As We May Think Reading response

For this assignment I read the “As We May Think” article written by Vannevar Bush. He writes that how science help us out with our ever day lives. Knowing in the beginning of every invention was sometimes made by accident by scientists or a citizen to help humanity with curing diseases, helping with our menial task, and creating entertainment. Back in the day science was treated like it was the devil’s work, but until Da Vinci time they used science in war building machinery to conquer land and till this day we’re still abusing it creating weapons to massacre each other. This article really intrigue me about how science evolved over the years of man and how sometimes it was use to help us then making mountain of dead bodies. Today’s science is now focusing to create cures of diseases that we have currently flowing around, vehicles that don’t need gas anymore hopefully, and what we care about the most are essential technology, which are phones, Ipod’s, gaming system, etc. these are things we mostly care about in today’s world. Going back on World War 2 if that didn’t happen a certain German person who’s name escapes me is responsible of making the first video game Pong never left his country and came here to America to escape his dictator leader I believed we wouldn’t have video games. Reason that I brought that up is because war sometimes gives scientist or citizen’s inspiration to create things that later we might use in our live. Overall science is good in our lives without it we will be still in the 1800s and use religion for every kind of thing that happens.
