Which would you say influences the other? and why?
Will there be a point in time where Technology advancements comes to a stand still? or will Technology just keep advancing?
Will Science keep the need for more advanced Technology?
Will Technology solve all science one day?
How far can Technology go?
 
Science helps create technology and technology provides tools for science.

Take the microscope, for example. Science has helped microscope designers create ever more powerful scopes. And those more powerful scopes provide advances for science.

And no, I do not think technology will solve all scientific questions.

As far as our knowledge and imagination take us.
 
Somone imagined that man would fly before man flew. Therefore, science and technology are only dependent upon leaders.

A guy needing to crap, but it was very cold outside imagined inside plumbing before indoor plumbing was invented. Therefore, science and technology are only dependent upon men needing to make bowel movements in cold weather..

Neither Technology or Science are finite. No reason to believe their are limits on either.
 
Science is understanding how things work. Technology is the application of that understanding.

For instance, give a bunch of scientists some silica sand, some rocks with rare earth elements in them, some oil, and, voila!, a cell phone. Give those same ingredients to our Senators and Congressmen, and the monkeys will finish Shakespeare before they create a cell phone. You have to have the understanding to create the technology.
