1. If you will be given a chance to travel back in time, which

inventor you would want to meet and what lesson do you
want to learn from him and why?

I admire people, specifically, those who have been part of the scientific and
industrial revolution, and those who had committed their life for discovery
and unleashed their innovative thinking for humanity. Thomas Edison was
one of the greatest innovators during the 19 th century. His life is not only an
example of stepping-out of one’s boundaries for exploration but an
extraordinary representation of perseverance, dedication and hard-work. He
may have had various setbacks and failings encountered during the thought
process, but he firmly believed that his hypothesis will be made into reality
and it will work for the sake of humanity. There may be thousands of
failings in life, but I always intentionally look for a thousand reasons to get
up and try again.

2. What period do you think the greatest success in Science and

Technology?

Historically, the greatest success in science and technology was during the
20th century. That was the period where rapid increase in discoveries and
production of various innovations were identifiable. The conduct of various
researches were also increased that created deep observations and wider
cognitive content for farther scientific revolution.

3. If you are an inventor that will contribute to Science &

Technology, what product will you make and why?

There are only three constant things in life: change, death, and God. But in
today’s era, we see big changes that have shifted human course journey in
life and brought the world into more advanced with science and technology.
If I am about to invent something that will contribute to science and
technology, especially, for the sake of humanity, it would be a virus detector
that can determine and calculate the data, elements, and other necessary
chemicals that can stop it from affecting many more lives. By that, the
economy will remain strong, the peace and order will remain in place, and
the society will remain resilient. Of course, that invention will require deep
and wide research, testing, perseverance, dedication, energy and time. But
again, as Thomas Edison, thousand fails may arise, but I will be looking for
a thousand reasons to try again.
