Science
is search for the profound knowledge. Scientists investigate the world
around us. They observe how things work and develop ideas about ways to
make them work better. Sometimes they try to test an idea to explain how
something works. Scientists perform experiments to find out how things
work. The knowledge that they discover is useful for many things. It can
help to build new machines. It can help scientists to develop new
medicines or cure a disease. Technology is the use of scientific
knowledge to create new things.
Then what is an Inventor?
An
inventor is a person who creates a new idea or device to perform a
task. An invention is the new technology created. An inventor with a new
idea or design for an invention may decide to have the idea protected.
The idea gets protection from the law in a paper called a patent. A
patent prevents other people from making, using, or selling the new idea
without permission from the inventor. Some inventions are simply a
better way of doing or building something. They may improve an existing
technology. Other inventions are much more complicated.
Today's
technology has been in the process of development for thousands of
years. New inventions are constantly changing how people work and play.
They change how people think and live. The future constantly brings us
even more changes. This will happen as we continue to learn about the
world.
