Pollution is one of them. specifically, air pollution
from industries. Exposure to high levels of air
pollution can cause adverse health outcomes such
as infections, diseases, and cancer. Both short and
long-term exposure to air pollutants has been
associated with health impacts. More severe
impacts affect people who are already ill. Children,
the elderly, and poor people are more susceptible.
Based on studies, the most harmful pollutants are the

A. Better quality of work and Greater efficiency
The employment of machines helps to
make office labor more methodical and cleaner.
As a result, the quality of work is improved as a
result of machines. Because bottlenecks and
delays in work are eliminated, and work
proceeds smoothly, machines ensure accuracy
in office work. The employment of a machine
reduces the possibility of errors and fraud. The
employment of a machine speeds up the
completion of tasks. With the assistance of a
machine, tasks that would have taken hours to
complete are completed in a matter of minutes.
The completion of a job on time boosts the
worker's efficiency, which contributes to greater
profitability.
B. Increased Productivity from the Automation
of Agricultural Work
Agricultural machines reduced production
costs by producing more output for the same
input value. As a result, food became more
affordable, and people were less likely to starve
to death. Furthermore, increased productivity
from agricultural automation drove farm workers
to migrate to cities, where they aided the
development and growth of the industrial
economy. Consumption increased as a result of
the creation of new goods and services.
Productivity increased even more as
automation reduced costs, lowering the cost of
transportation, healthcare, education, and
government.
As a result, it is critical to remember that
automation does not have a universal impact on
employment; a machine can be either a
substitute or a supplement to human labor.
Machines supplement labor by allowing workers
to be more productive, but they cannot—at
least

NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF INCREASED
UNEMPLOYMENT FROM LABOR-SAVING NEW
TECHNOLOGIES
A. Robots displace current workers from
their occupations
The researchers discovered that
for every robot introduced per 1,000
workers in the United States, salaries fall by
0.42 percent and the employment-to
population ratio falls by 0.2 percentage
points – a loss of around 400,000 jobs to
date. Robots are a good way to implement
the lean principle in an industry but They
may also contribute to the unsustainable
exploitation of natural resources,
particularly if our reliance on rare metals for
the creation of electronic equipment grows.
B. Occupational Immobility
Occupational immobility occurs
when barriers to the mobility of factors of
production between different sectors of the
economy exist, resulting in these factors
remaining unemployed or being used in
inefficient ways.
The difficulties in learning new
skills applicable to a new industry, as well
as technological change, are examples of
occupational immobility. Unemployed
farmers, for example, may struggle to find
work in high-tech industries. Economists
predict a high level of productivity and
growth when labor mobility is high. Low
skilled labor and workers with more general
or easily transferable skills will tend to have
greater occupational labor mobility.
Regulations have the potential to limit
occupational mobility.
C. Employment Impact
As humanity progresses further
into the future, the more it advances the
more chances that some jobs or some
current jobs will be extinct in the nearby

studies show that only a few people are into
this for there are already a new way to
deliver a message to someone who is free
and faster than what mailman’s do. We can
clearly see that technology is slowly
enveloping our world to make our lives
easier but at the expense of losing more
opportunities to the new generation.
CONVERSION OF AGRICULTURAL LAND INTO
URBAN ARES
• As human population grows the need for housing and
infrastructure also increases. The major effect of this
is conversion of forest and agricultural land to
subdivisions, roads, and many more is decreasing
land for agriculture thus putting the population at risk
for food crisis due to limited land. Scarcity of food
supply is one of the point being put emphasis on the
interview of Ms. Bulawan. which I personally thought
should be consider a major problem to an
exponentially growing population and economy of the
world. We must act now and think solutions to
prevent an accumulating crisis waiting to erupt which
is the food crisis.As what Ms. Lariba interview
pointed out sustainable use and proper utilizing of
our land is the key to lessen risk and improve usage
of land to the extent. I believe also with proper
information dissemination, programs, and laws we
will able to preserve our agricultural land.
• The land is a vital aspect of our existence. One cannot
overestimate its value in agricultural production.
Farmers rely on agricultural land as a source of
income and as a driver of economic growth.
Intensification of agricultural land use has
prompted concerns about the long-term viability of
agroecosystems. It is expected that as intensive
agrosystems expand, they will cause more soil
erosion, a reduction in water resources and an

