"Those Who Do Not Learn

History Are Doomed To

Repeat It." - Sir Winston Churchill
• It is defined as a precursor to the unfolding or
existence of something.
• Antecedents of science and technology are factors
that paved way for the presence of advanced and
sophisticated scientific and technological innovations
today.
• We can use the historical developments of science
and technology to come up with proper decisions
and applications of science and technology to daily
life.

HISTORICAL
ANCIENT MODERN
ANTECEDENTS
• Ancient civilization paved the way for advances in science
and technology.

• These advances during the ancient period allowed civilizations to

flourish by finding better ways of communication, transportation,
self- organization and ways of living.
• People from
ancient civilization
used animals as
means of
transportation.
• The invention of
ancient wheel is
credited to the
POTTER’S WHEEL ANCIENT WHEEL
• Around 3000 B.C., the ancient
Egyptians began writing on a
papyrus.

• It is made up from a pith of

plant called cyperus papyrus.
• Before the invention of
papyrus, writing and
record-keeping is done on
stones and tablets.
 • A tool used and invented
by ancient Egyptians to
irrigate land.
• It is a
hand-operated
device used for
lifting water.
• Its invention introduced
the idea of lifting things
using counterweights.
• Discovered in 1902 and
retrieved from the waters
of Antikythera, Greece.
• It is a mechanism similar
to a clock for it has a
circular face and rotating
• hands.
It is believed that this
mechanis is used to
predict
m astronomical
positions and eclipses.
• It is also known as the
Hero’s engine.
• It is a steam-powered
which spins as the water
turbine
container at its center
heated. is
• At first, it doesn’t served any
practical purpose. It is
believed to be one of the
“temple wonders” at that
time.
• The major advances in scientific and technological development
took place in this period.
• These advancements include constant increase if new
inventions, innovations in traditional production and the
emergence of scientific thinking and method.
“The heavy plough turned European
agriculture and economy on its head.
The fields with heavy, fatty soil
became those that gave the greatest
yields.”
- Prof. Thomas
Andersen

- Because of the invention of heavy plough,

northern Europe saw rapid economic
prosperity.
-Around 850 A.D., Chinese
alchemists accidentally invented
the gunpowder.
- Prior to the invention of
gunpowder, swords and spears
were used in battles and wars.
- The invention of gunpowder
has allowed advanced warfare
such as fiery arrows, cannons
and grenades.
- Paper money was first used by
Chinese in 17th century.
- Before the introduction of
paper money, merchants and
traders used precious metals
such as gold and silver.

• They realized that using paper

money brought advantages
because it is easier to keep
and transport.
• The development of
mechanical clock helped
the people in accurately
keeping the track of time.
• The sophistication of
clockwork technology
drastically changed the
way of spending the day
and work patterns were
established.
• A machine used to transform
fiber into thread or yarn and
eventually woven into cloth.
• It is theorized that the Indians
are the one invented the
spinning wheel between
and 11th 6th
century.
• It sped up the rate of
manually spinning fiber by 10
to 100 times.
• Historical period when people realized the importance of the
efficiency of transportation, communication and production.

• Industrialization took place but with greater risk onhuman

health, food safety and environment.
• Invented by Galileo Galilei
that can magnify 20 times
larger than a regular
glasses.

• This is used to discover

important astronomical
discoveries such as craters
and mountains in moon.
• Invented by a Dutch
Zacharia Janssen in
s
1590’s.
• Nowadays, microscope
is used in many
scientific studies in the
area of medicine,
forensics and genetics.
• Built by French weaver Joseph
Marie Jacquard which
simplifies textile
manufacturing.
• Prior to this invention, a
drawloom is used which
requires two persons to
operate.
• Invented by Orville Wright and
Wilbur Wright.
• They demonstrated that
slightly- tilted wings are the
key features of a flying
aircraft.
-Invented by Scottish engineer John Logie
Baird in 1920s.

-British Broadcasting Corporation used this

for its earliest television programming in
1929.
-This first television is mechanical and not
the same as the television we have
nowadays.
