> It's become irrelevant because technology is now the measure of all things. It's an outdated mindset to view science and the pursuit of knowledge as sacred things that must have an order. If the technology is progressing, then the field is, therefore there is no need to care about the abstract concept of "progress of science", as it is tangential in practice.

You are making a mistake that Kuhn tried to correct in the revised edition of SoSR published in 1969 where his choice of terminology sometimes had 2 senses, causing critics to focus on one sense when he intended the other.

In any case, you seem to use science and technology interchangeably which of course is wrong.

Reading Kuhn forced me to review what we collectively regard as science, engineering and technology. It turns out these are all different things!

From my notes on SoSR + review of Wikipedia articles, I distilled the following summaries as to how they differ:

Science: systematic body of knowledge of the physical world (observations, know-how)

Science can broadly be:

   - applied (urgent solutions) or;
   - theory (non-urgent solutions)

Technology: applied sci. (that yields tools)

Engineering: applied sci. & tech (know-how & tools)