areas, it may reduce the number of producers, this is
unfavorable for us giving our rising population here
in the Philippines. But there are a lot of interventions
that humans can do to use land efficiently. To avoid
increase in flood and landslide danger. And the
community will suffer from scarcity if this type of
problem is not properly addressed. Modern
technologies affect the conversion of agriculltural
land in urban areas for In your local province,
agriculture is the primary source of employment. In
order to entice foreign investors, the government has
recently chosen to transform farmlands into real
estate and exclusive neighborhood however this
innovation of the modern technology can have
disadvantages just like land use change, however,
does not come without costs since it is in the urban
area, soil erosion, salinization, desertification,
deforestation and lastly, farmers
• We use soil in our everyday life, especially in area of
agriculture. Soil is one of the keys in creating plants
that we use as a food, however even this resources
that can help may also cause disaster. Based on Ms.
Bulawans’ interview, the interviewee said that soil
can help farmers grow rice which can provide food
and wealth to them, and I cannot agree more, since I
also grew in a family household that uses farming as
a form of financial support, however it is also true
that soil can cause disasters. One of the examples
are cutting tress and using the location as a farming
land, when the location is located on mountain this
can cause landslide which is very dangerous to the
people living in that area. We can help lessen this
problem by educating everyone to plant more trees,
in this way the roots of the trees can hold the water
from rains preventing soil erosion that may
landslides.
• Land is an essential resource for us humans. As miss
Zyra stated, agricultural land is a vital source of
wealth generation for farmers. The conversion of
agricultural lands to rural areas shall be strictly
regulated and may be allowed only when the
condition’s prescribed under pertinent laws are
present and complied with. As miss Rusloyd said,
wise and continue to study innovative technologies.
• As a student, we know that the land is important to us
for the future not only so that we can build a house
but also to plant trees, fruit trees, and vegetables so
 that we can get food somehow. Based on Ms.
Bulawan's interview, the interviewer said that flood is
one of the negative impacts, which is true. floods can
occur when strong rains fall, ocean waves crash on
the shore, snow melts quickly, or dams or levees fail.
Flooding can be devastating with only a few inches
of water or it can cover a house up to the roof. But
we can avoid that by planting more trees on the land
since my family owns a land, we can do it. We can
avoid environmental problems by teaching people
the right thing to do and following what is best for our
environment.
• As human as we are, we all know that our population is
getting larger over a non-specific period of time.
Thus, it requires more food and land for building
houses, where some areas are being converted into
residential areas, and it is inevitable. The keys, as
mentioned in Miss Lariba's interview,
sustainability, being smart and intentional in how we
use our lands, and ensuring that our future
generations have enough resources. For us youths,
to prepare a sustainable and future-ready
generation, is to join planting drives in our localities,
making use of our vacant areas in our backyards into
small vegetable or fruit plantation areas and using
our own platforms such as our social media accounts
to spread awareness so that little by little, we can
turn our plans into reality where we can foster a
generation full of hope that sustains their dreams.

• Interviewee 1:
Positive: Today’s generation is really attached with
gadgets. Gadgets have been a great help for everyone,
that it better the life of everyone as it makes things more
efficient, effective and up to date. Gadgets make people
more engaged, helping people to express creatively, and
improves the literacy skill one has. It also gives access to
things like information, and having innovation with
machinery and weaponry.
Negative: In lieu of the benefits we can get from
it, there will always be a negative impact once there is
abuse with its usage. Too much use harms the physical
and mental health. it makes people practice sedentary
life, and develop impaired vision or causes eye strain and

listening skills, sound recognition, and speaking
abilities. If a person's gadget addiction stems from
video games, mastering these games can raise a
person's confidence level. Their addiction develops
into good hand-eye coordination over time. A simple
 device can brighten someone's day. Aside from being
used as a form of entertainment due to the
applications, it is also used to communicate. Modern
technology has enabled us to maintain emotional
connections with one another.
Negative: Although technology allows us to
stay connected with others without physically seeing
them, it can also jeopardize relationships and social
skills because people now prefer to be connected
virtually rather than physically spending time together.
Gadget addiction can also lead to a sedentary lifestyle
because people prefer to spend more time in front of
screens, which is typically done while lounging on the
couch or lying on a bed, rather than engaging in other
physical activities such as walking. Since the person
is exposed to blue light, excessive use of gadgets can
reduce sleep quality. The adverse effects of gadgets
are increased stress, and because humans are less
active, they are more prone to physical disorders.

