It is very difficult for me if I must thing about the role of science for the best future, according to me all of knowledge and science is very important to our live, but in this chance I will try to predict for the best future what do people need to make it success.We live in a time of great change and challenge. In my mind, integrating the Environmental science and the transformative power of computer science – is necessary for responding adequately to the challenges facing humanity and our planet. Why it must be integrated. First reason why I choose Environmental as a future science because every day when we read of the headlines of any newspaper not only local newspaper but also international newspaper provides images of disease, hunger, poverty, natural disasters, and pollution. That tragedy makes us sad and we can look that tragedy around of us. For example, Buildings an apartment can be constructed with new more sustainable methods. Transportation can be provided while using less energy. In other words, we must think differently. We need the knowledge or science to solve this problem, so in this case I need Environmental scienceEnvironmental science is a discipline that fosters new ways of thinking. Environmental science is an applied science designed to help address and solve the challenges the world faces. It is also by its very nature a global science.I hope in the future the goal of the Environmental Science is to provide people with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them.Second reason why I choose computer science, because we need computer science to solve human’s job. Computer science has created new technology that helped the people in this world. For example internet world. This technology makes people smarter and cleverer than before. I can access and get information from that technology. Computer scientist and science fiction writer Vernon Vinge writes about internet in the future that all of people in the world can access the knowledge quickly. Beside that Ian Foster, director of the computational institute at the University of Chicago, writes of the interaction between science and computer science in Two way street to science’s future, and argues that scientists need to develop their computer science skills:
… the scientist of 2020 will be adept in computing: not only will they know how to program, but they will have a solid grounding in, for example, the principles and techniques by which information is managed; the possibilities and limitations of numerical simulation; and the concepts and tools by which large software systems are constructed, tested and evolved. This knowledge has been picked up on the job by many pioneering scientists and will hopefully be instilled in the next generation by more formal training. The idea that you can be a competent scientist without such training will soon seem as odd as the notion that you need not have a solid grounding in seventeenth-century mathematics (such as algebra).
From these studies we can learn that technology especially computer science in the future will change this world, The people will need computer to help their live and make their job finish quickly, and between human and technology always together like Romeo and Juliet. If we combine this knowledge between Environmental Science and Computer Science for the future, it will give good impact to our society. We can imagine that all people can access this knowledge quickly. People can share a new knowledge with internet and technology media so many people will know how to improve and repair their environment, especially for a developing country like my country Indonesia. My community can get new information and how to keep good time.The Environmental Science will solve the Environment damage and Computer Science will help the people to get that knowledge with technology media.
