Today, several billions years after the creation of Earth , we depend upon Science, depend on technologies. Once upon a time, people could easily survive without the miracles of the modern technology until they started looking at that kind of life as something impossible. Modern medicine saved many lives, the development of science enabled quicker, better and more qualitative development of the human species, technologies helped man to fulfill his old dreams to finally reach the border of impossible. Today, the border of possible and impossible no longer exists. Thanks to the scientists everything is possible, all the dreams can be fulfilled. In the old time the main question asked by man was: Is there any way to do it?”, today the only question man can ask: “ Is it possible to pay that and justify the costs?”. The 20th century, that is already behind us, developed the new technology and science, and the technology and science have developed the new generation, that became dependent on the all those miracles of modern time. Once upon a time, children used to play in parks, building sand castles, today, they spend their time in front of the computers. Their friends need not sit next to them, they can be some thousand kilometers away, and they can still play together through Internet. Some may discuss on the good and bad side of that but the fact is that this new era got under our skin and we are all a part of the big new e-generation. In the 60’s man has fulfilled his dream. He finally landed on to the Moon. But still, before that hundreds of scientist dealt with calculations, seeking a way to perform this act, many tests and experiments were made, new aim was given to technology, almost impossible tasks were given to the equipment producers, until just one it happened, Neil Amstrong - was the first to step on the Moon. Little children often put questions: How? and Why?…. But, their parents can not answer their questions. Some things can not have a simple explanation, not any more, and thing we want to offer you is just a little introduction in something that has no borders: interconnection of science and technology. It is hard to state what is science, and what is technology. All this has simple been growing into each other - into one big whole, whole that make impossible become possible. All today’s hi-tech products depend on mathematics, physics, electronics and informatics. Here, on the same place you can acquire basic knowledge from physics and mathematics, and on the example of gas station find an answer on the eternal question: “Why is it necessary?” ThinkQuest
