The history of human progress has eloquently proved: Science and technology are human progress and social development, a huge driving force of history. The popular science of science and technology as a bridge leading to human society, it is the eternal theme of human history.
Over the years, the Chinese Government always attaches importance to science popularization. At present, China has entered the economic construction of the new historical period, social transformation, economic transformation, in the socialist market economic system, the popularization of greater vigor and vitality lies in a timely manner to put real science work social, economic, cultural three-dimensional coordinates and accurately locate their position, to establish consistent with the social system, operation mechanism and operation method, and select the times of popular science topics.
In essence, the popularization of science is a social education. It is different from the social education as school education, also from vocational education, its basic characteristics are: social, mass and continuity. The characteristics of popular science show that science must be the use of socialization, the mass of the science and regular way, full use of modern multi-media distribution channels and information, seize the opportunity to extensively penetrate into a variety of social activities, to form large-scale, full of vigor, the great social science.
Obviously, the popularization of science is a large wide range of social work, not a department, a small number of full-time staff can accomplish. In a sense, everyone in society are popular targets, and each worker they may become popular. "Those who can afford as a teacher" is the mass another characteristic of social education. However, popular science work still need to have relatively fixed basic team, which is dispersed in society in the conduct of science and technology workers. Scientific and technical personnel who are technology and knowledge, to disseminate scientific and technological knowledge is their sacred duty. Some countries, the popularization of science and technology workers as a public good due to a social obligation.
Modern science and technology is a very vast and complex system of spatial structure, with rich content and a variety of social functions. In science work, we should pay attention to external utility of scientific knowledge, we can not ignore its inherent scientific thought, scientific approach and scientific spirit. Knowledge and information contained in the four different levels (ie data, information, knowledge and intelligence), the highest occupied level of intelligence, is the scientific and cultural quality of the people constitute the most important quality of the activity. Which are in different positions on the leading cadres at all levels and scientific and technological work of managers, particularly important.
