There was a story of a woman who lost her husband and six children and was also stoned to death by the villagers after they tagged her a witch who killed her family.
It was the same way the husband died that all the children also died; they were vomiting and defecating at the same time. It was later discovered years later that it was a disease called Cholera, and the woman was not a witch.
In the olden days, the ignorance of our forefathers lead to giving birth to unhealthy children, no test or anything was being done to know those who are compatible and those who are not, people just get married to who they love or want and luckily for some, their genotype matched and they give birth to healthy children while some are not so lucky when AS and SS end up getting married and also end up giving birth to SS.
Science is a gift to the world, it takes away the ignorance and provides answers to some things being seen as mysteries... A lot of women died during childbirth, but now science has figured out a way to reduce such a loss... Pregnant women are now advised to register for Antenal, which would help them towards their journey to motherhood, test them, and take care of any complications that may come their way in the process of giving birth... For some of our women who can't give birth on their own, Cs has been introduced, all thanks to Science Discovery.
I focus on the health aspect because it is one of the most important things to humans, Health is wealth
and science helps us to figure out a way to make us healthy and live long..
Now let me dive into Technology, Science is what gives birth to technology because without the study of things, there would be no idea to put into action.
I will keep saying we are among the lucky generations as we got to enjoy science and technology. Gone are the days when our forefather needed to trek miles when on a trip to another city, gone are the days of using a cutlass to clear bushes and a hoe to make ridges on the farm. We are now in a civilized world full of the beauty of science and technology, where machines can be used to do our tasks.
Someone who owns a washing machine will never want to use his or her hands to wash clothes again because the machine makes things easier... It can help to wash, rinse, and dry our clothes with just a few button clicks for us rather than spend hours using our hands to wash those clothes, and we won't be able to wash those with hard textures like jeans well unless we use a brush. The WC just saves us the stress.
We can't miss what we never had, but our generation has tasted soft life, all thanks to science and technology that made life easy for us, so a life without them is something I can't imagine, cos where are we going to start from... We can't go back to those days without mobile phones to keep us company, or days without internet that allow us to know what is happening around the world.

Indeed I do agree with you that science and technology has made our lives a soft one with less stress.
It's been science and technology all the the way
life will be messy without science and tech
Without science, humans might not have come this far. The discovery of science was one of the best thing that ever happened to man
yea we would still be ignorant of so many things
Science indeed is a blessing, making life easier and better, i cant inagine the pain of the woman who was stoned to death as a result of cholera infecting the whole of her family, thanks to science and its discoveries, making life better and better ever.
It was a sad event and she was one out of many such things happened to in the past.
Science and technology have really made the world very comfortable for us. Almost everything around us is science.
It's heartbreaking to think of how people suffered in the past as a result of ignorance but thanks to science, we now know about a lot of diseases and their cure.
Sometimes I can't help but imagine how life was with our parents and grandparents without the use of technology, trekking for miles, suffering just to get house chores done and most importantly, no proper health care...I'm glad I didn't live in that century
Science is a gift to the world, and if not for the rottenness of our government perhaps this country could've advanced a lot in medicine and technology.
The advantages of what it brings outweighs the consequences
Ever since my dad bought a washing machine, my mum has never used her hands to wash
That’s how easy science make things happen

Science has indeed made life easier in so many aspects compared to the old times, our generation is lucky.
You’re very correct
A few days ago, my mum felt ill and she had to undergo a MRI test
If there was no science, there won’t be any test of such and we won’t know what the problem is
Kudos to science!
In the past specially women needed to take blame because of superstation but science has already proved it wrong.
One significant one was women were blamed for giving the birth of daughter where fathers are responsible for it.
