1 In recent years, scientific and technological developments have drastically changed life on our planet as well as our views both of ourselves as individuals in society and of entire Universe sa whole. 2 Today, science and technology are closely related. Many modern technologies such as nuclear power and space flights depend on science and the application of scientific knowledge and principles. Each advance in
pure science creates new opportunities for the development of new ways of making things to be used in daily life. In tum, technology provides science with new and more accurate instruments for its investigation and
research
5. Technology refers to the ways in which people use discoveries to satisfy needs and desires, to alter the environment, to improve their lives Throughout human history, men and women have invented tools, machines, materials and techniques, to make their lives easier. 4 Of course, when we speak of technology today, we are looking at it in a much narrower sense.
Generally, we mean industrial technology, or the technology that began about 200 years ago with the
development of power-driven machines, growth of the factory system, and mass production of goods that has created the basis for our modern society. Today we often say that we live in an age of science and technology. According to one estimate, 90 % of all the scientists who ever lived, were alive and active in the 1970-s This
increased scientific activity has brought new ideas, processes, and inventions in ever-growing amount.
3.The scientific revolution that began in the 16th century was the first time that began to work together. Thus, Galileo, who made revolutionary discoveries in astronomy and physics, also
science and technology
built an improved telescope and patented a system of lifting water. However, it was not until the 19th century that technology truly was based on science and inventors began to build on the work of scientists. For example, Thomas Edison built on the early experiments of Faraday and Henry in his mentice of the first practical
system of electrical lighting So too, Edison carried on his investigations until he found the carbon filament for the electric bulb in a research laboratory. This was the first true modern technological research
6 In a sense, the history of science and technology in the history of all humankind.

2. Под влиянием Кодекса Наполеона во многих континентальных странах, систематизировали их права, публичного и частного. На континенте, поэтому объем написанного закона-это больше, чем объем неписаные. В Англии в соответствии с традицией Писания законов было относительно мало уважения в и по большей части никогда не были приняты. Так в Англии, где больше законов вытекают из судебных прецедентов, неписанный закон является преобладающим. Это не, конечно, означает, что никто из английское право кодифицировано. Многие части его закреплены: например, закон о продаже товаров (Закон о продаже товаров 1979 г.) и закон о партнерстве (закон О партнерствах 1890). Все это означает, что, хотя парламент может и не принять никаких законов, это радует, существует целая система кодификации, которая преобладает во многих континентальных странах.
