   THE TRUE SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE OF INDIA Science is grounded on the principle of reproducibility of results. The claims of advanced science and technology in the ancient world are based on some references in ancient scripts that may be wholly imaginary. Flying, for instance, has caught humankind’s imagination across cultures right from ancient times. Such references should be taken for the myths they are, not as scientific facts. Scientists have been able to create animal chimeras that have cells/organs of different species, much as what Greek mythology describes. Should the Greeks then be taken as pioneers in the science of chimera production? Thanks to our understanding of genetics and the ability to fertilise eggs outside the body, producing designer babies is no longer in the realm of science fiction. Should the creators of the science fiction then be credited with devising the procedures? Compare this with how Sir Arthur C. Clarke documented his idea of communications satellites i

       MEANING OF TECHNOLOGY AND ITS USE Related Terms The purposeful application of information in the design, production, and utilization of goods and services, and in the organization of human activities. Technology can be described in the following ways: Tangible : blueprints, models, operating manuals, prototypes. Intangible: consultancy, problem-solving, and training methods. High: entirely or almost entirely automated and intelligent technology that manipulates ever finer matter and ever powerful forces. Intermediate: semiautomated partially intelligent technology that manipulates refined matter and medium level forces. Low: labor-intensive technology that manipulates only coarse or gross matter and weaker forces.  1.Hydroelectricity   or  hydroelectric  power is the electricity obtained by harnessing the power of water flowing down from a high level. It is a timeless and renewable resource. Huge generators convert the potential energy of falling or fast moving water into el
