Human Flourishing

State a brief history or discovery that brought about the invention or the
discovery of the things stated below.  State their contributions to our scientific
development.

Determine and list down possible alternatives to its growth and development
while promoting sustainable living. 

a. Radio

In 1895, a young Italian named Guglielmo Marconi first developed the

idea of radio, or wireless telegraph. His idea took shape in 1895 when he sent
a wireless Morse code message to a source more than a kilometer away. In
1906, Marconi shared Nobel Prize for physics with Ferdinand Braun, a
German, in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless
telegraphy.

In the field of science communication, radio is the third source of

information, Radio Broadcasts provide real-time information, and some that
broadcasts 24 hours a day. Radio has the ability to reach across borders and
can become a valuable source of information where reliable news is scarce.
Radio help the community be updated on what's currently happening including
issues throughout the world. They let us be wary on conflicts and partnerships
almost about anything primary in life and decide to take actions depending on
how you view a particular event.

Alternative ways of conveying information includes: Wireless Broadcast;

Audio Signal Detector; Entertainment; Broadcast Stereophonic Broadcast,
and many others. We also have a variety of traditional media which includes
outlets such as newspapers, magazines, billboards and many others. These
platforms give practical meanings to the sustainable development goals and
their relevance to daily life.

b. Processed Food

Food processing history began with a variety of preservation and cooking

techniques that are still used today, albeit on a much larger and more efficient
scale. Drying, smoking, and salting were simple food preservation methods
used by some of the earliest civilizations, including Mesopotamia and ancient
Egypt, as early as 9600 BC. These techniques were developed, refined, and
spread throughout the world across many different cuisines from prehistoric
societies to some of the earliest ancient empires, such as ancient Greece,
India, China, and Peru, up to the Middle Ages.

Processed food helps to guarantee food security by ensuring that enough

food is available for everyone. Also included is nutrition security, which
ensures that food quality meets human nutrient requirements. Other functions
of food processing include preventing food from spoiling, preserving desirable
sensory qualities of food (flavor, texture, aroma, and appearance), and
increasing convenience in preparing a complete meal. Food processing can
also help to inhibit or destroy pathogens (disease-causing organisms) that
may contaminate food. Promoting the benefits of processed foods while
maintaining a sustainable lifestyle can be accomplished by using eco-friendly
packaging, reducing food waste, improving energy and water efficiency, and
using sustainable ingredients

c. Microscope

Since individuals have likely been dealing with magnifying lenses ever
since clear glass was established, it is difficult to pinpoint who invented the
first microscope. However, Robert Hooke may have been the first to seriously
advocate for the use of microscopes as scientific tools. Scientist Robert
Hooke enhanced the design of the preexisting compound microscope in 1665
because he was eager to learn more about the microscopic world. Three
lenses and a stage light were employed in his microscope to expand and
illuminate the specimens. With the help of these developments, Hooke was
able to glimpse something amazing when he put a piece of cork under the
microscope. Science has benefited from the discovery of the cell in ways
Hooke could never have imagined in 1665. The discovery of the cell not only
provided us with a fundamental understanding of the components that make
up all living things, but it also paved the way for improvements in medical
technology and therapy. The development of customized medicine, which
would enable us to create stem cells from our own cells and use them to
study disease processes, is now being worked on by scientists. A single
observation of the cork cell led to the development of all of this and more.

Microscopy has been said to as the foundation of modern science.

Despite some early studies of cells and bacteria, the microscope had a
greater impact on zoology and botany than medicine. Important technical
advancements in the 1830s and later addressed faulty optics, making the
microscope a formidable tool for observing microorganisms that cause
disease. This instrument has greatly increased our understanding of the world
in many different fields. More information is being learned every day regarding
the significance of the microscopic environment we inhabit for all life on Earth.

d. Internet

The 1950s in the USA, where the internet first got its start. There were
intense tensions between North America and the Soviet Union at the height of
the Cold War. People lived in terror of long-range surprise strikes because
both nations had devastating nuclear weapons. The US realized it required a
communications infrastructure that would be impenetrable to a nuclear strike
by the Soviet Union. That made the discovery of the internet with the use of
knowledge and skills of various computer scientist.

Internet plays a great role in the scientific development; this became a

valuable tool for research. The Internet offers additional advantages or has
greatly helped scientific research, such as speeding up the literature review
process, making it simple to access necessary journal articles, making it
simple to obtain the most recent information or artifacts, and offering research
platforms.

The traditional broadband connection, which uses copper phone lines to

conduct transactions, is one possible alternative to the growth and
development of the internet. We can always encourage the use of traditional
media like magazines, much as the alternatives to radio. This promotes
sustainable living because it makes communication simple and traditional
broadband is more affordable and available to everyone.
