The Roles of Science and Technology

1. alter the way people live, connect, communicate and transact, with profound effects on economic development; 2. key drivers to development, because technological and scientific revolutions underpin economic advances, improvements in health systems, education and infrastructure; 3. The technological revolutions of the 21st century are emerging from entirely new sectors, based on micro-processors, tele-communications, bio-technology and nano-technology. 4. have the power to better the lives of poor people in developing countries 5. differentiators between countries that are able to tackle poverty effectively by growing and developing their economies, and those that are not. 6. engine of growth 7. interventions for cognitive enhancement, proton cancer therapy and genetic engineering
