DIRECTION: Answer the following questions using two to three sentences only (beyond three
sentences will be marked incorrect). For number 6, alphabetical, your surnames will be used for
your groupings; each group should be composed of 8 members.

1. What other technological advancements can possibly be developed in the future?

One of the technological advancements that could

possibly be developed in the future is the Artificial
intelligence (AI). It is an area of computer science that
emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work
and react like humans. Some of the activities computers
with artificial intelligence are designed for include: speech
recognition, learning and panning.

2. Suggest a way that you can think would promote safekeeping of our biodiversity.
One of the ways I think would promote safekeeping for our biodiversity is - recycle all
plastic and glass products as a household. This process prevents the overuse of petroleum
products in the making of items, as well as, protects trees and forests used in paper
products.

3. Is genetic engineering a pure scientific process or is it an act of humans playing like

God?

I really don't think so, but, firstly, it's engineering, it's science. Secondly, it's a
technological process for changing the DNA program, in a cell, based on knowledge gain
through the application of the scientific method. I think, it's not playing like God since to
do that you have to be doing great and unexplainable "miracles".

4. Give one contribution of nanotechnology for the improvement and

sustainability of our environment. Explain.
