1. What do you think is the meaning of Science and Technology?
- With the basic knowledge I have and in my own words, Science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things while Technology is the process of putting enhancement and advancement in things we are daily using, like machineries that are product of technology. Using science helps us to understand phenomenon and if lined with technology, we are able to easily know the conclusion and the reason behind it. By having both Science and Technology, it will easily provide us the advancement of living and process of things in the society we are in. By also being aware of its nature and respective purposes, we will help ourselves find the solutions in daily concerning matters. Especially this hard time of pandemic, Science and Technology is considerably the only answer for us to conquer and solve the mystery of this event.
2. What do you expect in this subject in the entire semester?
- As a citizen and human being of this world having and experiencing this crisis and pandemic at my very young age, I am eager and willful to engage myself in science and its nature to know and help the future eras to solve crises like this. I expect that this class will enhance not just my prior knowledge but also my scientific reasoning skills in things that will really affect not just my life but also the life of others. I do hope this subject will remain interesting as the course goes through its plan and it will be filled with much engagement and life realization. We may be lacked off usage of science and technology in our country, and I hope this subject will solve the missing piece I am feeling during the time of response of the government to the crisis for the benefit of the future. Additionally, I like creating theories, and I hope I find things that will help me produce my theories and sort of proving it with science.
