Science and Technology
In science, a concept is tested, and if it is valid forms a theory/explanation of a phenomenon. While in technology, science is applied so as to help us in various task in everyday life, for example, a washing machine, removing the need to hand wash clothes.
In a time long past:
Machines such as clay and styluses were used to carve out clay tablets

In the unlikely future:
The internet, computers and tablets will be used to replace books when they are combined to make e-books
