    Here is a potential response for Activity 1: Topic chosen: Use of robots/machines in industrial facilities 1. The increasing use of robots and machines in industrial facilities is driven by advancements in engineering and computer science. Robots can perform repetitive, dangerous, or strenuous tasks more efficiently and safely than human workers. They do not require breaks, get tired, or demand higher wages. This increases productivity and reduces production costs for companies. 2. However, the widespread use of robots also displaces human jobs. As robots take over more manual and routine tasks, many assembly line and factory jobs performed by people are eliminated. This can increase unemployment and disrupt local economies that rely on those industrial jobs. It also changes the

    SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND

    ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO SOCIETY


    IN CONTEMPORARY WORLD
    PREPARED BY:
    RHONA R.SAMSON,RN,LPT
    A. Science, technology and society (STS)
    Referred as the science and technology studies, is the study of how social, political, and
    cultural values affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how these, in turn
    affect society.

    The field of STS is related to history and philosophy of science although with a much broader
    emphasis on social aspects of science and technology.

    Refers to the interaction between science and technology and social cultural, political and
    economic contexts which shape and are shaped by them.; specific examples throughout
    human history of scientific and technological developments.
    B. Science
    Is a systematized body of knowledge

    Is an organized and dynamic inquiry (following scientific method)

    Is knowledge gained through observation and experimentation

    Is a human activity; scientist

    Is a social enterprise: people,knowledge,skills,facilities,apparatuses and technologies

    Leads formation of concepts, methods, principle, theories, law and procedures which seek to describe and
    explain nature and phenomena
    Technology
    As the application of
    As a material products; results knowledge in solving scientific
    of scientific inquiry; hardware and practical problems that
    produce by scientist will help humans to survive
    and improve his life.

    As a social enterprise –
    Technology is a complex
    system of knowledge, skills,
    people, methods, tools,
    As human cultural activities materials and resources
    and endeavors applied and allocated to the
    development ,operation and
    production of a new or
    improved product, process or
    services. ,
    Some of notable success in
    the field of science and
    technology

     THE WHEEL
     the concept of inventing the wheel came during
    3500BC.Humans were severely limited in how much stuff they
    could transport overland, and how far.
     The idea came to connect a non-moving platform to a rolling
    cylinder. People then invented the wheel and axle which is the
    concept of making wheels.
     The holes at the center of the wheels and at the end of a fixed
    axles had to be nearly perfectly round and smooth for the
    wheels to work.
     Wheeled carts facilitated agriculture and commerce by
    enabling the transportation of gods to and from markets, as
    well as easing the burden of people travelling great distances.
    THE COMPASS
     Before, mariners navigate with the star,
    but that method didn’t work during the
    day or on cloudy nights.
     The Chinese invented the first compass
    sometime between the 9th and 11th
    century;it was made of lodestone , a
    naturally-magnetized iron core, the
    attractive properties of which they had
    been studying for centuries.
     Soon after, the technology passed on to
    Europeans and Arabs through nautical
    contact. The contact enabled the
    mariners to navigate safely far from
    land, increasing the sea trade and
    contributing to the Age of Discovery
    The Printing Press
    • Johannes Gutenberg, a German who
    invented the printing press around
    1440. The first to have created a
    mechanized process that transferred
    the ink (which he made from linseed oil
    and soot) from the movable type of
    paper.

    • Printing press exponentially increased


    the speed with which book copies could
    be made, and thus led to the rapid and
    widespread dissemination of
    knowledge for the first time in history.
    THE INTERNAL
    COMBUSTION ENGINE

    • In these engines, the combustion of fuel releases a


    high temperature gas, which, as it expands, applies
    force to a piston, moving it.
    • The combustion engines convert chemical energy
    into mechanical work.
    • The engine steered in theIndustrial Age which
    enabled the invention of a huge variety of
    machines, including cars and aircraft.
    THE TELEPHONE

    • ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL –


    • He was the first to be
    • awarded a patent for the electric
    in 1876
    • The invention quickly took off
    and revolutionized global
    business and communication.
    PENICILLIN
    • - ALEXANDER FLEMING - 1928, Scottish scientist
    noticed a bacteria-filled Petri dish in his
    laboratory, sample had been contaminated by a
    mold, and everywhere the mold was, the
    bacteria was dead.
    • The antibiotic mold turned out to be the Fungus
    Penicillium, and over the next two decades,
    chemist purified it and developed the drug
    Penicillin, which fights a huge number of
    bacterial infections in human without harming
    the humans themselves. It was being mass
    produced and advertised by 1944.
    THE INTERNET
    • The global system of interconnected
    computer networks used by the
    billions of people worldwide.
    • In 1960s the team of computer
    scientist working for U.S. Defense
    Departments ARPA( Advanced
    Research Projects Agency)
    • Built a communications network to
    connect the computers in the agency,
    called ARPANET – the method of data
    transmission called ‘packet switching’.
    It is the predecessor of the Internet
    that eventually emerged to become
    the “Information superhighway”
    ECO- FRIENDLY
    TECHNOLOGIE
    S/ ADVANTAGES

    • SOLAR ENERGY –
    use of solar panel
    to provide
    electricity
    • GEOTHERMAL
    ENERGY
    • WIND POWER –
    wind mills as a
    source of energy.
    Disadvantages and
    Ethical dilemmas of
    Science and
    Technology

    • 1. Threats to human survival.


    Ex. Nuclear Bomb
    • Exploitation of advanced scientific
    knowledge and technological devices
    2. Ethical and systems gave rise to situation in
    delimmas which advances seem to have turned
    against their beneficiaries, creating
    ethical dilemma.
    DISPARITIES IN HUMAN WELL BEING

    • there are advanced countries enjoying science and


    technology based successes and hold high steem in
    contemporary society (Economic strength) versus
    millions of people in less developed countries who
    have not partaken in these benefits.
    • Military power is vital for
    SOCIAL AND national security of many
    governments; Superior and
    CULTURAL highly technical weapons
    CONFLICTS dictated the outcomes of some
    recent wars.
    INNOVATING TECHNOLOGIES CAN
    HAVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
    FOR CERTAIN SECTORS OR
    CONTITUENCIES
    Include pollution associated
    with production processes
     Increased unemployment from labor
    saving new technologies
    Conversion of
    agricultural land
    into urban areas.
     Effects on human
    psychologically and
    emotionally- the usage and
    addiction of new gadgets.
    Effects of overused technologies in medical industry that can cause
    fatal births and diseases.
    • Global warming
