Study Notes
Learning Outcomes
- Discuss the interactions between science and technology throughout history
- Discuss how scientific and technological developments affect society and the environment
- Identify paradigm shifts in history
- Articulate ways by which society is transformed by science and technology
Science
- Science is the human attempt to understand the natural world, regardless of practical applications.
Technology
- Technology is the human attempt to change the world by creating helpful products
- Tools, techniques, and procedures are used to apply scientific findings
- Technology derives from Greek words meaning 'art' or 'craft' and 'subject of interest', and is the practical application of knowledge about nature
- It involves imagination and redesign of thought processes to create products for the quality of life
Examples of Technology
- Smartphone
- Laptop
- Electrical appliances
- Machinery
Interactions between Science and Technology (S&T)
- Science explores for the purpose of knowing, while technology explores for making something useful from that knowledge
- Science and technology are interconnected and influence each other
Society
- Society is the sum total of human interactions, including interactions to figure things out and make things.
Effects of S&T on Society
- Science and technology have a significant and growing impact on society
- Advances make life easier, but also raise ethical, aesthetic, educational, and justice-related issues in human conditions
- Science influences society through knowledge and worldviews
- Scientific knowledge and procedures shape how individuals think about themselves, others, and the environment; the effects may be beneficial or detrimental
Interconnections of STS
- Technology alters human behavior
- Technological innovations and scientific inquiry are driven by society
- Science provides insights into technology creation
Historical Development of Science and Technology in the World
- Science and technology have existed since the beginning of human life (approximately 2 million years ago)
- Ancient artifacts (roughly shaped stones) were used for chopping and scraping (ancient times)
- Mesopotamian cultures (around 400 BC) recorded disease symptoms, chemical substances, and astronomical observations
- Nile Valley of Egypt (same period) had evidence regarding wound treatment, diseases, and mathematical calculations (geometry and trigonometry, volumes of pyramids)
Rise of Philosophers
- Euclid: known as the "Father of Geometry" for laying geometrical principles (work Elements)
- Archimedes: renowned mathematician, physicist, engineer; contributed to mechanics, accurately approximating pi, and inventing tools like the Archimedean screw and pulley systems
During Ancient Times
- People developed and utilized tools, machines, and techniques without fully understanding their working mechanisms or composition
Early Middle Period (after the fall of the Western Roman Empire)
- Invasions of the Roman Empire (100-500 CE)
7th Century
- Islamic technology emerged with advancements in paper-making, steel manufacturing, building construction, and scientific instruments
8th Century
- Rise of Charlemagne; intellectual, scientific, and technological advancements were driven by the Christian faith, and discoveries in medicine and botany occurred
Philosophers
- Plato, Aristotle, Albertus Magnus (Albert the Great), and Roger Bacon made significant contributions to science and philosophy in different periods
Modern Times
- Today, there are many scientific and technological advancements enhancing daily activities in the Philippines
- Technological developments range from simple tools to complex systems like artificial hearts
Historical Development of Science and Technology in the Philippines
- Indigenous technology existed prior to the Spanish arrival
- Filipinos created shipbuilding technologies for transportation and fishing (1000 AD)
- Filipinos used artillery, bows, spears, and swords in battles against the Spanish (16th century)
- Science and technology in the Philippines progressed during the American colonial period, with the establishment of public schools and universities. This led to teaching scientific knowledge and many technological advancements
Questions
- How has technology enhanced the quality of life for Filipinos?
- What are some negative effects of technological advancement in the Filipino community?
