TECHNOLOGY IS NOT ONLY COMPUTERS

                        Technology is not only computers

Biotechnology was invented even before the before the Common Era although not until the 20^th century the term biotechnology was commonly used. This term was used to describe different traditional activities such as:  cheese, wine and beer making, selective breeding and even primitive plant cloning. Although these are biological and complex reactions, they do not fall under our use of the term biotechnology. According to the United States National Science Academy (USNSA), biotechnology is described as being the controlled use of cell or cellular components for a beneficial use. This new scientific branch uses more advanced techniques which help us take even greater advantages of biological process. One example is genetic engineering. This technique helps us transfer different desired genes from one organism to another one without causing any noticeable damage. In essence, biotechnology is an ever growing industry and it is very important to our lives and it will still be in 100 years´ time.

In essence, biotechnology is a modern science branch which is still developing and expanding all over the world.  This science will gain even more importance and it is regarded as being the science of the future. In addition, even more people will be able to benefit from this, and global problems like famine could come to an end. The importance of microorganisms is obvious, and if they are investigated responsibly in a short period of time we are going to depend on them for much more things. Vaccines, medicines, better food quality…are just three of the thousands of advantages that this science has, and one day, our society will enjoy every single one of them. Through research, hard work and responsibility we will take advantage of a microscopic world which has an enormous importance to us.
