A brief commentary on science and technology.

There's a very precise difference between Science and Technology which is the difference between theoretical knowledge and practical use. This is as simple as the fact that science is no more that the study of, meaning it's just the exercise of getting to know a subject, of exploring it and finding new things about it. On the other hand, technology goes as far as to be the application of, the practical side of it; scientific knowledge is taken and applied to the real world, it's made usable and available, that's the essence of technology.
