1. Describe what technology can do today.

Technology is its current state has enabled us to advance forward in terms of production,
research, and enhancing the conveniences of its users. It enabled the use of different types of
mechanization of raw materials that gave us alternative materials to replace metals and composites
with something more renewable and efficient. An example of it is the replacement of metals such as
aluminum with carbon fiber in the automotive industry. Even though it is still in its baby phase. This
amount of research could not have been possible If it were not for the Technology humanity have
researched today.

2. How does technology help us in our everyday life?

Depending on your preference, there is always a type of technology that can suit you. If you
are planning to lose weight, there are a lot of apps that tracks your progress and with a diet plan no
less. If you have a back problem and you are having trouble with walking, then you can get yourself
a back supporting brace to help you move easier with less discomfort. There are a lot of tools and
appliances that makes life more convenient for you and others.

3. Explain the importance of technology in our daily tasks?

For almost all of us, its pretty much common sense that technology is essential to our daily tasks.
One of the most distinct of all is the usage of computers. If it were not for them, Online Classes
would not exist in the first place. Technology has enabled us to communicate in long distances,
easily access information, create our own products, further increase our research data and more.
Without technology, the world would be much harsher especially in the Philippines due to the large
amount of typhoons we encounter every year.

4. How does technology help those persons with disability?

Luckily, in this day and age. People with physical disabilities can live easier. Even some people
with disabilities have managed to continue to work. Those with dismembered limbs can get
prosthetics to aid them in handling stuff, those who cannot hear can get hearing aids. Those who
cannot walk can use wheelchairs or even electric carts to help them move around, this included
morbidly obese people of course. On the other hand, people with mental disabilities can only be
treated with limited medications and nothing else, even then, scientists are still finding treatments to
aid in their disabilities.
