B. Draw what you think or the word would be without science and technology. In one

In our drawing, we imagined the world without science and technology, and this is what we
imagined. It can be seen in our drawing that there are still ancient people. For us, this will be the
appearance of society in the world without science and technology. There are no technologies like
machines and gadgets, because there are no inventions that will happen. Without science and
technology, we don't know anything. Our lives without science and technology are very hard in all
aspects of life, from hunting food and the necessities for our survival. The drawing also shows that
the surroundings are still clean and full of plants. Because there is no pollution as a result of
industrialization and modernization hence, humanity could not move forward because of lacking
the scientific knowledge and skill to foster spectacular and pertinent inventions for society's needs.
This drawing showcase how simple life was without science and technology. The bad side of this is
that we cannot achieve the state of being civilized, but the good is that we are not experiencing
climate change. Overall, without science, we are not sure of what our future will be. We will be
perceiving our lives without guarantee.
