Essay "Blessings of science" by Uroosa Noor

"Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge."

Nowadays,We live in the age of science. It has changed the face of our earth or world. Scientific invention like computer, satellite, X-ray, radium, plastic surgery, cellular phone, photography and machine have been proved very useful. They have given much comfort ease convenience. These are due to hard and continuous work of our scientist.

Electricity is one of the invaluable gifts of science. It has been proved to be a boon in this modern world. It has saved us from unnecessary toil it gives us lights. It keeps our room warm. It moves our fans. It boils water for us. A crane lifts up very heavy loads for us with the help of electricity.

Machines are our extra limbs. They weave clothes for us. Productions of goods are cheap and quick. We can fly like birds. We can cross the sea like fish. Computer and calculator do the work of accounted and clerks. Guns and firearms save our life in danger. Radio and television sings for us.

In the medical field new drugs have been invented. They have been popular and useful to us. Sometimes a single dose of drug ends dose pain. A weeping child begins to smile. Thus we see that science serves us like a good servant.

We should remember that our ill are not due to science. It is its wrong use which has created harm. The proper uses of scientific things are really a boon, while its wrong use is a curse. This is why Prof. Hardy wrote, ‘science is an angle in peace but devil in war.’
