These readings really made me realize how much our society is dominated by science. It’s crazy to think that almost everything we do in same way involves science. I honestly don’t know how people lived before all the technology we have today. No idea what I would do without a computer or a cell phone(GASP!). I think it is a good thing we are so reliant on science because it has some amazing benefits. Diseases nobody ever thought could be stop are now gone and others are on the way. I also think the atomic bomb being invited was a positive thing. Yes, it killed many innocent people, but who knows what would have happened to America during that time if we didn’t supress the Japanese. There is definitely a down side to be so dependent on technology though. Einstein talks about religion and science and the way I understood it, he thinks that religion and science can coexist. I personally don’t think that happens very well. There was a recent report in which less people consider themselves religious and I think that is because we are such a scientific society, but just my opinion.
