What is technology technology

Information communication technology

Today’s civilization is development and upgraded through the contribution of science. Globalization has also made the world more communicable. But information communication technology has leaded the world to the highest pinnacle of success.

Any country can be developed from all hands if information communication technology system is adopted as early as possible.

The advancement of information communication Technology make the vast treasure of al forms of knowledge, information, inventions, methodologies, techniques, process and technology from the entire globe available to us by accessing via internet. It is hopeful for us that information Technology has already made inroads into our society, indeed into our psyche. For all its economic backwardness, Bangladesh has easily taken to the IT world.

Definition of information communication Technology: Information communication Technology means the generation of contents, processing, manipulation, storage, routing transmission, switching packaging and usage of information to assists our day to day business. Faster processor like Pentium-4, smarter software packages, high speed transmission and routing capabilities with submarine cable for example, help us to take the optimum benefit from this `Global ocean of knowledge` that matches our everyday needs. The knowledge from all the global sources is stored and continuously updated in thousands of services which are interconnected via a network with very high speed transmission and switching capabilities called internet.

Present condition of ICT in Bangladesh: The use of computer started in Bangladesh in 1964. Computers began to be used commercially from mid 1980s and since then it has come to a long way and the last few years in particular have witnessed tremendous advancement the use of computers. Due to government incentives like exemption of duties on import of computers and their accessories, a vibrant hardware market has developed in Bangladesh and the prices of hardware have come down substantially over the last few years.

Role of ICT in national development: In this world of globalization and IT revolution, a nation’s proper access to information communication Technology is a must for national development because, ICT can help us in many ways as-

1. Employment through exporting ITES: Having a good pool of smart programmers and a large English speaking engineering population in Bangladesh, there is a definite potentiality for Bangladesh to make some headway in the global ITES market, which is dominated by India at this time. But it is a ling way to go before Bangladesh can make a substantial inroad in that market. The most potential market segments are in: data processing, medical transcription, animation, call center, business processing and software development.
2. Role of ICT in Rural Health Care: The use of ICT may provide our rural poor population with quality health care services. It will make them able to get proper treatment through Telemedicine. This distant consulting through Telemedical network facility saves the life of the baby and the mother.                                              

Domestic productivity improvement: By using ICT, we can design a number of domestic services. Here are some more examples:

1.      Decision making process by each agency and ministry of the government can be aided with ICT.

2.      The application of ICT in the very process of government may bring transparency.

3.      By using ICT, we can develop a simple and effective tax collection system of NBR.

4.      Use of ICT can make our banking sector speedier, transparent and service oriented.

5.      Use of ICT in our education sector is also important for our national development.

6.      By computerizing we can bring discipline on the street and earn good amount of revenues from the vehicle owners even to manage the traffic police and maintain the roads.

7.      The ICT may be used in our manufacturing sector. It may provide us with higher productivity and lower cost and effective international marketing.                   

Measures to be taken:

1. Create capacity building: The inventive capacity enables a nation to develop, assimilate and adopt new knowledge for innovative use and development of IT for wealth creation. Bangladesh should look into the development of such capacity by forming partnership with industry and academy within a well strategy plan.
2. Modern capacity building: Innovation capacity should be created to apply new knowledge in the form of new products services. Mechanism should be created for financing, protecting intellectual property, transferring new knowledge to industry managing innovation and doing marketing research.
3. Entrepreneurial capacity: For consumers capacity building support should be made available in the form of managerial knowledge, risk capital, business contacts and physical facilities. Risks of starting hi-tech ventures should be managed. Therefore, adequate safety net should be developed to encourage potential entrepreneurs.  
4. A targeted integration among different branches of knowledge should be made.

We see huge potentiality of domestic ICT for the significant improvement of economic productivity of Bangladesh in the production of goods and services both in government and private sector. Bangladesh can build a strong internal backbone of fiber optic network to enhance communication for voice and data.                  

Importance of radio

Radio is one of the greatest scientific inventions of modern science. It is an easy means of communication and entertainment. It performs its function without wires or without any connection between the stations. It is a medium which sends messages, song, talk etc through the space with the help of electric waves.

How the system works: The radio works in an excellent way. When a word is uttered, some vibrations are produced in the air. These vibrations are known as sound waves. The uttered sound in the broadcasting station can be heard from all places. But there must have receiving sets. The broadcasting station amplifies the vibrations. The receiving sets catch the sound of broadcast. The produced vibration needs some energy for the productions. Electricity provides this energy. In every receiving set, there is a battery charged with electricity. The valve set requires loud speakers.

