I've always been curious and wondered how science came about in every little way I came across. There are times I think people who discovered the difference science people use now, didn't know their work will have this much effect in the world and they are not alive to witness and prove that thought wrong. It's even surprising that some invention I've come across, I do not know who came up with it.
So many science inventions, so many scientists and so many to come, I feel like I know too little compared to the efforts humans have put into bringing science close to mankind for their benefits.

Well, a lot of scientists may had started to develop things with good intentions but some inventions seem to be against mankind in one way or the other but I think this has a lot to do with what humans decide to use the inventions for, going far from the mindset of the inventor.
In science, I've imagined that it is full of trials by error, mistakes and unexpected outcomes before a good invention comes to stay. I could imagine this because I've experienced what it is like to plan something, find words of affirmation or equipments that would favour that plan. I can't help but imagine how hard it must have been for our scientists in the past when they came up with inventions that has taken over the world.
Finding the right equipment to develop an idea in a world that isn't developed yet, I remember a movie I saw where the characters live in a very primitive place and came across a coke bottle for the first time. Their reaction to that sight was unforgettable to me, they got too creative with the bottle that it made me wonder how it was for our scientists back then.
Imagine failing after trying so many times but not giving up just to see success in what you believe would work. I believe a lot of scientists had this mindset and that is why so many inventions from the past are here today and benefiting mankind in so many ways.
It is never an understatement that science has done so much for mankind and we have our scientists both old and new to be grateful to about them. But it's no lie that we wonder how far science could go with it's evolution or development in the human race.
I've written a post before giving some areas that I thin science has gone too far with them, giving response to how far science would go is difficult as we never know how far but from what we've seen in today's world, science isn't like it used to be in the past and that is to show it is changing whether for good or for bad.
A lot of recent inventions still have as much benefits for mankind as the past inventions did but I feel the world evolution is having effect on these recent ones making them have more problems coming with them than the past ones.
I believe the trials By Errors, mistakes and unexpected outcomes in science is fine so long scientists would be more careful of the kinds of inventions they should allow the world see and make use of. In today's world, there are already inventions that would have been better they were not revealed to the world but then, they are out there.
We can only hope science won't go too far as endangering the whole human race but instead, it could go as far as improving the human world for better living.
