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
