Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. know the different technological advancements in society.
2. describe the development of science & technology in
the Philippines;
3. discuss the effects of interplay between technology &
humanity through the dilemma (s) they face.
When Technology and
Humanity Cross
Introduction
• The ever- growing society has made people see
technology, as form of necessity.
• The word technology came from the Greek words techne
& logos, means word and art respectively.
- taking these 2 words together, technology means a
discourse on arts. (Butchanan,2010)
- techne became popular in 17th century because the
concept was only used to talk about arts, specifically
applied arts.
 Evolution of term “ Techne”

• As society evolved and technology

progressed

machines & tools were also attached to

the word “technology”
Technology as an inevitable part of
the society

• from the simple task at home

• most complex ones ( office,
laboratory)
Question to ponder:

Can you pinpoint a single

activity that does not require the
use of technology?
Celebrities in the field of
Technology
 TV was a product of different
experiments by various people
Paul Gotlieb Nipkow
( Nipkow Disk)
a German student in
thelate 1800's ,successfull
in his attempt to send a
message through wires
with the of rotating metal
disk.
- electric telescope, with
18 lines of resolution.
TV Sets
the ultimate medium for advertisement
placements
( The Manila Times 2014)

92 % of Urban homes & 70% of rural

homes own at least 1 TV set ( Kantar Media)

the current count of households with

TV is 1.,135 million (Noda 2012),
it plays a great role in the lives of the
Filipinos.
 TV was a product of different experiments by various
people

- in 1907, 2 inventors: Created Cathode ray tube (new system

of TV) in addition to Mechanical Scanner System
Allan Archibal Campbell -Swinton Boris Rosing

The Success gave rise to 2

types og TV systems namely:
Mechanical & Electronic
Mobile
Phones

Filipinos love to use mobile phones anytime,

anywhere & more than half of our population own
at least 1 mobile phone regardless of type.
Mobile phones considered a must- have among
young Filipinos (ABS-CBN news 2010)

survey 1 in every 3 Pinoys cannot live without a

mobile phone.
(Ipsos Media Atlas Phils. Nationwide Urban
2011-2012)

Phil.streets are full of people using mobile phones

and there are some Pinoys who even own more
than 1 mobile phone.
Mobile Phones Interesting Background Story

Martin Cooper on April 3, 1973 ( Senior egineer

Motorola)made the first mobile phone call to
rival telecommunications company.

The mobile phone used weighed 1.1 kg & measu

228.6 X 127 X 44.4mm and capable of 30 min. ta
time, took 10 hrs to charge.

In 1983, Motorola made the first commercial

mobile phone available in the public, it was know
as Dyna TAC 8000X (Goodwin, 2016)
Computers and Laptops
have become part of many of
the Filipino households.

Some Filipino families own

more than one computer or
laptop while some own at least
one computer or laptop.

In line with the growing number

of computer & laptop sales,
there has also been a growing
number of internet users in the
Concept of a digital programmable computer

Charles Babbage, a 19th century English

Mathematics professor,designed the
first Mathematical Engine (used as the
basic frameworks for computers).
Analytical Engine

Generally considered the

first computer designed & partly
built by Charles Babbage in
19th century.
Osborne 1 • The first true
portable computer
released in April 1981.
• From that moment on
the evolution of
laptops until the
present time where
various designs and
models are made
available.
A typical household owns at least four of the
following devices:
• mobile phone 89%
• smartphone 33%
• tablet 14%
• desktop39%
• laptops or netbook 37%
• smart TV 4%

 Facts about Filipinos and their use of gadgets
and the Internet

• Mobile phone subscription is at 119 million.

• Filipinos spend approximately 3.2 hrs on mobile and 5.2 hrs on
desktop daily.
• Currently, the Philippines has one of the highest digital
populations in the world.
• There are now 47 million active fb accounts in the Phippines.
• The Philippines is the fastest- growing application market in
Southeast Asia.

Roles played by these Technological Advancements

• platform advertisements & information dissemination

• recreational activity & good stress reliever
• a good way to bond with ones family members.
• primarily used for communication
• games
 Ethical Dilemma Faced by these Technological
advancements

• make their children lazy & unhealthy

• alienation
• moral dilemma
• develop different kind of sickness
• brings virtually closer but not physically

“there are things that technology claims to do but in reality

does not”
A robot is an actuated mechanism
programmable in 2 or more axis with a
degree of autonomy,moving within its
environment, to perform intended tasks

Autonomy in this context, means the

ability to perform intended tasks
based on current state ansd sensing
without human interventions.

