Journal Entry #3

            After watching Ted Talk show on “How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries” by Adam Savage. I started to understand why Adam Savage is criticizing scientist today. Adam savage criticizes scientists for using technology to find the discoveries for them because these technologies cost billions of dollars. He claims that scientist in this day relies too much on technology to discover new things, he states how people in the past only used their eyes, ears, and their minds.

            I agree that long ago famous scientists made discoveries without any technology that cost a fortune. Scientists back in the day started with a simple question or idea that gave them the determination to expand their knowledge even further to figure out the answer. Adam Savage also claims, “science is an open field”. I believe this is true because there are many fields of studies in science and each field of study differ from one another by a significant amount. I believe the thing that separates a good scientist from a bad scientist is that a good scientist must always be curious and must have questions.
