The Impact of Science and Technology

 EXPLORING THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEYOND

  How did competition give way to cooperation in space? From the 1950s to the 1970s, the United States and Soviet Union took their Cold War rivalry to space. Each nation tried to be the first to reach the moon and beyond. In the 1970s, the two nations began to cooperate in space exploration. In 1975, United States and Soviet spacecraft docked, or joined together, in space. Later, American and Soviet space missions included scientists from other countries. In the late 1990s, the United States, Russia, and 14 other nations began working together to build the International Space Station. Some space missions did not include human crew members. Unmanned flights sent back pictures and information about other planets. In 1990, the United States and European countries sent the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit around the earth. This satellite sent back unprecedented images of objects in space.

 1. Give three examples of international cooperation in space. _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ 





 EXPANDING GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS (Pages 638–639) How has technology changed communications? Every day satellites are used to track the weather around the world. They are also used to search for minerals on the planet. Satellites allow television broadcasts to carry events live around the world. Another advance in technology has been the computer. Computers have become more powerful since they were first invented. At the same time, they have gotten smaller in size. Consumer goods such as microwave ovens, telephones, and cars often include computer chips to keep them running. Millions of people around the world use personal computers at work or at home. Many of these people are connected through the Internet, a worldwide computer network. The Internet allows people to get a great deal of information more quickly and easily than ever before. The Internet also allows people to communicate with one another. 

2. How have computers changed everyday living? ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ 


TRANSFORMING HUMAN LIFE (Pages 639–640) How has new technology changed medicine? New technology has changed medicine. Lasers allow doctors to perform surgery to fix problems in delicate areas, such as in the eye or the brain. New methods for making images of the body help doctors locate problems. Research into genes has helped unlock the secrets of some diseases. Genetic engineering enables scientists to use genes in new ways. For example, scientists can develop plants with special traits. Cloning is part of genetic engineering. It is the creation of identical copies of DNA. Cloning can be used to produce plants and animals that are identical to the existing plants and animals. The application of this new understanding of genes has led to many developments in agriculture. Scientists have made other advances in farming. In the green revolution, scientists have developed new strains of food crops to help farmers grow more food. 

3. Why is genetic engineering an important development? __________________________
