Technology and Science have to be looked at individually.

Technology, when though of, is what man has created ("tech" means craft). Technology can govern what is said about art or applied sciences. Technology affects our society because technology is all around us. It is what allows us to advance forward through our eras. Primitive technology could be considered hammers made by Neanderthals.

Science is very different from technology. Science is not what we can create, but is more focused on our world and how it functions. Learning how a bird flies is science, but mimicking a bird through aviation would be technology. Science is about gathering knowledge through a systematic perspective and creating theories and laws to prove what we have learned. Science IS our world, and that is how it affects the world.

Science and technology are just words created by humans and therefore humans decided what is technology and what is science.
It can affect in many way,

physically the society become more comfortable but may prone to many diseases due to unhealthy living habit such as sitting in front of the computer for a long period of time.

mentally the society become more educated and more connected but may become less social due to lack of meeting together face to face.

....there are many more side effect so one should know how to self-control by not relying too much on technology and science for it is not the main criteria of living.

Science and technology have had a major impact on society, and their impact is growing. ... By making life easier, science has given man the chance to pursue societal concerns such as ethics, aesthetics, education, and justice; to create cultures; and to improve human conditions.
