The role of science and technology
1, social progress
The productivity of scientific and technological development has created a highly developed material civilization, but the improper use of science and technology has caused extremely serious environmental problems around the world.
2. Economic development
China's labor productivity is only 1/40 of that of developed countries. Once science and technology are transformed into productive forces, it will greatly improve production efficiency, thus promoting rapid economic development, and its role greatly exceeds the transformation of the economy by capital and labor.
3. Military combat effectiveness
In today's world, peace and development are the themes of the times. However, the "cold war" mentality still exists, and hegemonism and power politics are still the main sources that threaten world peace and stability. Strengthening the country through science and technology has become the common choice of modern countries.