Uses: The radio has many uses. It broadcasts different types of programmes. It broadcasts educational programme, quotation of prices for the business man, news, songs for the music lovers, sports ceremony, weather forecast etc. It can make people aware about various diseases, family planning, sanitation etc. The fisher in the sea gets the weather news in advance and return safely. It helps the authority of airport to take the right decision.

Impact on the rural Bangladesh: The radio has a great impact on the rural Bangladesh. It has become a kind of companion medium in Bangladesh. It has broken the wall between the literate and the literate. It plays a vital role in educating the common people. Besides, the villagers can learn a lot listing to a radio.

The radio has brought about a remarkable change inhuman life. It has become a companion to the lonely people and friend to the friendless.      

Importance of electricity

Electricity is contribution of science to the modern civilization. Every thing is revived and conducted by electricity. Mans life is more comfortable by dint of electricity.

The important of electricity can not be ignored in our practical life.

We live in an age of science. It has left no sector unblessed. Apart from radio it has contributed everywhere. We can not but admit its blessing under the sun.

Its history: The greatest scientific achievement of the nineteenth century is the invention of electricity. Electricity is making use of the twentieth century so extensively that it has almost changed the face of the earth. Light and power is the carrier of electricity, devourer of time and space, bearer of human speech over land and sea, is the greatest servant of man, though it itself is unknown. Lenin saw Russia’s Hydro-electrical potentialities. The application of electricity to industry and agriculture was Lenin’s dream. In Bangladesh we have staked our whole future on a rapid growth of our hydro-electric project at Kaptai. The modern age is the age of machinery. The true objective of substituting human labour by mechanical labour is to find greater leisure for man. Machines must be driven by natural power.

Importance: We can not deny its contribution or blessings in a modern city. Electricity regulates the clock that rouses us from bed; boils the water that makes our tea; cooks our food on heat-proof cooking ranges or cookers; works the radio and TV that tell us the news rings the bell that announces a visitor, conveys us to our offices in luxurious vehicles and trains; carries our telegraphic message to distant places; takes us to our room some where in some multi-strayed building on elevators; refrigerates the food to keep it completely fresh; enlightens our rooms when the sun goes down; warms it in winter and cools it in summer; in short, does everything for our comfort and convenience with the utmost efficiency at all hours.

The use of electricity: Electricity has become a very good use to our day to day life. We can not enjoy even a second without electricity. Mills, factories and big industries are run by

electricity. Heavy loads are carried away or set with the help of electricity. Had there been no invention of electricity, industrial development would not have been made possible.

Caution: Electricity causes accident. An unguarded and uncared moment causes a serious accident. Men and animals are seen being electrified. Electricity is a blessing of science. Present world remains stagnant without it. People should be cautions about it.

The development of the country can be brought by generating electricity on a large scale. The carious multipurpose schemes which we are running at such a heavy cost over the years are for the production of large-scale electricity. But most of our electricity was based on coal; the total out put was lamentable low.  

Contribution Of Muslims In Science

There are wonderful contributions of Muslims in various off shoot of science. There is no denying fact that there are advance contributions developing science and technology.

Contribution of chemistry: Al-chemy has made a commendable deed in special branch of science as chemistry among Muslims scientist. Muslims scientist Jabir Ibne Hyean is also considered as one of the best chemist in the world. He was not only expert in chemistry but also commanded well in various branches of science. Regarding science he had composed more than 2000 books. He was the pioneer of all modern scientists. World famous chemist Jabir invented various kinds of chemical process. He had a good command of knowledge how to syntheses from marquisate to constant writing ink, Manganese di-oxide to glass. He had also showed us peculiar material change citric acid, arsenic, antimony, silver nitrate, cupric chloride.

Contribution of medical science: In medical science contribution of Muslims are immemorial. Among them Abu-Bokur-Al-Raji, Ibne Sina, Hasan Ibne Hysam, Abul Kashem Jaha Rabi, Ali-Tabari are noteable.

Abu-Bokur-Al-Raji: Abu-Bokur-Al-Raji was one of the prominent person in sergeant therapy. He could make operation more efficiently than Greeks. He had composed more than 200 books. He had also composed book named Al-Judari Oal Hasba that was written about small-pox and measles. These books were so fundamental that no other people could not contributes such deed before in Christ. Kithabul Mansuri-10 was his immemorial among his deed.

