From here on out, to fulfill the number of posts we are required to put up, I shall be dividing my thoughts on each reading per post.
Beginning with Bush and his inferential article, I am led to believe that Science did not only “improve our lives”, but also opened the world to the wider community we live in, instead of the self-centered universes one was inclined to be content with in the past. Ultimately, Science enhanced communications beyond our personal circles of close friends and family, to what we now know as globalisation. It is simply, the thought that what I myself am writing, as of this moment, could be read half way around the world…as long as there is internet access, of course.
The writer also comments on how specialisation in Science found itself to having work not receiving its proper commendations. Many essential research are left abandoned, with no appropriate evaluation and unused. He criticises our reviewing methods as at the same level as many years ago, positively “medieval”. On the other hand, Bush suggests that what causes the advancement of our society today, is our access to resources (implemented by globalisation I assume), with basis on historical inventions close to modern technology that failed because of a lack in resource.
Our “modern” society continues to evolve, with methods of recording in the forefront and the transformation of new age photography.
