The positive impact of science and technology on human society is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
First of all, it promotes the rapid development of social productive forces and economic development. . Due to the use of science and technology, human beings have changed the traditional mode of production, modernized production technology and improved the automation level of production. It has low pollution, low consumption, low energy consumption and high technology content, which not only saves a lot of manpower and material resources, but also reduces production costs and improves product quality. For example, with the development of ironmaking technology, iron tools are used in agricultural production instead of stone tools; The use of mechanized agricultural machinery has replaced manual farm tools. Science and technology have injected vitality into the development of a society, just as a dead tree has grown new branches, which has helped its economic and cultural development get rid of recession and crisis and continue to maintain prosperity.
The second is to promote the improvement of people's lifestyle. First of all, people's material and spiritual and cultural living standards have been improved. The socialization of the use of scientific and technological products has become a landscape of modern social life. People's daily necessities are closely related to science and technology. Scientific and technological products have been gradually applied to all aspects of social life and become an indispensable part of modern human daily life. For example, modern means of transportation, such as airplanes, cars and ships, have greatly improved the running speed, which not only makes people feel comfortable during the journey, but also saves a lot of precious time; The use of high-tech household appliances such as TV, stereo, refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner meets the needs of life ... Secondly, it improves the health level of human beings. With the completion of human genetic engineering, scientists can treat many incurable diseases that can't be treated by conventional therapy, even incurable diseases that were thought to be incurable in the past with the help of high-tech drugs such as biological genetic engineering and genetic engineering. Treat diseases and improve people's health. Third, it greatly broadens human's vision and understanding of the material world. As the great teacher Engels pointed out: the growing industrial revolution destroyed all traditional relations, and this revolution in turn revolutionized ideas. Science and technology is the result of human understanding of the laws of nature and the highest achievement of human creative thinking. For example, the successful development of a large radio astronomical telescope can enable people to see billions of light-years or even more distant space, thus providing convenience for exploring the mysteries of space that humans do not know.
Third, it has promoted the reform and development of the social management system. The modern scientific revolution represented by high technology has further promoted the importance of scientific economic management and the reform of social management system to adapt to the rapid development of high technology. Science and technology are increasingly becoming organized socialized collective labor. The scale of some major high-tech R&D projects, the manpower and material resources mobilized and the capital and equipment invested are far beyond comparison. For example, the Manhattan project of the US President 1942 to develop an atomic bomb, the Polaris missile submarine project of 1957, and the Apollo moon landing project in the 1960s are all huge projects of national scale and even require international cooperation. With such a huge human and material resources, an organization needs effective allocation and orderly and coordinated operation of various resources, so as to give full play to its effectiveness and achieve the best results in the shortest time, which puts forward higher requirements for scientific organization and management.
Science and technology, like other things, can not only benefit mankind by promoting economic and social development, but also produce negative effects under certain conditions, bringing negative consequences to human survival and development. It has both positive and negative effects on human society. Only by pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages can people benefit mankind and avoid its harm. Generally speaking, the negative impact of science on society is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
The destructive influence of science and technology on the environment. Not to mention the great lethality of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs to human beings and the destructive power to the natural environment in nuclear war, that is, the environmental pollution caused by nuclear waste, abandoned old computers and space junk, and the soil hardening caused by the abuse of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture.
The negative impact of science and technology on human life safety. Insecticides used in grains, fruits and vegetables can kill insects, but they are also harmful to human body. Another example is nuclear technology, which can be used in peace building, power generation and medical treatment to benefit mankind, and can also be used in war to become nuclear weapons, causing devastating blows to mankind. The development of science and technology has promoted economic development, but it has brought "global problems" that endanger life on earth and human society.
The influence of science and technology on traditional culture. High-tech makes people's lifestyle more and more modern, and at the same time, it also makes many traditional folk crafts and cultures withdraw from the stage of public life, and even gradually disappear from social life, which is very unfavorable for the inheritance of human traditional excellent cultural heritage. In addition, there are many fakes on the market now, and some cultural relics are also "cloned" by technology.
Science and technology have also widened the gap between people and countries. Due to the popularization and application of high technology, this will lead to rising unemployment rate, prominent employment problems and social instability. It is difficult for people who do not master science and technology to find a foothold in this environment full of scientific and technological competition, while those who know related technologies can use science and technology to bring more wealth to themselves. According to relevant data, the per capita income of the richest and poorest people in the world was 30: 1 40 years ago, and now it is 74: 1. However, in recent years, many surveys show that the capital-intensive high-tech that once promoted the rapid development of North America, Europe, Japan and other developed countries and regions, once introduced by relatively poor developing countries, will not bring the expected economic benefits, but will produce many economic and social problems.