Ibne Sina: Ibne Sina was world famous physician and philosopher. He is considered as the pioneer of method of medical science and medical sergeant. Kanoon Fit Tibb is a visible cut of medical history. No other books are as equivalent as it. It is called in Bible of medical science.

Hasan Ibne Hysam: He was renowned for his philosophy, astrology and mathematics. Kitubal Manajir gave him huge respect. Roser Becon, New Lardy, Kepler demonstrated there research by depending his books. He invented magnify glass that is inevitable for science. Though Sir-I-Jac Newton seems to be a founder of gravity, Ibne Hysam was first inventor of it no doubt.                     

Science and modern warfare

 Science is a boon to human civilization. Modern warfare created by science is not a boon to human civilization. Modern warfare is destroying human habitats more than it did in the past.

Main sentence:  Modern warfare produced by science is a risky concern for the destruction of human civilization.

Science is a result of a long term research of the scientists. It is at the root of any invention. War is a science of destruction. Hence it seems a relation like the tree and its bark between the two.

A revolutionary technique: There are many who speak that science was answerable for war, as though in the absence of scientific sense. Man fought fiercely with fists and cudgels and swords and axes when they had not mastered the technique of science. War is unavoidable because of the aggressive psyche of man. What science has done is to change the nature or front of warfare.

Motor-vehicles and weapons: The invention of motorized vehicles was a revolutionary step. Formerly men went to the battle field on foot or on horse-back or on elephants. Now they go in panzer cars. In order to make these cars operate on all kinds of plat, tanks were invented. This resulted in the creation of various kinds of high explosives and remote controllers, (RDX) which could smash the tanks with continuous firing with smoke screens, frontal attack is rendered almost suicidal.

New dimensions: By inventing the aircrafts, science has introduced a new factor in modern war. A new dimension has been added to modern warfare with the role of missiles, ground-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles were largely used in the Gulf war of 1991, to crush Iraq’s war machinery. I future such missiles will carry the atomic bomb to delver the devastating attack. Thus science has now become the handmaid of warlords. Modern warfare is nothing but destructive.

Submarines: Science has aided naval war by the invention of submarines and magnetic mines and aircraft carriers which made free passage of ships across the risky seas. And then the scientists have invented aeroplanes operated and directed by wireless. That soon mechanical robots will replace soldiers on the battle-field is not as fantastic as it once seemed.     

Atomic bombs: The last Great War was brought to an end by two atomic bombs that practically wiped out existence of two Japanese cities – Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now we hear of deadlier weapons – the hydrogen bomb and the G-gas. Nations are competing with one another in inventing weapons of destruction; even biological weapons of germs are being made by Pentagon.            

Synthetic products: But war certainly stimulates the all round progress of science. New and swift processes of manufacture are discovered by science. Machines of the greatest power and efficiency are invented of science. This has led to the manufacture of synthetic products on a large-scale. Synthetic rubber and artificial silk are manufactured in huge quantities; sugar is extracted from starch, oil for engines from coal. Along with the use of impetus, plastic is given by war to the science of medicine. The last Great War put an operative surgery on a new footing. New medicines and modes of treatment of singular efficiency have been discovered. Penicillin, the antibiotic (wonder-drug) was discovered in course of the last war. Medical science has proved to be a very great blessing for man kind with other forms of sulfur drugs. Transplantation of mortal kidney, heart and other component has opened up new vistas for surgery. War stimulates researches into the problem of food and nutrition, to prevent the shortage of food. 

Science and religion

 Science and religion are two different concerns. Science is a practical concern of developmental process but religion is one kind of belief in doxology. Man owes to science and man thinks that he should be directed by religion.

Theses subject: Science and religion both are needful to take the real taste of our practical life. 

We live in an age of science. But religion is the belier in higher unseen controlling power. They have a reciprocal relation. Science is the most in formidable truth in human history. Perhaps, this is the most obvious reason some people would like to prove the authenticity of religion by illustrating scientific theories which are other wise completely incompatible with relation. 

Science and religion: Science deals with the material world that we know. Religion is concerned with a divine order that we imagine. Science depends on reason, religion on institution. The scientist bases himself on material facts; religion takes its stand on spiritual ideas. The scientist works in the laboratory of the material world; the religion teacher probes into the recesses of the inward mind. The goal of science is achievement and that of religion is realization.

