mankind has also lost many lives just by the development of science. But just think of it's strength. Without science we are nothing.

According to science is always a boon because without science it would have been impossible for us to live in this world. Science is getting improved day by day rather we can say that man has started to explore new things this is said to be the development of science. There is a saying that science is a curse only by those who have not seen the positive side of the science actually it depends upon the persons view science is always boon for example if one wants to read this article in the net then there should be internet which is great creation of man due to the advancement of science so science is always a boon but it being exploited by greedy persons.

According to me, science is a boon only and it depends on the users. The invention of equation e=mc^2 paves way for the destruction of two countries. Lots and lots of million of poeple destroyed in this. But this plays much in solving energy crisis. Nowadays automobiles, vehicles makes our life comfortable in moving but at the same time, pollution destroys the ozone and creates major problem. By considering this we say, to solve this kinds of problem alsoa new scientific advancement paves a new way.

As the given topic is science is boon or bane. I can say it depend upon people in what way they use the science. We can take many example like in olden days if we wanted to travel or when we had to visit any place or any message we had to conve it was taking a day, a month, sometime a year also but now a days due to science it is possible only in second or maximum in a day. 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. If you take in the field of luxurious life in olden days man had to depend upon only on climatic condition like to take the enjoyment of hot or cold but now days we can create this by using many scientific ways.

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.

Scientific development should be a boon, because without its improvement no human can play a role of human, he might be one among the monkeys till today, only the technology had pay the way for the monkeys to create such a beautiful world with all equipments that are needed to survive in this world. So the scientific benefits can be considered as boon.

Science is in fact a very great thing. We can say that science is a boon and a bane. Science is useful to us very much but we need to use it a a proper manner and usefully. Wastage of these modern science equipment and technology is a also a bad thing. Now, let's come back. Yes, I agree. Science is nothing but the exploitation of nature as technology has become very dangerous. For instance, let's take NUCLEAR POWER. It is very harmful to the humanity. The storage and management level of radioactive waste is very high, so is dangerous.