More screen time means more virtual interactions and
rewards through social media (shares, likes) and less
face time. Less face-to-face interaction with other
people results in lack of empathy for fellow human
beings. As social media glorify picture-perfect lives
and well-toned physiques, children’s self
esteem and self-confidence are eroded. Lack of focus
and more distraction during conversations is another
expected negative impact.
EFFECT OF OVERUSED TECHNOLOGIES IN
MEDICAL INDUSTRY THAT CAN CAUSE FATAL
BIRTHS AND DISEASES
WHAT ARE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
IMPACTS OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE
MEDICAL SETTING?
• According to Mr. Mario Marcojos, the positive impact of
x-ray is very important for the patient who has a
fractured bone. The x-ray was able to help them to
know the extent of the fracture and its severity but
the negative impact of this is that it is not applicable
to women.
DO YOU THINK RADIATION MACHINES SUCH AS X
RAYS CAN HARM A PATIENT'S HEALTH? •
According to Mr. Mario Marcojos, yes because as
what he has said before, a pregnant woman cannot
use the x-ray.
WHAT’S YOUR OPINION ON THE USE OF
TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS RADIATION AND
CHEMOTHERAPY ON PATIENTS?
• According to Mr. Mario Marcojos, the radiation is much
better than chemotherapy because the target of the
radiation only focus in the affected area and other
cells cannot be damage, while chemotherapy is also
useful for a cancer patient but the problem of
technology
improves patient's safety by reducing medication
errors, reducing adverse drug reactions, and
improving compliance to practice guidelines. Doc also
expressed a negative impact which he has seen in his
31 years of medical practice which is the unnecessary
requests like laboratory tests from doctors.
• Moving on to our second interview, Mr. Mario Marcojos
believes that the positive impact of x ray is important
for patients who have fractured bones. X rays are able
to help know the extent of the fracture and as for the
negative impact is that x rays are not applicable to
pregnant women. Our interviewee then asked what is
the opinion on the use of technologies such as
radiation and chemotherapy on patients. According to
Mr. Mario Marcojos, the radiation is much better than
chemotherapy because the target of the radiation only
focuses on the affected area and other cells cannot
be damaged, while chemotherapy is also useful for a
cancer patient but the problem is that healthy cells like
white blood cells will also be affected. According to
Mayo Clinic, the chances of an X-ray during
pregnancy harming your unborn child are quite slim.
In most cases, the diagnostic information obtained by
an X-ray outweighs the risk to a fetus. However, if the
patient had a lot of abdominal X-rays in a short period
of time before you found out you were pregnant, your
kid could be damaged. Two to eight weeks after
conception, high dose radiation may raise the risk of
fetal growth limitation or birth abnormalities. Exposure
between
weeks 8 and 16 might increase the risk of a learning
or intellectual disability.
BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS – A
THREAT TO HUMAN SURVIVAL
POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES
• Biological weapons is defined as the use of biological
toxins and infectious agents, including bacteria,
viruses, and fungi, which incapacitates or causes
injuries to animals, plants, and humans as an act of
war. However, with the use of biological weapons, it
CASTRO, HERNANDEZ, MONTEBON, QUIMNO, SILVA 10
chemical warfare, there are benefits to having these notwithstanding how brutal biological and chemical
weapons. Biological and chemical weapons are
beneficial for self-defense, even if they are mostly
used to harm other countries. If the threat of being
attacked in return exists, a country will be less likely
to invade another. It's also considerably cheaper and
easier to make than a traditional bomb, although
having similar destructive potential. This is excellent
news for countries seeking to cut defense spending.
These weapons have been dubbed the "poor man's
atomic bomb" by some, which is an appropriate
description. It can be regarded as optimum,
can end a war very quickly and is highly efficient. A
few drops of certain bacteria, toxins, and other
agents, can literally kill millions of people once they
hit the water supply or air within a community.
Biological weapons can also be utilized by any nation
due to their ease of production. Any country with a
reasonably advanced medical and
pharmaceutical industry would be capable of mass
producing biological weapons (Ciottone's Disaster
Medicine, 2022).
• Although most countries use it for attacking other
countries, biological and chemical weapons are
useful for self defense. Another country will be less
