3 Science and Technology
is like a double-edge sword has both positive and negative sides has improved the quality of life (like food, shelter, clothing, transportation, communication,…) is highly devastating to human life (like weapons, drugs, antibiotics, …) The wrong usage of technology may lead to man´s self-destruction.

4 What benefits does science bring?
increased production and reduced labor higher living standards improvement in the life expectancy of people faster exchange of information more variety and choices

5 What benefits does science bring?
increases our understanding / knowledge of the world shows how the world / universe / natural phenomena work(s) is the most reliable way of showing what is true or false can be applied to make our lives more convenient / better etc..

6 Technology´s harmful effects
environmental pollution depletion of natural resources unemployment undesirable changes in people’s behavioral patterns and values technology-aided communication (less face-to-face interaction, even the way families interact changes) Television, radio, newspapers, the Internet and film can also transmit values and norms and influence or shape attitudes.

7 SPEAKING TASK What inventions and discoveries have the greatest positive impact on our lives ?

8 FOR EXAMPLE the wheel (goods transported quickly, windmills & watermills) Penicillin (kills bacteria and has saved lots of lives) X-ray technology (to look inside the human body) the telephone (to communicate over long distances) the computer (to store lots of information, to type documents, to do calculation, access to the Internet, etc..) the internet (to access a huge quantity of information quickly) the plane (the quickest means of transport, both people and goods) etc..

9 What inventions and discoveries have the greatest positive impact on our lives? What do you think? Work in pairs.

10 Which invention can you not live without?
3. 1. 2. 4. 5. 6.

11 7.

12 What kinds of inventions and discoveries have caused the main environmental problems?

13 FOR EXAMPLE the nuclear bomb – as a weapon it can only cause destruction guns (chemical and biological weapons) - because they are used to kill people and animals plastic - because it pollutes the environment 8.

14 In your opinion, what kinds of inventions and discoveries have caused the main environmental problems? Work in pairs.

15 What kinds of products / inventions / discoveries are environmentally friendly? Work in pairs.

16 ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
Organic foods Recycled and recyclable materials (paper, wood, glass) Biodegradable materials (bio-gradable garbage bags) Natural cleaners (soda, vinegar or salt) Green cleaning detergents Eco-friendly means of transport (biking, walking, public transport) Wooden toys (not plastic) Rechargeable batteries CFL light bulbs (CF = compact fluorescent), etc..

17 What are the 3 most useless inventions according to you. Why
What are the 3 most useless inventions according to you? Why? Work in pairs.
