science and technology

Science and technology are the means by which humans control their environment. These terms cover an enormous wealth of information in the blogosphere. From innovations to explanations, blogs in this category strive to provide accurate and insightful news on our ever changing world in both science and technology. Examples of science and technology subjects include, but certainly aren't limited to, computers, robotics, chemistry, physics, medicine, and astronomy. This is a world of fact and exploration, where there is no room for gossip or rumor, and where even opinions are held to a higher standard.

Blogs that cover this broad subject matter include sites that teach people to use technology to make things, sites that profile Internet innovation, sites that deal with science and technology as they relate to our environment, and sites that look at how technology intersects with other areas of life.

It is also important for societies to give careful consideration to the ethical implications of scientific and technological developments.
