c) Modern Times;

telephone, an instrument designed for the simultaneous transmission and reception of the
human voice. The telephone is inexpensive, is simple to operate, and offers its users an
immediate, personal type of communication that cannot be obtained through any other
medium. As a result, it has become the most widely used telecommunications device in the
world. Billions of telephones are in use around the world.

d) Filipino inventions and describe each with pictures, emphasizing the inventor, year
invented and its uses. ( Inventions not mentioned above.)
1. Yo-yo The word yo-yo is an Ilocano word which means "come back".
It was a weapon that had been used by natives for 400 years. However,
the lethal version was large and had sharp edges and studs. It was also
attached to thick 20-feet long ropes for flinging at enemies or prey.
The modern version was designed by a law undergraduate named,
Pedro Flores. It was made of lighter materials (wood and cotton stings)
and was mass produced in the United States.
2. Erythromycin
Erythromycin, is a macrolide antibiotic that was sold as an alternative to penicillin. This was
discovered by Abelardo Aguilar, a doctor who observed the antibacterial actions of the
Aspergillus species of fungi in his hometown in Iloilo. He then sent samples to his employer,
Eli Lilly Co. The antibacterial action was further developed by the Indiana-based company
which marketed the antibiotic under the brand name Ilosone, in honor of the place where it
was discovered. Sadly, Abelardo died in 1993 without being recognized or rewarded royalties
for this significant contribution.

3. Medical Incubator
An improvised medical incubator was invented by pediatrician Fe del Mundo. This was made
up of two native laundry baskets of different sizes placed one inside the other. Hot water
bottles were placed all around between them to provide warmth. There was also a makeshift
hood over the overlapping baskets to allow oxygen to circulate within. It was created to
address the needs of rural areas with no electricity that is needed to regulate newborn babies'
body temperature.

4. Karaoke
The musical inclination of Pinoys has spurred Roberto del Rosario to invent the karaoke sing-
along system. Karaoke is actually a Japanese term which means to sing along to a popular
record with its original vocals removed. His sing along system was a compact audio device
that had a microphone, an amplifier speaker, cassette tape mechanisms, a microphone mixer
that had features that enhanced voice, and an optional radio tuner. This machine was
originally designed as a teaching device for students enrolled in voice lessons.
5. Quink Quick Drying Ink
The Quink quick drying ink' was invented by Francisco Quisumbing, a chemist. It was an
innovative ink at that time and was further developed to work with Parker Pens. Aside from
being quick drying, it was also water-resistant, did not clog the pen opening, does not blot
and will not fade. It was manufactured in four colors - black, green, red and blue. It is
considered as one if the best selling ink for fountain pens of the millennium.
 b. In your own opinion, how did science and technology shape the society and how
did the society shape science and technology?
The human potential for observation and socialization should be the starting point for
the link between society and science. Society creates issues, and science is one
reaction to those issues. Science addresses issues, yet the answers to those problems
will cause problems in society. We have a live interaction between science and
society in this sense. In the interaction between science and society, a living
relationship essentially means that three basic things are always occurring:
replication, metabolic, and growth.

2. Choose one invention from your answer in question 1. Describe it in 100 to 200
words that specifically addresses the following question (with picture)
-I Choose Medical incubator

a. What is the invention?

- making major breakthroughs in immunization and in the treatment of jaundice,
and providing healthcare to thousands of poor families. She is credited with
studies that led to the invention of the incubator and a jaundice relieving
device
 b. What are the precursors of your chosen invention? What tools existed prior to it or
how did people carry out activities before its invention?
- The discovery of the incubator in 1880 sparked a flurry of public and
professional interest in the promise of lowering newborn mortality
rates. Over the next 50 years, however, technology moved slowly and
unevenly. The topic is interesting not so much in terms of
technological advancement as it is in terms of how responsibility for
the baby migrated from mothers to obstetricians and then doctors. It
also demonstrates how technology history is more than just invention.
The construction of a system to support the incubator was more
important than the invention of the incubator itself.

c. What were the social, political, cultural or economic contexts in which the invention
was made?

She invented an incubator made of bamboo.vIn a bid to help families in rural communities
without electricity, del Mundo invented a bamboo incubator in 1941. According to a
biographical report on del Mundo by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, the
physician’s makeshift incubator was composed of two native laundry baskets made of
bamboo. Made of different sizes, the baskets were “placed one inside the other.”

3. If you were an inventor, what would you invent? On a piece of bond paper, sketch a
draft of your invention then answer the questions below.
a. What is your invention? What does it do?
My invention is watering plant. A self watering plant which you program so it set off
at the right time.
b. How is your invention similar to or different from the existing tools or technologies in
terms of function?
- Watering plant similar though because of its transpiration the process of water
movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as
leaves, stems and flowers.
c. Why is there a need for this invention? How will this invention make the world a
better place to live in?
- It is needed for what we called “plantita’s and plantitos” They needed it in
order to avoid having difficulty watering their plants. And It will make life
easier so people don’t kill their plants.
