Science and Technology "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration." Thomas Alva Edison

Inventions Describe what you see. How useful are they? Would you use them?

Scientists and their discoveries Alexander Fleming Robert Oppenheimer Caselli, Smith, Carey Konrad Zuse Neil Armstrong Johann Gutenberg Thomas Alva Edison James Watt Orville Wilbur Wright Levi Strauss Printing Light bulb First Engined Airplane Nuclear weapon Steam Engine Penicillin Jeans First computer Television First landing on Moon

The impact of science Make our lives easier (electricity) Save time (mass-production – cheaper and more available goods) Save lives (blood groups, vaccines, X-ray) Spread of information (internet, TV) Transport is becoming quicker (wheel, cars, planes) More food (pesticides and fertilizers) control of the natural forces

Question time 1)How much have technology and science changed since your parents / grandparents were young? 2) What inventions and discoveries have had the greatest impact on mankind? 3) Explain the importance of the invention of writing and printing. 4) Are scientists happier than other people?

5) How do science and technology affect your own life? 6) What inventions or discoveries are the most important for you and why? 7) What problems of humankind should science and technology solve? 8) What abuses of scientific discoveries do you know?

What will the future bring? Space travel Living on other planets Teleport Cloning people Growing replacement organs Robots Immortality etc.
