Technology is one of the most important aspects of our modern-day society. It is necessary to those who use technology to be successful in their lives. Unfortunately, some people are rather resistant to technology, which has created many barriers to entry into the technological world. The creation of new technologies often requires an incredible leap of faith for many people. Without technological change, many aspects of society will cease to exist.

There is a reason why the Wright Brothers piloted the first flight across the English Channel. They knew that they were going to break the sound barrier, but they also knew they had a very small engine with them that could not support much weight. They were not only risking their lives, but their entire human life upon which they relied for their very existence. Fortunately, they were not alone. Many other adventurous individuals throughout history made that flight across the Atlantic Ocean with no more than the physical tools that they had available.

As history continues to develop, the tools that people have become accustomed to using and the scientific knowledge that they have gained has led the way into outer space and the moon. The technological knowledge that we have developed has also made possible to travel across time and space, as well as the ability to send individuals back in time. One of the most amazing discoveries of recent times is the potential to jump to another planet in a capsule. This is a technology that is still in its early stages, but that may prove to be the key to sending people to Mars. While there is still much that needs to be done to learn how to put people on Mars, these exciting achievements are a remarkable milestone in technology.

As technology continues to improve, individuals will be able to solve more difficult problems. The discovery of the Higgs Boson provides us with a great example of how theoretical knowledge can give rise to very practical results. This is just one of the many theories that are being tested in the scientific world. When you have an understanding of how things work, you are in a better position to find creative solutions when problems arise.

Some of the other branches of knowledge are more directly related to the practical side of science. For instance, physics refers to the study of how matter is structured and how forces interact. Chemistry refers to the process by which various chemicals and substances interact. Those who are interested in these areas will find a lot to learn about them when they attend a college or technical school. All of the subjects, of course, have practical application and those who are not interested in those areas could benefit from a basic understanding of physics or chemistry.

Of course, it is impossible to talk about applied science and technology without mentioning the arts. Everyone is aware of the great contributions that the visual arts have made to society. They have also been crucial in making the most of the advances made in technology. Photography has provided people with the ability to take extremely detailed images of objects and scenes. Video production techniques have allowed even the smallest video cameras to capture action films that rival anything that a thousand dollar Hollywood blockbuster can produce. The visual arts have played a huge role in society since the beginning of recorded history.
