The last century was a centry of unbelievable technological progress. Such amazing development of science and technology was possible due to many discoveries that were made in various fields. We have already explored the Earth and there are no more lands to be discovered. It seems that everything that was to be discovered, have already been explored and discoverers have no place for themselves in the twenty first century. In fact, there are still many questions to which there are no answers and which are puzzling not only for ordinary people but also for scientists.
The outer space still remains one of the biggest mysteries of the modern science. Space exploration provided us with many important facts concerning our solar system, however we still need a lot of information which could make it easier for us to understand the universe. We cannot be sure that life does not exist somewhere on Mars, Venus or even Moon and we do not know if all the planets and stars have been discovered.
Another field which needs to be explored even more is medicine. This branch of science gives a lot of possibilities to discoverers. Thousands of people die every year from incurable diseases like AIDS or cancer. Maybe someone will discover a cure to them within next couple of years? Or maybe some scientists that try to deal with the problem will discover vaccines which will prevent the occurance of the diseases and save human lives.
The computer technology has been developing very rapidly for the last few years. I think that there is still place for new discoveries which could accelerate the technological advance even more. Better computer technology will undoubtedly contribute to the development of science which, in turn, will provide us with explanations of various phenomena that occur in the world.
Humans are curious by nature and we want to know the answers to all the questions that bother us. I think that there is still a lot to be explored in the world therefore in my opinion it is possible to be a discoverer even in the twenty first century.
