Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question does not provide any options, so we can say the following.

Skomilowski tries to differentiate between the functions of technology and science, considering that science looks for a continual understanding of the phenomenon and the progress of humanity. For Skomilowski, progress is the indicator of the benefits of science, meanwhile, technology is more focused on producing objects that facilitate the life of humans and can be sold.

For Bunge, technology is the generator of actions towards progress. Science is the motor that develops technology that can be applied to anything. This technology can be improved to perfect things. Scientific discoveries allow the continual perfection of things through technology.
