LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this chapter, the students should be

able to:

1. determine the human and social impacts of

the developments in the information age;

2. discuss the evolution of technology from the

ancient times up to the present; and

3. illustrate how social media have affected

their lives.

 SEATWORK
1. How is it possible that one’s idea can simultaneously exists in
one’s mind and in another?
2. Does the power of communicated words come from the speaker, who
is the thinker and the source, or from the listener, who is the recipient
of the communication? Explain your answer.
3. Social media also poses certain risks especially in the dissemination of false
information. As a student, how will you use social media to ensure that
you do not propagate inaccurate and unreliable information?
4. How can we be sure that technology share knowledge and truth?
5. We live in an age where most, if not all of us use technological
devices all day, everyday. Is technology taking over our world? Explain
your answer.
What is information?
Technology as a source of information

• Do they all
provide
information or just
noise?
• How can we be
sure that
technology share
knowledge and
truth?
INFORMATION
• A word is a combination of sounds that represent
something. It is this significance which makes words distinct from
just any kind of vocal utterance. Words are made up of sounds
and yet they transmit something more significant. They transmit a
message. The words are "informed" because they carry
"information“.

• Words are informed with meaning given by the speaker and

intended for the listener. Simply put, they communicate meaning.

Human’s quest for understanding the

natural world was first done through
naming and classifying objects.
INFORMATION

• facts about a situation, person,

event, etc.:
• facts provided or learned
about something or
someone.
• what is conveyed or
represented by a particular
arrangement or sequence of Information is
things. processed, organized
• communicate meaning and structured data.
THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE
LANGUAGE:

• the principal method of human

communication

• a structured system of
communication

• traditionally seen as consisting Cuneiform is the first known form of

of three parts: signs, meanings, written language, but spoken
language predates writing by at
and a code connecting signs least many tens of thousands of
with their meanings. years.
THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE
A Glimpse from Ancient Greeks
Words can function across space and time
without reducing their meaning.

Thinking in terms of a common system being

generated by a speaker and received by the
listener is useful in the pursuit of knowledge.

The scientific search for truth recognized

the usefulness of language and the ability
it gave to make sense of nature.

can use the remaining time to have a break.
MATHEMATICS AS THE LANGUAGE OF NATURE

Technology in the modern world is the

fruit of science.

Since people have discovered the laws and

language of nature, they can develop
technology that uses these laws and
languages for their benefits.

This is mathematics, the great

contribution of Isaac Newton.
Sir Isaac
NewtonEnglish mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian and author
who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of
all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution.
Mathematics is the study of pattern and structure.
Mathematics is fundamental to the physical and
biological sciences, engineering and information
technology, to economics and increasingly to the
social sciences.
Mathematics in our
World

Looking at simple things deeply, finding a pattern, and using the

pattern to gain new insights provides great value.
The Technological World
Technological World

• describes a world
that is based in
science and
applied to
everyday life to
solve problems.
 The Printing Press

• a German
blacksmith,
goldsmith, inventor,
printer, and
publisher who
introduced printing
to Europe with the
printing press.
Johannes
Gutenberg
The Printing Press
• preservation of words.
• transform cultures
• its development in 15th
Century is regarded
as the beginning of a
true revolution.
• allowed words and
scientific ideas to
establish a view of
nature anchored in
scholarly works and
studies.
Information Age
ENIAC Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer)
was the first programmable,
electronic, general-purpose
digital computer made in
1945. It was Turing-complete
and able to solve "a large
class of numerical problems"
through reprogramming.

Turing-complete
A system (computer system,
programming language, etc.) that
can be used for any algorithm,
regardless of complexity, to find a
solution. Source(s): NISTIR 8202
 www The World Wide Web
• A way of addressing data processing and information
sharing needs among scientists for the European
Organization for Nuclear Research.

• (WWW) is combination of all resources and users on

the Internet that are using the Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP).

• "The World Wide Web is the universe of network-

accessible information, an embodiment of
human knowledge.“
Information Age
• began around the 1970s and is still going on
today. It is also known as the Computer Age,
Digital Age, or New Media Age. This era brought
about a time period in which people could access
information and knowledge easily.
Information Age
• a historic period in the 21st century characterized
by the rapid shift from traditional industry that the
Industrial Revolution brought through
industrialization, to an economy based on
information technology.
The Industrial Revolution
1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0

The phrase Fourth Industrial Revolution was first introduced by

a team of scientists developing a high-tech strategy for the
German government. Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the
World Economic Forum (WEF), introduced the phrase to a wider
audience in a 2015 article published by Foreign Affairs.
 First Industrial Revolution

• marked by a transition from hand

production methods to machines
through the use of steam power
and water power.

• Its effects had consequences on

textile manufacturing, which was
first to adopt such changes, as
well as iron industry, agriculture,
and mining
 Second Industrial Revolution

• also known as the Technological

Revolution, is the period between
1871 and 1914

• installations of extensive railroad

and telegraph networks

• increasing electrification allowed

for factories to develop the
modern production line.
Second Industrial Revolution

• allowed for faster transfer of

people and ideas

• a period of great economic growth

• with an increase in productivity, a

surge in unemployment since
many factory workers were
replaced by machines.
Third Industrial Revolution
• the Digital Revolution, occurred in
the late 20th century
• slowdown of industrialization and
technological advancement
• started with production of the Z1
computer, which used binary
floating-point numbers and
Boolean logic
The Z1 was a motor-driven
mechanical computer designed by
Konrad Zuse from 1936 to 1937,
which he built in his parents' home
from 1936 to 1938.

Third Industrial Revolution
• The next significant development
in communication technologies
was the supercomputer

• with extensive use of computer

and communication technologies
in the production process

• machinery began to abrogate the

need for human power.
Fourth Industrial Revolution
• the trend towards automation and
data exchange in manufacturing
technologies and processes

• includes cyber-physical systems

(CPS), IoT, industrial internet of
things, cloud computing, cognitive
computing, and artificial
intelligence.
