Science and Poverty

Quoting Bill Gates:
'Poverty has been with us forever, but the advances of science have not been with us forever - and that is why the future can be different from the past. Innovations like 'scuba' rice can help farmers in the developing world protect their crops, feed their families and emerge from poverty. Read more about why Melinda and I support science with our foundation: http://b-gat.es/13ucuP0.'
Another resource I might use in the topic 'The Technological World' as a way to stress that science is not just about pure technology or science-fiction. It can also be used to fight poverty in developing countries. Together with Melinda at their Foundation, Bill Gates enlightens the power of science to benefit the poor.