Basis of civilization: Modern civilization is based on science. In every sphere of modern life, science is an inevitable reality. It is beyond one’s imagination how many people are now-a-days under the influence of science and technology. In material world we can not remain isolated for a moment from science. But men have to lead a spiritual life in addition to their material lives. To a human being nothing is as true as death. We do not know where we have come from and where shall have to go.

History of theology: Scientific theories do not have any paradox, or any contradiction. Unlike the philosophy of science religion is divided into thousand ways of faiths, based on millions of different roots. The history of theology talks about monotheistic religions. All old relations including the Hinduism preached in their prime of many fids and goddesses. But at present almost all religions preach the oneness of God. The repercussions of science such as threat to global warming, depletion in ozone layer etc. and modern lethal arsenals such as nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, ballistic missiles etc. can be dead by science itself. The degeneration of these curses of science can be prevented by more scientific researches. Religion brought peace in human souls which are, however, pathetically vulnerable to the fears of death and other mysteries of life.

 Man’s beliefs: It had to be admitted that man believes in religion absolutely. It would be impossible for him to take the material world seriously and life would cease to function. Fortunately, a compromise is made; man pays a lip service to religion and God, and then gives himself up to worldly things. This leads him to practice unconsciously a whole series of fraudulence. He lives a kind of double life. He condemns worldly goods and devotes himself to accumulate riches. He preaches love and goes on making wars. He believes in immortality, yet continues to regard death as evil. His relation teaches him to worship God within himself, yet he makes a display of it.

Fundamental opposition: Science and religion seem to go on side by side but there is a fundamental opposition between science and religion. Religion would be sought by men as long as there remains a felling of helplessness before the uncertainty of an incalculable future. In his adversity, man feels the necessity of turning to something for some sorts of help and solace. Hence science and religion will maintain their paralleled courses which, however, will never coverage.    

At present religion supports scientific developments. In Europe churches executed many researchers and scientists. There are other stories of science and religion together. A lot of books have been written to amalgamate science and religion. 

Quran is a modern science which has proved by Dr. Zakir Naik. Not only Naik but also scientist has proved that Quran is a Science. So, Quran and Science both are similar.  

Wonders Of Modern Science

Man always wants to live a better life. He wants better food, clothing and dwelling. He also like comfort and entertainment. Science helps man to attain these. As a result, science has developed greatly. Today we are living in an age of science. Day and night, we make use of innumerable discovers and invention of science. 

Electricity: Electricity is the great power behind many scientific inventions. The electric lamp lights up our houses. Radio, television, telegraph, telephone, cinema, tape-recorder, photo-copier, VCR, computers, and most of the mills and factories are run by electricity. There are also electric trains, printing presses, cookers, irons, fans, sewing machines etc. run by electricity.

Communication: Science has conquered space and time. We can go from one place to another in a very short time by train, steamer, plane or rocket. Previously people took years to go from one containment to another. But now a days we take only hours. We have reached the moon. We can now sent message at a great distance in the fraction of a second. We can talk to anybody in any part of the world by telephone. Radio brings songs, music, news, discussions etc. Television brings pictures also even in colour. By Fax, any writing or picture can be sent over great distance very easily. We can do today in hours what was done in days or months before.        

Industry: Spinning of yarn, weaving of cloth and sewing of clothes can be done at a great speed. Food processing, house-building, constructing roads and bridges can be done very quickly. Millions of pages can be printed or reproduced in a short time. A calculator can solve a complicated sum in no time.

Medical science: Science has found out the causes of most of the diseases and has discovered many remedies. A deadly disease like TB has been conquered. Cholera has also been brought under control. Small pox has been eliminated. The X-ray and the anti-biotic have been very helpful to man. Cornea transplant, by-pass Surgery etc. are marvels of medical science.

Agriculture: Science has increased food production greatly. If we can apply the scientific methods properly there will be no hunger in the world. Tractors, power-pumps, fertilizers, high-yielding varieties of crops and irrigation techniques have revolutionized agriculture.

But science is not an unmixed blessing. Science has also invented guns, bombs, and missiles, battleships and war planes, chemical weapons and nuclear war heads. It has brought in environmental pollution. We should stop the misuse of science to get its real benefits.
