Are you a nerd?

That passion for discovering, exploring, and understanding the world around us is what drives science and technology, turning us all a bit nerdy.

In modern society, science and technology are essential elements, present in every aspect of people’s daily lives. From how they communicate to how they take care of themselves and move through the world, these disciplines are profoundly transforming reality continuously. On World Science and Technology Day, we reflect on their central role in life and how they are shaping the present and future.

Science, as a systematic process of researching and understanding natural phenomena, and technology, as the practical application of that knowledge to meet human needs, work together to drive progress and innovation in all areas. From the arrival of cell phones to the development of artificial intelligence, the intersection between science and technology has led to advances that once seemed like they were taken from science fiction movies.

Forms of communication: Emmett Brown and Marty McFly vs Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter

In the communication field, digital technologies have radically transformed the way we connect with others.

Information is at our fingertips, thanks to the internet, which makes knowledge accessible to everyone.

In the movie «Back to the Future,» set in 1985, we see how Emmett Brown and Marty McFly communicate in an era where landline phones and written letters were the main means of communication. In contrast, in the series «The Big Bang Theory,» we see Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, with a more modern communication, with the presence of social networks and cell phones. Through these characters, the different ways in which communication has evolved since 1985 to the digital era of today are reflected.
