 So, what do transportation, communications, what we eat, and the things we do all have in common? Well, they're all linked together by science and technology. My name is Brian, and one of the things that I find just fascinating is how science and technology influences every aspect of our lives and the world around us. Knowing about science and technology helps us to better understand our past. It can explain throughout our history why there are conflicts, why people go through such great lengths to push new frontiers, and it also helps us to understand the interconnectivity of the world around us. Although the history of science and technology is fascinating, it's important to remember that it's constantly evolving, so understanding its implications allow us to better understand how science and technology influences the present. When we examine how much science and technology has changed throughout the course of human history, it gives us an idea of its great potential and the hope it holds for the future. My name is Brian, and if I can be a National Science and Technology Week Champion, then so can you.
