Summary
Affecting almost every aspect of our daily life, science can be regarded as an integral part of our life. From the very first moment of their existence on the earth, people have produced new information through science with the motivation to survive and make their lives easier and made the first technological inventions including wheels, rafts and knives using this information (Hastürk, 2017). In line with the advancements in technology, science was able to advance as well. Science and technology have a reciprocal relationship. Contrary to what most people think, technology does not equal to machines only. Technology is the systematic application of organized information or scientific information by using the skills gained as a result of people's efforts to dominate nature (Alkan, 1998; Galbraith, 1967; İşman, 2001)
