Science studies the physical world, that is, properties and behaviour of different objects. Scientists do it by asking questions "what" and "why". For example, they ask: "What is lightning?", "Why does it happen?", "How does lightning work?" These questions help scientists to find explanation to natural facts and processes.
Technology is the use of science for practical purposes and it is also all those methods, machines and tools that are used in doing things in a science or profession. Engineers and inventors use scientific discoveries to design and build new things. Technology asks and answers "how" questions.
Science and technology are interdependent - without new scientific discoveries there will be no new products, and at the same time, without new instruments and devices there will be no scientific discoveries.
ransport has always played an important role in people’s life. It’s a way of travelling from one place to another. Modern transportation system is rather well developed thanks to rapid scientific and technological progress. There are lots of busses, mini-vans, taxis, personal cars, bicycles, trains, airplanes, even ships and ferries in every developed country. However, a couple of centuries ago, there were only carts carried by horses and old-fashioned boats. Perhaps, the oldest type of transport is the water one. People constructed primitive boats for river navigation since the stone ages. The first land transport was presented by the carriages, which were later carried by domestic animals. The first animal-drawn vehicles were traced in Europe in the 4th millennium BC. Rail transport appeared much later, to be precise nearly 500 years ago. Modern railroad was introduced in the 19th century England. Aviation had several forms throughout the history. If we speak about the kites, they appeared in ancient China around before 200 BC. Then, there were the hot air balloons invented in the 18th century. The first aircraft flight was made by the Wright brothers at the very beginning of the 20th century. Perhaps, the discoveries made in the field of transportation in the 20th century were the most important. Thus, in 1961 the first human spaceflight was launched. In 1969, the first astronaut stepped on the Moon. Nobody knows exactly where else is scientific progress taking us, but it’s most likely that soon we will travel by spaceships more often. перевод Транспорт всегда играл важную роль в жизни людей. Это путешествия из одного места в другое. Современная транспортная система достаточно хорошо развита, благодаря быстрому научно-техническому прогрессу. В каждой развитой стране множество автобусов, маршруток, такси, личных автомобилей, велосипедов, поездов, самолетов, даже кораблей и паромов. Однако, всего лишь пару веков тому назад, были только тележки, перевозимые лошадьми и старомодные лодки. Возможно, самый старый вид транспорта - это водный. Еще в каменный век люди строили примитивные лодки для речного судоходства. Первый наземный транспорт был представлен повозками, которые позже перевозились домашними животными. Первый гужевой транспорт появился в Европе в 4-м тысячелетии до нашей эры. Железнодорожный транспорт появился гораздо позже, если быть точным почти 500 лет назад. Современная железная дорога была введена в Англии в 19-м веке. На протяжении всей истории у авиации было множество форм. Если говорить о воздушных змеях, то они появились в древнем Китае около 200 года до нашей эры. Затем, появились воздушные шары, изобретенные в 18-м веке. Первый полет самолета был сделан братьями Райт в самом начале 20-го века. Возможно, открытия, сделанные в области транспорта в 20-м веке, были самыми важными. Например, в 1961 году произошел первый полет человека в космос. В 1969 году, первый космонавт ступил на Луну. Никто точно не знает, куда еще нас выведет научно-технический прогресс, но есть вероятность, что вскоре мы будем чаще путешествовать на космических кораблях.
