Science and Technology Interactions

The video explores the relationship between science, technology, and society (STS). It defines science as a systematic body of knowledge about the natural world and technology as the application of scientific knowledge to solve problems. Society is described as an organized group of people. The video discusses how these three elements influence each other, with science driving technological advancements and society shaping scientific research. It emphasizes the importance of understanding STS to address societal challenges influenced by technology, human values, and political decisions.
