Science and technology

Science and technology are subjects covering science, technology, and the interaction between them. Science is a systematic company that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of interpretation and prediction of nature and the universe. Technology is a collection of technologies, methods, or processes used to produce goods and services, to achieve scientific research and other consumer requirements.

Science can solve scientific problems by promoting technology development and creating demand for new tools, or demonstrate technical possibilities that have not been considered until now. As a result, technology may improve science by promoting scientific research, creating technologies that can only be created through research, and questioning the new principles of technology dependent.

In most human history, technical improvement is achieved by coincidence, trial and error, or voluntary inspiration. When modern science matures with enlightenment, it focuses on the fundamental problems of nature. Research and development for the application of real-time technology has recently been done, has emerged with the industrial revolution, and became common in the 20th century.

As an academic field, science and technology are often combined with engineering and mathematics as the STEM field.

The history of science and technology is investigating how human understanding of science and technology has changed over centuries.

Science and technology often analyzes society and interacts with it often (see Technology and Society).

For the history of modern Chinese science and technology, see the history of science and technology in the People's Republic of China. For the modern Chinese science and technology, please refer to the science and technology of the People's Republic of China. For the science and technology of Hyundai Taiwan, please refer to the Ministry of Science and Technology (PRC). One of the earliest inventions was an abacus, a "shadow clock", and an opening project like Kong Ming Lantern. Four inventions, compass, gunpowder, paper, printing are one of the most important technological advances and became known only in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages in 1000 years. Tangyo (AD 618 - 906) was a time of great innovation in particular. Until the Qing Dynasty, there was a lot of communication between the discovery of China and the West.

These four inventions are not necessarily summaries of the achievements of ancient Chinese science and technology. These four inventions are considered to be the most important scientific and technological achievements in China just because they are a powerful driving force for the development of European capitalism, which occupies a prominent position in the East-West exchange I will. Indeed, ancient China gained a score far beyond the four major inventions of agriculture, iron and copper metallurgy, coal and oil mining, machinery, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, porcelain, silk and wine making. Many inventions and discoveries contribute greatly to China's productivity and social life. Many are as important as at least four inventions and some are even more important than the four inventions.
