Ron Howard on Science and Technology | Breakthrough

science is everywhere and science and
technology is is moving at at such a
pace that it’s a huge challenge to keep
up with it it’s therefore all the more
dynamic all the more fascinating to try
to capture a moment understand it now
have it there for the future and to
celebrate this active quest to try to
make these breakthroughs one of the
things that we’re discovering of course
is that science is controversial anyone
who is attempting to make a breakthrough
is stirring controversy great science
doesn’t come cheap it’s an investment of
individual lives resources and big
decisions need to be made in order to
facilitate these breakthroughs and
that’s always going to stir controversy
when you want to change that’s
unsettling to us human beings and even
if we could agree that there’s a better
outcome waiting for us there in the
future
the the path to get to that place can be
a source of real anxiety conflict rage
it’s stunning what’s happening in fact
as human beings we should be very very
proud of it what science and technology
is achieving is remarkable yet sure
we’re gonna we’re gonna feel some
trepidation and we should and we need to
be cautious at times and take real
responsibility for the projects that we
support and the individuals who we
follow but without a doubt it’s also to
be celebrated it’s a very very dynamic
and exciting time scientists
technologists they could be heroes but
they tend to be more or less kind of
invisible our episodes attempt to give
them a microphone and understand what’s
making them tick as an individual what’s
motivating them what’s driving them
sometimes it’s very surprising