likely to attack another if the possibility of being
attacked in return is probable. Also for its similar
destructive power, it is much cheaper and easier to
build than the conventional bomb. This is great for
nations who want to reduce their budget for defense
(Baskin School of Engineering, n.d.).
• The advantage of having these kinds of weapons, are
useful for self defense from the enemy that might
harm the peace in the realm. Other threats will be
less because any country most likely avoids waging
attack from another if the possibility of being attacked
in return is probable. It can end a war very quickly.
The relatively low cost of producing many biological
weapons. This is great for nations who want to
reduce their budget for defense. And it can boost a
country’s morale of military power and safety to the
people assuring them that they cannot be depredated
by others (Regoli, 2022).
• Notwithstanding the drawbacks of biological and
warfare might be. Wounding one person, which would
necessitate two other people's attention and care on
the enemy's side, is more dangerous than attempting
to murder one person (Bartholomew, et al, n.d.).
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES:
• Chemical and biological weapons and the word terror
confirms that the purpose of these weapons is to
wreak destruction via psychological means—by
inducing fear, confusion, and uncertainty in everyday
life. On 29 September 2001 paint fumes set off a
 bioterrorism scare at a middle school in Washington
state, sending 16 students and a teacher to the
hospital. On 3 October over 1000 students in several
schools in Manila, Philippines, deluged local clinics
with mundane flu-like
symptoms such as cough, cold, and mild fever after
rumours spread via short text services that the
symptoms were due to bioterrorism. On 9 October a
man sprayed an unknown substance into a Maryland
subway station, resulting in the sudden appearance
of nausea, headache, and sore throat in 35 people. It
was later determined that the bottle contained window
cleaner.
• The long term social and psychological effects of an
episode of chemical or biological attack, real or
suspected, would be as damaging as the acute
ones, if not more so. Even if the short term
consequences of an attack with chemical or
biological weapons turn out to be less than some of
the apocalyptic scenarios currently being aired by the
media, the long term disruptions may be worse than
anticipated (Bartholomew, et al, n.d.).
• Biological and chemical weapons disseminate disease-
causing organisms or toxins to harm or kill humans,
animals or plants. They generally consist of two parts
– a weaponized agent and a delivery mechanism. In
addition to strategic or tactical military applications,
these weapons can be used for political
assassinations, the infection of livestock or
agricultural produce to cause food shortages and
CASTRO, HERNANDEZ, MONTEBON, QUIMNO, SILVA 11
goals are disruption of social and economic activity,
the breakdown of government authority, and the
impairment of military responses. In this present
time, biological warfare is much of a possibility. The
medical community as well as the public should
become familiar with epidemiology and control
measures to increase the likelihood of a calm and
reasoned response in an outbreak should occur
(Bartholomew, et al, n.d.).
REFERENCES
economic loss, the creation of environmental
catastrophes, and the introduction of widespread
illness, fear and mistrust among the public (Regoli,
2022).
• The drawbacks of biological and chemical weapons are
far more obvious than the benefits. One of the
numerous disadvantages of biological weapons is
that they have an inescapable long-term impact. The
weapon has the ability to unleash large epidemics of
fatal infectious illness once it is released. One
example is smallpox, which we no longer have
immunity to, making it nearly
impossible to eradicate. If smallpox were to be
reintroduced into the general public, it might wipe out
millions of people because it is transferred from
person to person at random. Whereas biological and
chemical weapons are simple to get and difficult to
manage, their repercussions may be the most
dangerous attribute. It's unsurprising that people are
terrified by the prospect of such weapons being used
in the future (Riedel, n.d.).
• Infectious diseases were recognized for their potential
impact on people and armies as early as 600 BC, and
became more sophisticated during the 19th century.
Biological weapons are unique in their invisibility and
their delayed effects which allowed those who use
them to inculcate fear and cause confusion among
their victims. A biological warfare attack would not
only cause sickness and death in a large number of
victims, but would also aim to create fear, panic, and
paralyzing uncertainty. Its
