SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS ARE TRULY BLESSINGS

Science, wonderful and blessed science - the very core of life today. Just look around you. Everything you see is one way or another related to science. Even this magazine is printed with the aid of scientific inventions.

Just pause and think, is there anything at all in this world today that is not touched is one way or another ? We are blessed with scientific inventions which we have taken for granted. The invention of the electric bulbs has literally brought man out of the Age of Darkness. Man can almost play God nowadays. With the flick of the switch, there will light.

Now, lets have a look at inventions in medical science. How would you like the dentist to drill into your tooth or to have your appendix taken out without anaesthetics ? It's simply suicide isn't it. Eat all the hawker food you want after your Hepatitis jab. And you can still look dreamily into your lovers eyes without squirting in short sightedness by wearing the invisible contact lens.

We see revolutionary inventions in modern rapid communication and transportation. We have come a long way from the days of smoke signals and jungle drums. We can hardly function without the telephone - everything is just a dial away - may it be a Pizza or your very own Pia Zadora. For the ultimate in communication convenience, there is of course, the fashionable hand-phone. Multi-million dollars deals are made across the oceans from the palm of a hand.

How do most of you get to school ? Walk ? Hardly ! Maybe a few steps from your house to your car or even a few more steps to your nearest bus-stop. The invention of the auto-mobile has done a lot of the walking for us. We get to places further apart in shorter time because of modern rapid forms of transportation. I hope by 2020 Malacca would be blessed with our own MRT.

Scientific inventions touch our lives at work and at play.

It's more fun to be a housewife nowadays compared to your mother's time, isn't it ? You could cook a meal in half the time and with half the effort in your microwave oven for your dear ones, while the washing machine takes over your washing,. Isn't it a blessing to be born a housewife in the 20th century ? Almost every possible household chores can be lightened with the touch of the finger.

What does sciences have to contribute to play ? You can now dance to your favourite rap, hands-free with the micro-technology of Walk-man. You can also run more miles with less strain in lighter, stronger and more comfy footwear. You can have instant style and instant smile captured in instant polaroid cameras.

Let me end this with a simple rhyme:

SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS,
ARE TRULY BLESSINGS,
IT HAS ITS MAKINGS,
IN HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.
