The Role of Imagination in the Advancement of Science and Technology

In my opinion, imagination plays an extremely essential role in the advancement of science and technology. To begin with, imagination let us let the mental images become a reality. We used to imagine we could travel in the water, and now all kinds of ship can take us travel in the water. Besides, we can swim like fish in the deep sea. We used to imagine we could fly like a bird, and now the airplane can take us almost everywhere with a matter of hours. We used to imagine we could communicate with families and friends who have thousands miles away from us, so someone invented telephone, cellphone and computer to have made this feasible.

Furthermore, facts have proved that we have many great discoveries and inventions to imaginations. Owing to imaginations, Maxwell established the Maxwell Equations, founded classical electrodynamics, and predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, said the light

electromagnetic. He is a master of the electromagnetic theory.

In short, examples about imagination are so many. What I mentioned here is just a few. All of them show us that without imagination there won't be advancement of science and technology.
