industry
Science and technology is the primary productive force.
The progress of science and technology directly promotes the development of industry.
For example, aerospace technology promotes the development of aerospace industry，information technology drives the prosperity of information world, facilitating people's communication ability with marvelous blossom of industry.
agriculture
1. Scientific and technological innovation plays a fundamental role in promoting agricultural development.
A new worldwide revolution in agricultural science and technology is rising. With the further development of economic globalization, many countries have taken measures such as increasing investment, reforming system and organizing major scientific and technological actions to accelerate the progress and innovation of agricultural science and technology. In particular, biotechnology continues to make major breakthroughs and rapid industrialization. High and new technologies such as information technology and new materials are more and more widely used in agriculture.
2. Science and technology can improve the utilization rate of agricultural resources and reduce the cost of agricultural production.
For example, in animal husbandry, especially chicken farming has entered the stage of industrialized continuous production. The closed chicken house with automatic control of microclimate is a new development of animal husbandry machinery.
4. High tech irrigation equipment can improve the utilization rate of water resources.
In view of the prominent problems such as shortage of water resources, low utilization rate, waste and serious water pollution in China, agricultural efficient water use technologies and equipment in line with China's national conditions, especially water-saving irrigation technologies and equipment, such as automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment, are widely used.
The development of science and technology can solve the problem of people's food and clothing and ensure national food security, and set a monument to world peace and social progress.
Yuan Longping is a pioneer and leader in the field of hybrid rice research. He is committed to the research of hybrid rice,with the technical achievements of super hybrid rice, the research of hybrid rice in China has always been at the leading level in the world.
transport
continuously improve the efficiency of transportation
underground-system(metro)(Zhengzhou):convenient，spare lots of time，efficient,
strengthen the efficiency of traffic management
traffic jam is decreasing
The application of computer makes reasonable planning and design for each traffic flow direction
Make the traffic economic growth more reasonable
health: medical advances / improvements in healthcare services/ diseases that were incurable a century ago can be cured now
fun: have more entertainment choices
safety: rising crime rates
environment: global warming / air pollution
health: higher stress levels/ lack exercise/ the increasing rates of heart and high blood pressure...
finance: the growing gap between the rich and the poor
culture: the disappearing traditions and customs
2. 语言在减少，一些人认为世界上有更少的语言会更好，你的看法？
efficiency : remove the language barrier
employment: more job opportunities for minority language speakers
finance: reduce government spending in providing people language service
culture : reduce cultural diversity/ many traditions to disappear
fun: isolation for people who lose their native language
3. Do advantages of charging people for admission fee to museums outweigh the disadvantages?
finance: reduce the burden on taxpayers
fun: increase collections to make museums more fun
employment: improve museums' service and create job opportunities
finance: discourage the low-income families to visit them
rights: taxpayers may feel it unfair to pay for local museums
the proposal of London mayor: change free admission into voluntary museum admission fees