IFR, 2012
• Robots may be classified according to its
intended application as:

A. Service robot- performs useful tasks for

humans or equipment excluding industrial
automation application.
B. Personal service robot- used for
noncommercial task usually by lay persons.
Ex: Domestic servant robot, automated wheelchair,
personal mobility assist robot and pet exercising
robot .
• Professional service robot- used for commercial
task, usually operated by a properly trained operator.
Ex: Cleaning robot, delivery robot,firefighting robot,
rehabilitation and surgery robot
• One of the first countries to
develop service robots, as part
of German Federal Ministry
of Education and Research
“ Service Robotics
Innovation Lead Initiative.
• It sponsored a collaborative
project called DESIRE
( Deutche Servicerobotik
Initiative- Germany
Servirobotics initiative)
launched October 1, 2005)
Some of the expected work to be performed by DESIRE

• “Clear up the kitchen table”- all objects on top of

the kitchen table will be moved to where they
belong.
• “ Fill the dishwasher” - dirty dishes will be sorted
correctly into the dishwasher.
• “ Clear up this room- all objects that sre not in
their proper places ll be moved to where they
belong. (Mock, n.d.)
• The first design of
Computer was so BIG
that could occupy the
whole floors of the
Building.
• People started day
dreaming that they
could bring the
devices to any place
they wished.
Earliest conception of robots

• can be traced around 3,000

B.C. from the Egyptians
• waterclocks ( used human
figurines to strike the hour
bells. This mechanical
device was built to carry
specific task regularly.
• from that time on, different
mechanisms were already
built that displayed same
mechanism &
characteristics as the robots
in the present.
• However, the earliest robot
as people know were
created in early 1950,s by
George Devol named
“Unimate” ( from the words
(Universal Automation)
• Unfortunately , his attempt
to sell his product did not
succeed.
• Ever since, people never
stopped their quest in the
field of robotics.
Roles Played by Robotics

• Use to ease the workload

of mankind
• Perform complicated
activities which human
beings are incapable of
doing
• are made for pleasure
( perform activities)
• made to serve as toys.
• Just like people living in
the society robots have
their own set of
characteristics that
define what a good robot
is.
• Isaac Asimov, in 1940's
formulated these laws.
• Law One:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Law Two:
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings
except where such orders would conflict the first law.

Law Three:
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
Ethical Dilemmas Faced by Robotics

• Emotional component
- looking at how fast technology progresses nowadays, it is not
completely impossible for robots to develop emotions. (Evans,
2017)
Question:
- What if robots become sentient? should they be granted with
robot rights?
- Should they have their own set of rights to be upheld,
respected and protected by humans?
Ethical Dilemmas Faced by Robotics

• Safety
- who should be held accountable if someone's
safety is compromised by a robot or the maker/
inventor of the robot? i t is important to know who
should be blame and who should be held
responsible if such thing happens?
• Partial autonomy - includes active human-
robot interaction

• Full autonomy- excludes active human- robot

interaction : it can perform actions or activities
even without a master telling it what should be
done or what should be perform next
(IFR,2012)
Questions to ponder

• Will you agree that robots will be given their own

rights? Why or Why not?
• What is your idea of the AI? Will they surpass human
level intellegence? Why or why not?

• What conclusions can you give on

Robotics and Humanity?

INTRODUCTION
• Society as highly modernized, automated, data-driven, and
technologically advanced.
• According to Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary,
information is “knowledge communicated or obtained concerning a
specific fact or circumstance.”
• Information Age is defined as “period starting in the last quarter of
the 20th century when information became effortlessly accessible
through publications and through the management of information by
computers and computer networks” (Vocabulary.com, n.d.)
• Also called as Digital Age and the New Media Age
• According to James R. Messenger who proposed the Theory of
Information Age in 1982, “the Information Age is a true new age
based upon the interconnection of computers via
telecommunications, with these information systems operating
on both a real-time and as-needed basis. Furthermore, the
primary factors driving this new age forward are convenience
and user friendliness which, in turn, will create user
dependence.”

Information Age to society. It runs on a program that contains the exact, step-
by-step directions to solve a problem.
WHY DO WE USE COMPUTERS?
➢ Speed
➢ Reliability
➢ Consistency
➢ Storage
➢ Communication
➢ Entertainment
 HISTORY OF COMPUTER WHO
INVENTED THE FIRST COMPUTER?
He was an English polymath. A
mathematician, philosopher, inventor, and
mechanical engineer. Babbage originated
the concept of a digital programmable
computer. He was considered by some as
the “Father of the Computer”.

