ACTIVITY # 3
HISTORICAL ANTECEDENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
NAME: Nuique, Ma. Edelyn M.
DATE: 03/23/22
I. Directions: Watch an 18-minute TEDx talk by Hannu Rajaniemi, The Big History of Modern
Science (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcWsjlGPPFQ&t=104s).
Write a short essay on the topic, “Why is it important to study the history of Science and
Technology?” based on what you have learned from the video. (Minimum of 500 words)

MY ESSAY:
Is it critical to study the history of science and technology? From the discoveries made by
our scientists. One of these is how the universe expands, and according to the video I
watched, Einstein discovered how the universe became so large. Our scientists are also
interested in the small things in the universe. Also, because of our scientists, we can see
what we couldn't see before because there are a lot of inventories and we should know
how things are made, how small things expand, and there are a lot of benefits to knowing
where things came from. There are numerous benefits to understanding the history of
science and technology and how it applies to our lives. The complicated things become
simple with the help of our inventors' technologies, as shown in the video I watched. It
was previously difficult to identify human skin cells, but with the help of computers, we
can read DNA easily. In the video I watched, the speaker gives an example of how
technology helped to make complicated things simple. Studying technology can help us
strengthen our bonds with others. As time passes, there are many new inventions and
things that people should be aware of, not just the things that inventors have created, but
also how it all began. It will grow as a result of studying the history of science and
technology. We can also learn about the intricacy of our own nature, as well as the
universe's challenging difficulties. In some ways, embracing complexity is a way to deal
with it. And one of the most important things I've learned from viewing the film is
Einstein's statement, "Keep things as simple as possible, because there is no simpler,"
which is a solid rule. Everything in this world has been discovered by our innovators, and
we may learn more about it by studying the history of science and technology. We can
investigate things, envision things, and it's no surprise that science's past allows us to
imagine and find new things. As a student, one of the most important things to learn is the
history of science and technology. It is important because we can study the past with the
help of science and technology, and the history of the past can be easier to define or
understand because difficult things can become simpler with the help of technology.
Finally, studying the history of science and technology might assist us in maturing, which
is the most significant stage of our life.
