 INTRODUCTION

The advent of science and technology brought progress not only

in our country but in the entire world. Its development
determines to a large extent the socio-economic progress of a
country. It is a well-known fact that it is directly associated with
modernity and is an essential tool for rapid development and
progress of a country.

 IMPACT OF
TECHNOLOGY
ON SOCIETY
Technology by itself is not
harmful to society, but the
way society uses technology
to achieve specific goals is
what results into negative
impacts of technology on the
society.
TECHNOLOGY: Boon or Bane?
“Technology a BOON or BANE?”

A BLESSSING or a
CURSE ?
 TECHNOLOGY IS BOON

Technology is a blessings for a man.

There are many ways that we could not do
without technology.

Technology contributes much to the

improvement of the teaching-learning
process and to the humanization of life.
Examples:
Examples:
 TECHNOLOGY IS BANE

When not used properly, technology becomes a detriment to

learning and development.
Examples:

It can destroy relationships.

Examples:

Erode marital relationship

 REMEMBER
“ Technology is made for Man, not
Man for Technology”.

“Technology is made for Teacher’s,

and not Teacher’s for Technology”
 GOVERNMENT LAWS,
POLICIES, PLANS AND
PROJECTS PERTAINING
TO SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to:

• Describe the science and technology environment from 1986-

2016;
• Identify government laws, policies, plans and projects pertaining
to science and technology.
• Have a glimpse of the status of science and technology and
plans for its development under President Rodrigo Roa Duterte;
and
• Appraise their contribution to the development of science and
technology in the country.
 INTRODUCTION

The role that science and technology has played in improving

the life and conditions of people in the world is vivid. Because
the Philippines is a developing country, the status of science
and technology in our country is still below par when compared
with countries like Japan and USA. There is a great need
therefore to enact more laws and strengthen existing ones to
improve science and technology including research and
development in the country.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT
