This is the age of science. Science has given us many useful and wonderful things. Indeed, Scientific discoveries have changed our lives. They have lengthened our lives and have made them healthier and more comfortable. But this is only one side- a bright side of scientific discoveries. Science has also a dark side. So, science is undoubtedly, a boon as well as a curse to human society.
Now, is is up to us how we use the gifts of science. Scientific discoveries are not bad in themselves. They are for the good and benevolence of humanity and there can be no denial that they have made our lives very superior. Science has enabled everybody to fly in the sky as gods did in their 'bimans'. Modern bombs and missiles are no less powerful than the 'dibyastras' of gods. Modern medicines and new as well as advanced technology of treatment have made our lives longer and healthier. Radio, television, elcetricity, Solar power buses, cars and such countless things of our everyday needs have made our lives more comfortable. On the other hand, Science has invented such destructive weapons that the whole world can be reduced to ashes in a few minutes. Millions of people were killed and thousands of people were injured in the last two world wars and other different wars. The sea wars also made the environment polluted and spread new diseases. So, science has proved to be a curse, too. But, we should take a lesson from the past and should not misuse scientific discoveries. Then they will work as a boon for us.
Indeed, Science is a Boon as well as a Curse.
