Assignment 4: Science, Technology and Nation Building
This 5 Technology is fit for the needs of the Filipino people especially to the older.

Automatic lights
Falls are the number one couse of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. And, the older a
person gets the more potential there is for a fall. So, it makes sense that one great way to reduce the
possibilities of a fall is being able to see your way to the bathroom at night. Make that a reality by
installing lights that come on automatically at night when someone goes from the bedroom to the
bathroom. These lights should be set to a lower intensity so as not to startle (or blind) a person in the
middle of the night.

Activity and health monitoring

Technology you can use can take many forms. It can offer an additional level of support and
assistance for older people and their loved ones, without being intrusive. There are many systems on
the market today that can help a loved on stay more independent and help a loved one provide care
for that person. For instance, Grand Care and Independent provide activity and health monitoring,
while also allowing for communication with loved ones. (Among other features.) Systems such as
BeClose and Lively provide activity monitoring to help families know if their loved one is doing
OK.The number of in-home monitoring systems is growing, mainly because it makes sense to help
older people stay safe at home longer. They range in functionality, but most provide essentially the
same core service. Though, many offer additional services, such as minimal home automation,
video conferencing, email and photo sharing.

Tablet computers
Computers are everywhere now and tablets are among some of the most popular. Not only are they
convenient, but they also provide a host of benefits for people of any age. Older people can use
tablets to video chat with friends and family (and grand kids, of course) on apps such as Skype or
FaceTime. There are also apps for tracking appointments, health or medication reminders. You also
have the basic abilities to send and receive photos, email, browsing the Internet, listen to music and
watch movies.

Automated cabinets
Getting to things that are on top shelves or in the back of cabinets can be difficult for nearly anyone.
By installing cabinets that automatically lower (or pull out, if you want lower tech) allows a person
to easily reach all the contents. There are several options available in the automated cabinets, which
generally lower straight down or out and down.These cabinets mean no more tip-toeing to reach,
which can reduce the chance of falls and sprains. it also means that you can have your cabinets more
organized (or organized as you like), since you don’t have to place items on one or two shelves so
you can reach them.
Smart phones
Smart phones are everywhere today and older people can experience many benefits from having
one. As you’ve probably heard, there is an app for just about everything.
