Technology expands the field of exploration by science and it does this by realising tangible and intangible artefacts that extend our biological and mental capabilities.
During the Renaissance, science and technology made progress mutually. Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, the sea undertakings to discover new lands led to significant advances in the scientific fields of astronomy and cartography. In that "Age of Discovery", as it was christened the time of the great geographical explorations, developments in technology and techniques of navigation, which occurred through trial and error on the part of sailors, triggered the speculative process by scientists.