HISTORY OF COMPUTER WHEN DID
BABBAGE INVENT THE FIRST COMPUTER?
He invented the first computer
in 1822.
WHY DID BABBAGE INVENT THE
COMPUTER?
Charles Babbage invented the first computer for the
future use, by developing the minds of people and
changing their lives.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF
THE COMPUTER TO EVOLUTION?
In recent years they have gained significance as they have improved
the efficiency and productivity of work done. Large amounts of
information in industrial and business sectors as well as in the
personal lives are stored on servers. In schools they will help the
learners to comprehend the basic concepts better with the help of
video or audio examples. Also they are used in the medical
industry to help doctors in diagnosing the diseases quickly and
efficiently.
TYPES OF COMPUTER
Personal
Computer(PC)
A multi-purpose computer
whose size, capabilities, and
price make it feasible for
individual use.A single-user
instrument.Were known as
microcomputers.
TYPES OF COMPUTER
Desktop Computer
A personal computer
designed for regular use at a
single location on or near a
desk or table due to its size
and power requirements. It
is described as a PC that is
not designed for portability.
TYPES OF COMPUTER

Laptops
These are portable computers that
integrate the essentials of a desktop
computer in a battery-powered package.
Commonly called notebooks.
TYPES OF COMPUTER
Personal Digital Assistants(PDAs)
Are tightly integrated computers that
usually have no keyboards but rely on a
touch screen for user input.
TYPES OF COMPUTER
Server
Refers to a computer that has been
improved to provide network services
to other computers.
TYPES OF COMPUTER
Mainframes
Are huge computer systems that
can fill an entire room. Used
especially by large firms to
describe the large, expensive
machines that process millions of
transactions everyday.
TYPES OF COMPUTER

Wearable
Computers
Involves materials that are usually
integrated into cellphones,
watches, and other small objects
or places.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB(INTERNET)
WHAT IS A WORLD WIDE WEB?
It is an information space where documents and other web resources
are identified by Uniform Resource Locators(URLs),interlinked by
hypertext links, accessible via Internet.
The internet is a worldwide system of interconnected
networks that facilitate data transmission among innumerable
computers.
Claude E. Shannon
An American mathematician who was
considered as the “Father of Information
Theory”. He worked at Bell Laboratories
and published a paper proposing that
information can be quantitatively
encoded as a sequence of one and
zeroes.
WHY AND WHEN WAS THE
INTERNET DEVELOPED?
It was developed during the 1970’s by
the U S Department of Defense. In
case of an attack, military advisers
suggested the advantage of being able to
operate on one computer from another
terminal.
In the early days, the Internet was used mainly by
scientists to communicate with other scientists.The
Internet remained under government control until 1984.
WHO CREATED THE WORLD WIDE WEB?

English scientist Tim Berners-

Lee invented the World Wide
Web in 1989. He wrote the
first web browser in1990 while
employed at CERN in Switzerland.

Tim Berners-Lee
WHY DID BERNERS CREATE THE
WORLD WIDE WEB?
The web was originally conceived and developed to meet
the demand for automatic information-sharing between
scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
USAGE OF INTERNET TO PEOPLE
Sergey Brin and Larry
Page, directors of a
Standford research project,
built a search engine that
listed results to reflect page
popularity when they
determined that the most
popular result would
frequently be the most
usable.
After talking with family, friends,
and other investors into
contributing $1 million, the
researchers launched their
company in 1998.Google is now
the world’s most popular
search engine, accepting more
than 200 million queries daily.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF
COMPUTER AND INTERNET TOWARD
STUDENTS
Positive Effects:
➢ Makes students life more fast and easy
➢ Enhances students’ general knowledge and IQ level
➢ Improving one’s thinking capability
➢ Improves students’ computer skills
➢ Satisfies students’ curiosity
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF
COMPUTER AND INTERNET TOWARD
STUDENTS
Negative Effects:
➢ Makes students more lethargic
➢ Critical health problems
➢ Laziness
➢ Students cannot concentrate well on their studies
Critics charged that the Internet created a technological
divide that increased the gap between the members of
the higher class and lower class of society.
On one hand, the unregulated and loose nature of
the Internet allowed pornography to be broadcast to
million of homes. Protecting children from these influences
would be difficult. Nowadays, crimes in various forms
are rampant because of the us of social media.
Cyberbullying is an issue that poses alarm worldwide.
Consequently, we need to be aware of the possible harm
and damage due to abuse of these advances in the
Information Age.
