Questions:

1. What is the interrelationship of science, technology and society?

Technology alters how we can behave. Society drives technological innovations
and scientific inquiry. Science gives us insight into what kind of technologies we
could potentially create and how to create them, while technology allows us to
conduct further scientific research.

2. What is the significance of the trip to the museum to STS?

The significance of the trip to the museum in this subject is that even if we are living
in this generation full of technologies we still have to acknowledge the artifacts and
arts of our culture and history.

3. Which of the artifacts do you still have and use at home?

The artifact that we still have used in our home is the banig which we used in
sleeping.

4. Identify an artifact that contributed to the change in the lifestyle of society.

Example: clothes iron
 Before, people don’t iron their clothes; when clothes was introduced,
people started ironing their clothes since they need to look good
when they go to work/school
 Charcoal iron, when electricity was introduced, became electrical iron

Before, people used wood in cooking, after the stove was introduced most of the
people use stove rather thank using wood.
