Technology vs Modern Science

From Volume I of Universal Model, A New Millennial Science, on page 57 we find the following difference between Science and Technology:

"Scientific leaders recognize the difficulty in getting the public excited over natural science but they also understand the importance of gaining their support. Popularity drives the funding for new research, a multi-billion dollar proposition in America today. How do you convince the public to fund unpopular theoretical research? Over the past several decades, there has been a growing trend to group science and technology into the generic category of ‘science.’ This largely successful effort has effectively blurred the line between them and few people recognize their important differences. One difference remains significant—science has not enjoyed the success that technology has.
We recognize one example in the bestselling American science magazine, Scientific American. During the last two decades, it has become increasingly difficult for science journals and magazines to fill their pages with purely scientific discoveries and stories to maintain readership. On the other hand, technological journals and magazines have grown exponentially, graced with abundant technological discoveries and stories. Scientific American recognized this, and several years ago, the magazine announced to its readers it was changing its format to include new sections dedicated to technology.

"In one instance, they presented twenty World Changing Ideas in the December 2009 issue, to “build a cleaner, healthier, smarter world” (page 50). Of the twenty ideas, only three were science-based. The remaining seventeen were technology-based. This ratio of 3/20 science-based ideas is probably typical of the science-verses-technology circumstance that exists today. There are many more successful technological inventions than there are new scientific discoveries. Most new scientific discoveries (such as those in astronomy and biology) are often a direct result of technological advances in telescopes, DNA testing, and other equipment and procedures. Often times, these new techno-related discoveries contradict existing theories, a topic we approach in later chapters. In another text, the “power of science” is mingled with “technologies”:

“The power of science cannot be denied: it has given us computers and jets, vaccines and thermonuclear bombs, technologies that, for better or worse, have altered the course of history.” End of Science, John Horgan, P.4, 1996

"Computers, jets, and bombs are NOT science, but are technological inventions. We can find examples like this, where science and technology incorrectly mingle outcomes in almost every science related book, magazine, or newspaper."
