TOPIC END ACTIVITY #3

Instruction: Give your thoughts on the given question. Elaborate your answer.
Reminder: Use your own words/ideas. Refrain from copying and pasting information
from the internet if not instructed.

1. How the advancements in science and technology can aid and provide
betterment to human life and existence? Explain your answer. (10 points)
Answer:
Technology creates multiple opportunities for every one of us. The
progress in Science and Technology Research intends to improve
approaches to science and technology research, education, promotion, and
other multidisciplinary efforts by promoting greater awareness of the
multidimensional nature of research, industrial, and educational systems as
they relate to the advancement of civilization's and human life's
improvements. The numerous breakthroughs and progress in the field of
science and technology can aid and provide for the betterment of human life
through agriculture, city construction, and travel, among other advantages, as
well as effectively connecting all nations in the world, contributing to
globalization, and making it easier for economies to grow and industries to do
business. Discoveries and innovations in science and technology are not only
to be recorded in history, but also to effect change that will become a more
significant part of the history of humanity.

2. Can technology lead humans to achieving good life? Expound your discussion by
including situations/examples. (10 points)
Answer:
Humanity had a certain way of life even before the various technological
discoveries we have today. These are all evident in how the different ancient
civilizations have lived. However, the technology existed during these times
before the term was coined. For instance, Stone tools were created nearly two
million years ago and are the oldest known technological invention. Following
the development of these stone tools, several objects and materials were
invented at different points throughout human history. Given these historical
records, we can clearly state that technology has led humans to a better life
because, with each invention, a new way of life is discovered, making it easier
for us humans to live our lives daily. In addition, there are now modern
inventions that are useful in the fields of healthcare, agriculture, and legal
services, which serves as additional proof of how beneficial technology is to
society as a whole.

3. Choose one (1) from the seventeen (17) breakthroughs in Science and
