Why should we care about Science?

Science is not just about innovation and new technologies, it is Curiosity based. Science occurred in the age of stone when the cavemen learned what would happen when two stones were rubbed against one another. There was no internet at that time but curiosity helped their brain grow in finding new knowledge.
