1. Discuss the impact (at least 3 positive and 3 negative) of technology in the following
areas:
A. Human Relations
POSITIVE
 It made the communication around the
world easier and more effective.
 It helps many individuals in terms of saving
more money, time, and energy in many
ways.
 It helps in faster dissemination of news and
information, making people to be more
aware of what is going on in their
surroundings.
B. Job opportunities
POSITIVE
 It makes it easy and less burden for
workers while working
 It is a lot easier for people to find
or apply jobs online.
 It enables to improve business a lot
more better and improve the
communication between the
employer and employees as well.
C. Business sector/Education Sector/ Tourism Sector
NEGATIVE
 People are more dependent on
using technology
 It can cause serious health
conditions if it is abused.
 A lot of people are more isolated
and feel more alone.
NEGATIVE
 Physical works are limited, and
some are replaced with technology
 Decreasing the number of
occupation accessible for
technically skilled workers
 Workers are more prone to
experience burn outs
 POSITIVE NEGATIVE

 Improved service and customers  It caused unemployment for a lot of

experience
 It makes it easier for customers to
make online booking.
 It can be used to search
information’s about the hotels,
places, flights, etc.
workers because some hotels are
replacing them with robots or AI.
 It can affect a destination's image
through unfavorable reports online.
 Technology might replace some
tourist spot such as historical places.

2. Based on the video presentation briefly discuss the significant events in the evolution of
computers.
- People have invented computers from generation to generation, and Charles Babbage
who is also known as the father of computers, is the first person that created or invented
mechanical computer in the year, 1822. Charles Babbage invented the mechanical
computer because it is intended to compute mathematical calculations. Vacuum tubes
were invented in the first generation of computers, in the year 1942 and 1955, and are
used to transfer data in the form of electric impulses. The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Calculator) was a computer of the first generation. From 1956 to 1964,
the 2nd generation computers employed transistors, which are smaller than vacuum
tubes. This allows computers to be smaller, less expensive, and faster. Furthermore,
from the year 1965 to 1975, the 3rd generation computers used integrated circuit which
are small, but can function as fast as thousands of them, making computers faster,
cheaper, and consuming less electricity. Microprocessors, which are small silicon chips
with thousands of circuits, were utilized in 4th generation computers from the year 1975
until the present. Lastly, the most advanced computers are the 5th generation
computers, which are the future.
