1. Science and Man
Science has touched the very life of man. No area of our life is unaffected by science’s
influence. We cannot ignore it. It has made its presence felt powerfully. Everywhere we

meet the miracles of science.
Science has changed our life completely. We cannot think of our life without it. It has
modernized everything, whether it is home or office or school or hospital, science is

there with its endless gifts. It is always in the service of the man. Science has made our
life full of comforts. Luxuries are not now very costly. They have been in abundance with
the help of science.
Every sphere of man’s life is influenced by science. Man cannot escape its indelible

imprint. The scooter he rides, the car he drives, the aeroplane he pilots, are all blessings
of science. Our means of amusement have undergone a sea-change because of the
innovations of science. Our very body is transformed into another world.

Science has been a great boon to man. The paper he reads, the book he enjoys, the
exercise book he writes on, are all valuable presents from science. The journey is now
very comfortable. The distance is not a problem. You can board a train, bus, metro, plane
and the destination is quick and near. What a great transformation !

With the advent of computers, science has brought a massive change in the lives of
people. Now, we can connect to people in any part of the world by just a click of button.
