Two types of Television:

• Mechanical Television
• Electronic Television

MOBILE PHONES
- a must have among
young filipinos
(ABS-CBN) news 2010
- 1 out of 3 filipinos saying they cannot live
without phones.
- April 3, 1973
- Martin Cooper
- In 1983, the first mobile phone was release
in the public by Motorola and it was called
Motorola DynaTAC 800x

COMPUTERS AND
LAPTOPS
- also become part of
many of the Filipino
households.
- can be classified into three:
• Charles Babbage
- Designed analytical engine which was use
as basic frameworks of the computers even
at the present time.
- April 1981, the 1st portable computer which
is Osborne 1 was release.
Facts about Filipinos and their use of
gadgets and the Internet (Rappler, n,d):

• Mobile phone subscription is at 119 million.

• Filipinos spend approximately 3.2 hours on
mobile and 5.2 hours on desktop daily.
• Currently, the Philippines has one of the
highest digital populations in the world.
• There are now 47 million active Facebook
accounts in the Philippines.
• The Philippines is the fastest-growing
application market in Southeast Asia.
Roles played by these technological
advancement:

1.Television sets
2.Mobile phones
3.Computer/laptops

- all have different function and roles played in

the lives of the people

1. Television sets
- it is mainly used as a platform for
advertisement and information dissemination.
- it remains to be the most used avenue by
different advertising companies not only in the
Philippines but also all over the world.

2. Mobile phones
- primarily used for communication, it offers
services like texting and calling.

3. Personal computer/laptop
- It still offer a unique features that makes
attractive.
ETHICAL DILEMMA FACED BY THESE
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT

1. Most parents would argue that these

devices make their children lazy and unhealthy
2. Moral dilemma
- they can just easily search the web and go to
different websites without restrictions.
- digging deeper
ROBOTICS AND HUMANITY

- a machine that and

can do the work of a
person and that works
automatically or is
controlled by a computer.

International Federation of Robots (IFR) and

United Nations Economic Commission for
Europe (UNECE) made a task to formulate a
working definition for service robots,
A preliminary extract of the relevant definition
is:

- A robot is an actuated programmable in two

or more axes with a degree of autonomy ,
moving within its environment to perform
entended tasks.

- A service robot is a robot that performs useful

tasks for humans or equipment excluding
industrial automation application.
- A personal service robot or a service robot for
personal use is a service robot used for a
noncommercial task usually by lay persons .
Examples are automated wheelchair ,
personal mobility assist robot .

- A professional service robot or a service

robot for professional use is a service robot
used for a commercial task , usually operated
by a properly trained operator. Examples are
cleaning robot for public places , delivery robot
in offices or hospitals or fire fighting robot.
ROLES PLAYED BY ROBOTICS

Law One:
A robot may not injured a human being or
through inaction, allow a human being to come
to harm.
Law Two:
The robots must obey the orders given it by
humans beings except where such orders
would conflict with the first law.
Law Three:
A robot must protect its own existence as
long as protection does not conflict with the
first and second law.
Ethical Dilemmas/s Faced by Robotics
• The safety of robots
• The emotional component
• Partial autonomy and Full autonomy
(Partial autonomy includes active human-
robots while full excludes Active human-robots
interaction)
• Robot Deviated the law specified
• Rights of the robots to be given their own set
of rights should they develop the ability to feel
different kind of emotion.
