We live in a society which there is a lot of 【1】______
talk about science, but I would say that there are
not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with
schooling, including college, to understand scientific
reasoning. We are more ignorant of science as people 【2】______
with comparable education in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything
about computers -- how to build them, how to take
them apart, and how to write programs for games. So 【3】______
if you ask them to explain about the principles of 【4】______
physics that have gone into creating the computer,
you don't have the faintest idea. 【5】______
The failure to understand science leads to
such things like the neglect of human creative power. 【6】______
It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between【7】______
science and technology. Lots of people don't differ 【8】______
between the two. Science is the production of new
knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology
is the application of knowledge to the production of
some products, machinery or the like. The two are
really very different, and people who have the faculty
for one very seldom have a faculty for the others. 【9】______
Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But
as soon as it can provide technology, it is not
necessarily harmful. No society has yet learned to 【10】______
forecast the consequences of new technology, which
can be enormous.
