A scientific endeavor is the combination of curiosity and societal needs. A scientist must always strive for his curiosity and his work to bring about technological advances that supersede the needs of society. An example of this is the scientific research used to discover new treatments and medicines to cure or lessen diseases that plague mankind and cause people much pain and suffering. Another example is the use of technology to meet the need for communication between people through smathphones and the internet. This was only possible because the scientific effort through a curiosity decided to diminish a need of society.
