WHEN TECHNOLOGY

AND HUMANITY CROSS

 “It has become appallingly obvious that technology has exceeded our humanity.” – Albert Einstein

ADVANTAGE, DISADVANTAGE AND LIMITATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY

 Technology has a profound on every aspect of lives. The way we live, interact changes through technology in the
different fields of education, medicine transportations, economy, communications and politics.

ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY

DISADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY

 Humans had misused the technology and used in damaging purpose

 By the use of technology, man is doing illegal things

 New technology like mobile is generating bad consequences to the children.

 By means of modern technology, terrorist use it for destructive purpose.

 Many illnesses are created due to the development of atomic energy and atom bomb.

 Modern technology like nuclear energy have not only affected and other creatures.

 Natural beauty is decreasing due to the development of modern technology.

LIMITATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY TO HUMANITY

FACTORS THAT DEFINED THE LIMITS OF TECHNOLOGY:

 The law of physics

 The law of software

 The challenge of algorithm

 The difficulty of distribution

 The problem of design

 The problem of functionality

 The importance of the organization

 The impact of economics

 The influence of politics

THE LAW OF PHYSICS

Through software a flexible medium. The Quantum and Thermodynamics effects that limits the use of
technology

THE LAW OF SOFTWARE AND ALGORITHMS

A software limitation: There are a given computation that we can’t do it, or we cant afford it and sometimes we
don’t know how to do it.

- David Harel’s delightful book

THE DIFFICULT OF DISTRIBUTION

A distribution system is one in which the failure of a computer you didn’t even know existed can render your
computer unusable.

- Leslie Lamport, American computer scientist

THE PROBLEMS OF DESIGN

Web-centric system consist of ten thousands of lines of customs code on top hundreds of thousands lines of
middleware code on top of several million lines of operating system code.

“Everything should not be multiplied unnecessarily”

- William Occam

Isaac Newton projected Occam”s works into physics by nothing. “We are admit no more causes of natural things such
are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances”

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simplier.” - Albert Einstein

 THE PROBLEM OF FUNCTIONALITY

Brooks writes: To consider the requirements functionally, and non-functionally of a machine has a limitation.
IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION

“None Person can ever understand such a system completely”

– Booch (2003)

More developers mean more complex communication and hence more difficult coordination, particularly if the
team is geographically dispersed.

With team of developers, the key management challenge is always to maintain a unity and integrity of design.

THE IMPACT OF ECONOMICS

Technological Advancement cost money

According to Barry Boehm in his classic work on:

Software Engineering Economics, based upon empirical evidences, concludes that the performance of a project can be
predicted according to the equation:

PERFORMANCE = (COMPLEXITY X PROCESS) X TEAM X TOOLS

PERFORMANCE – effort or time

COMPLEXITY – volume of human- generated code

PROCESS – maturity of process and notation

TEAM – skill set, experience and motivation

TOOLS – software tools automation

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICS

 Investment in software development is the key to success; the political organization can influence its progress
and limitation. Great things could have provided if the politics influences are on a positive side.

HUMANITY

 From the latin word “humanitas” which means “human nature, kindness.”

 Humanity is the human race, which includes everybody on earth.

 It’s also a word for the qualities that make us human, such as the ability to love and have compassion, be
creative and not be a robot or alien.

POLICIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

* U.S industry technological advancement frequently has been reinforced by congressional initiatives over past 30 and
more.
-U.S Industrial Competitiveness and Technological Advancement article in 2012

* Increase in economic growth in the contribution to the creation of new goods, new services, new job and new capital
because of the advances technology.

* Technology application can improve productivity and quality of products.

CANADA, USA, NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA TO

EUROPE AND ASIA-PACIFIC

* Scientific developments and technological changes are important drives of current economic performance.

* Some features of this transformation are the: Growing impact of information and communications technologies; rapid
application of new products and processes; a change to more knowledge-intensive industries and services.

PHILIPPINES

 The technology market is facing crisis since the economic environment of the developing countries are opposing
technology based institutions.

- Research and Development and Technology in the Philippines

ETHICAL DILEMMAS

 Science and technology as well as research and development enjoy and must continue autto enjoy onomy from
the state and society.

-Technology Permeates every aspects of human life and activity.

REAL-TIME SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO

ASTRONAUT BIOTHICS
(of colonizing Mars)

- The colonization of Mars and plans for a long- term space missions are already on going.

- On December 5, NASA launched the Orion spacecraft. Charles Bolden a NASA Administrator declared it as a “Day one
Mars era”

- The Company of Mars one is preparing to launch a robotic mission to Mars in 2018, with succeeding humans in 2025.,

WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

 wearable have the potential to teach us,

 protect our health, as well as violate our

 Privacy in any amount ways.

STATE-SPONSORED HACKTIVISM

AND SOFT WAR

-"Soft war" is a concept used to explain rights and duties of is urgent even terrorists during armed struggle.

-Soft war incorporates tactics other than armed forced to achieve political ends.

-Hacktivism or Cyber war could the tools of

soft war, through states in inter-states conflict,

as opposed to isolated individuals or groups.

ENHANCE PATHOGENS

-October 17, 2014 the White House suspend a research that

would enhance the pathogenicity of viruses.

-Gain-of-function research is not detrimental; it is used to provide

vital understanding to virus and how to treat them.

NON-LETHAL WEAPONS

Weapons that may not kill but can cause serious pain,

physical injuries and long term health costs.

ROBOT SWARMS

Harvard University researchers newly created group of 1000 robots.

No human intervention is required on these

"kilobots" beyond the original set of instructions and

works together to complete tasks.

ARTIFICIAL FORMS

 Research on artificial life forms is an range of synthetic biology focused on custom building life forms to address
specific purposes. Synthetic life allows scientists to study the origins of life by building it rather than breaking it
down. Making artificial life forms has been deemed "playing God".

RESILIENT SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

 Resilient Social-Ecological Systems is what we need to build. Tolerantly being pushed to an extreme while
maintaining their functionality either by returning to the early state or by operating a new state. Able to stand
extreme weather events or regain functionality quickly afterwards is an example.

BRAIN-TO-BRAIN INTERFACES

 It's no Vulcan mind meld, but brain-to-brain interfaces have been achieved, allowing for direct communication
from one brain to another without speech. The interactions can be between humans or between humans and
animals.
