STEM Thinking 2.
There have been many scientific discoveries and inventions that have advanced and impacted our society. Three that I find to be quite beficial are computers, machines that help pinpoint where cancer and other abnormalities may lie in someone's body, and vaccines/medicine.




Computers, at one point, were thought of as expensive and because they were full of great technology, a lot of people couldn't afford them. Over the past little bit computers have become a necessity to most people, whether they're young or old and fill most homes and work places. When at home, people use them for social networking and games and when at work they're expected to hold large documents and other important things. Many companies depend on computers to help run their businesses and they're looked at as more reliable than humans. Although computers have a lot of bad things following them, they've made life a lot more easier and I feel that not too long from now nearly everything will be ran and controlled by/through a computer.

-While computers don't have much to do with our game and the things in our game, we wouldn't be able to do it without a computer. Everything we do is ON a computer; it's one of the most crucial aspects to all of this.



Cancer is a scary part of life and in the past it has had many victims. One of thee most frightening things about it was the unknown. You didn't KNOW if you had cancer. Sometimes illness would set in and it'd go from there. Other times people would just die. Those things are still a possibility now but we have machines that can show us where tumors, cancer, and things like that are in the body. Because of this people are surviving cancer and going on with their lives. It's still something to worry about but there's an amazing survival rate nowadays.

- Having the ability to figure out where cancer is in someone's body doesn't have anything to do with our game but I still find it to be a wonderful invention.



Vaccinations and medicine go hand in hand with the power to figure out would-be-fatal conditions and illnesses. When someone has cancer they're given the option to go through a process of chemo and other things; that tends to be why people "get rid" of cancer. Vaccinations are used to keep people from getting harmful illnesses in the first place. How is that NOT amazing? While, thankfully, I've never had to go through the process of "chemo" or anything like that and I've never had any horrible illnesses (Knock on wood...), whenever you look at it even from a distance it's easy to see how far we've gotten and what we are so capable of doing.

-Once again, this doesn't really apply to our game, either. It may apply loosely, seeing as you've got to give the animals medicine afte you rescue them but that's a very miniscule part.

    Medicine is such a great invention. Man would be lost without it. It has prolonged the lives of so many, and saved the lives of tons. Great points. (:
