Science in my everyday life.
Science is an important aspect of every person’s life in America, but few people really take the time to think about it. Most people go through their entire day without ever giving their interaction with science a second thought.But if people took the time to consider how science touches our lives, they would be amazed and have more respect for the processes. I know that in my own life, science directly effects my life from the time I get up in the morning until I go bed at night.
Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is reach for my iPhone and check my Facebook page and my Twitter page. I have family in Colombia and this is really the only way we have to keep in touch on a regular basis.Accessing social networks like these is a quick and convenient way for me feel like I am still apart of my family even when are thousands of miles away.The iPhone really is a miracle.I truly take it for grated. But the science behind it must be respected.
One aspect of the iPhone’s unique design, is the touch screen. Before touch screens, consumers would have to mash tiny physical keys as though they were typing on a keyboard. This got old, very quickly! Steve Jobs and the other geniuses at Apple, decided there had to be a better way. Thus, the touch screen was born. The screen works by “sensing” movement along an axis or coordinate system. This system has many points so it can detect each movement. The screen senses the touch and sends the signal to the to the phone’s processor. (Wilson 3). So whether I am trying to find a friend’s house or read a review on Yelp, I can count on my iPhone and it’s touch screen to make the job easier.
Getting to school would be nearly impossible with out my car.I live ten miles away from campus and would have to leave very early in the morning if I was going to walk.There’s no way I could walk that far, so, no car, no school, no education.The mechanical technology under the hood is the result of very basic science in action. The combustion engine is essentially like a stomach taking in food, in this case, gasoline. Small explosions occur as the fuel and the air are ignited by the spark plugs.These explosions make the cylinders move.One part connects to another until the wheels start turning.So I should probably add, no science, no car, no school, no education!
Finally I encounter science near the end of the day when I come home and enjoy some DVRed soccer matches on TV.I am a huge fan of Los Cafeterios, the national team of Colombia, and the only way I could ever watch one of they’re matches without going there is to watch them on satellite.The satellite brings the game to my home in Monrovia and the DVR records it. These two pieces of technology make my life a lot more entertaining, but I know I take them for grated.The way the signal travels into space and into the my home, and then gets record is kind of like a miracle.But the true miracle is science.
Technology is the natural result of science.But we rarely ever connect the science to the many pieces of wonderful technology that weuse everyday.These things must seem like magic, but in reality, they are outcomes of a process of exploring our curiosity.
