Differentiate science and technlogy?

Question

science

Answer 1

Science is the pursuit of knowledge.

Technology is the use of knowledge to create tools/instruments/machinery/whatever (or the tools/instruments/whatever themselves)

Answer 2

technology is the application of science

Answer 3

Although different from each other, Science and Technology go hand-in-hand, and in this particular explanation, Science is the egg, and Technology is the Chicken if you believe that the egg came first.  I can't tell you where the egg came from, other than the fact that Creation and Evolution seem to be intertwined.  Science can broadly be defined as the study of "things" such as:  Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Genetics, Geology, Psychology, Sociology, and other fields of study that analyze interactions, behaviors, physical properties, effects, causes, etc. in order to rationalize or establish given properties, behaviors and interactions about such "things".  In Science class, the basis of Science is the conducting of experiments.  Basically, a theory is made (stated), analysis and testing are performed with the use of various controls, and when a specific, measurable result occurs, and can be reproduced or proven time and time again, the theory then becomes Scientific law, or a truism of sorts (I am trying to be general in order to represent all the fields).  

Technology, refers generally to items of use, created from "Applied Science".  A good example of this is the production of Solar panels.  Solar Panels are used in a variety of different technologies, but the simplest example is a Solar Powered Calculator.  It was proposed long ago that the Sun emits 2 types of energy, heat energy and light energy.  The Sun's heat energy is what warms the Earth's atmosphere so that life as we know it can exist, by warming the atmosphere to a tolerable temperature that the Human Body can function in.  (Space is somewhere around -230 degrees Farenheit, and at those temperatures, plants could not grow, and the Human body would not be able to carry on normal functions such as breathing in that cold of temperature.)  The sun's light energy is absorbed by Solar Panels (and Solar Cells), and converts that energy to electricity so that the calculator can perform mathematical functions.  To test this, put a piece of electrical tape over the solar panel on a solar calculator for 15 minutes, and then see if you can turn it on.  If you can't then you know the light energy is being converted to electricity.  

In brief:  Science is the study of forces and interactions between different "things", both animate and inanimate.  Technology can be referred to as things which we make, but were developed by applying Scientific law, knowing what such "things" are capable of doing.

Answer 4

Science is systematic and formulated knowledge based on experiment and observation.

Technology is the scientific study of industrial and mechanical arts.
