WHEN TECHNOLOGY

AND HUMANITY CROSS

MR. PETER PAUL R. PERUDA, LPT
 INTRODUCTION
• Technology came from the Greek words techne
and logos which mean art and word respectively.
• Technology means a discourse on arts.
• In 17th century, the concept was only used to talk
about arts specifically applied arts.
• As technology progressed, the concept have a
wider range of meaning, it includes the concept of
machine and tools.
• Technology has a crucial role to everyone.
• The society is directly or indirectly affected by
technology.
• Most people survive because of great reliance to
technology.
• Some will say they are not greatly affected, the fact
cannot be denied that technology is already
inevitable part of the society.
• Technology these days enjoy such fame
and glory.
• Technology does not bring only
convenience but also pleasure and
happiness.
• Technology provide assistance to humans
activities.
• Technology becomes necessities
 IN GENERAL……

•Technology keeps on progressing

because of the brilliance,
creativeness, and power of the mind.
TELEVISION SETS, MOBILE
PHONES, COMPUTERS,
AND HUMANITY
• 92 percent of rural home own at least one
television set. (Kantar Media)
• Television remains to be the ultimate medium
for advertisements placements (The Manila
Times, 2014).
• Filipinos are believed to have big fascination
for television.
• The current count of households with
television set already reached 15.135 million.
(Noda, 2012)
 TELEVISION
• Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student, in the late 1800s, attempt to
send images through a rotating disk.
• This invention was called “electric telescope” that had 18 lines
resolution.
• In 1907, Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton and Boris Rosing,
created a new system of television using cathode ray tube in addition to
the mechanical scanner system.
• Two types of television systems, namely: mechanical and electronic
television.
 MOBILE PHONES
• More than half of the Filipino population own at least one
mobile phone.
• 67 percent product ownership in the country. (Synovate)
• Mobile phones are considered a must-have among young
Filipinos.
• One in every 3 Filipinos cannot live without a mobile
phone or 30 percent of the Philippine urban population
nationwide said that mobile phones are necessities.
• Philippine streets are full of
people using their mobiles
phones.
• Some Filipinos who even own
more than one mobile phone.
 MOBILE PHONES
• On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, a senior
engineer at Motorola, made the world’s first mobile
phone call.
• The mobile phone used by Cooper weighed 1.1
kilograms and measured 228.6 x 127 x 44.4 mm.
• The device was capable of a 30-minute talk time.
• It took 10 hours to charge.
• In 1983, Motorola made their first commercial
mobile phone.
• It was known as the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X
• In 2010, 3.6 trillion, estimated the total
value output of all manufacturing
establishments.
• 5.4 percent of the total value output
came from computers and peripheral
equipment and accessories. (PSA
2013)
• A growing number of computer and
laptop sales, there are also been
growing number of internet users.
CHARLES BABBAGE
• A nineteenth-century English
Mathematics professor
• Designed the Analytical
Engine which was used as the
basic framework of the
computers.
• The first design of computer was so big
that it could occupy whole floors of
buildings.
• The transition from personal computer to
a laptop was only a matter of design, an
improvement and a little deviation from
the standard design of a personal
computer.
• In April 1981, the first true portable
computer was released it is called
Osborne 1.
 A TYPICAL HOUSEHOLD OWNS AT LEAST
FOUR OF THE FOLLOWING DEVICES
• Mobile phone 89%
• Smartphone 53%
• Tablet 14%
• Desktop 39%
• Laptop or netbooks 37%
• Smart TV 4%

• These data prove the deep-seated fascination of Filipinos to different technological

devices.
 HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT
FILIPINOS AND THEIR USE OF
GADGETS AND INTERNET
• 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
ADVANCEMENTS
 TELEVISION
• Used as platform for advertisements and
information dissemination.
• Serves as recreational activity and good stress
reliever
• Television also is a good platform for different
propagandas and advocacies.
• Also be a good way to bond with one’s family
member.
 MOBILE PHONES
• Used for communication
• Offers services like texting and calling
• To surf the internet and to take pictures
Other applications
• Music player
• Calendar
• Radio
• Television
• Photo editor
PERSONAL COMPUTERS AND
LAPTOPS
• Surf the internet and communicate
• Calendar
• Calculator
• Music player
• Movie player
• Camera
ETHICAL DILEMMA
 ETHICAL DILEMMA
• Lazy and unhealthy
• They do not just skip meals sometimes but also lack exercise or any
bodily movements.
• People have the tendency to be unaware of the time
• They will get mad or annoyed
• Alienation
• Moral dilemma
• Develop different kinds of sickness
 RESPONSIBILITY

ROBOTICS AND
HUMANITY
 ROBOTS

• Robots are now widely used

• They are called service robots.
• Robots do specific tasks mainly in
assisting their masters in their
everyday tasks.
 THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF
ROBOTICS (IFR) AND UNITED NATIONS
ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE
(UNECE)

• Task to formulate a working definition for service robots.

• A preliminary extract of the relevant definition is (IFR, 2012)
• A robot is an actuated mechanism programmable in two
or more axes with a degree of autonomy, moving within
its environment, to perform intended tasks.
• Autonomy in this context means the ability to perform
intended tasks based on current state and sensing
without human intervention.
• A service robot is a robot that performs useful tasks for
humans or equipment excluding industrial automation
application.
• Note: a robot may be classified according to its intended
application as an industrial robot or a service robot
• A personal service robot or a service robot for personal
use is a service robot used for a noncommercial task,
usually by laypersons.
• Examples are domestic servant robot, automated
wheelchair, personal mobility assist robot, and pet
exercising 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, fire fighting robot, rehabilitation robot, and surgery robot in
hospitals.
• In this context, an operator is a person designated to start, monitor, and
stop intended operation of a robot or a robot system.
 GERMANY
• One of the first countries to develop service robots.
• Part of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research’s
“Service Robotics Innovation Lead Initiative.”
• It sponsored a collaborative project called DESIRE (Deutsche
Servicerobotik Initiative-Germany Service Robotics Initiative)
• Launched on October 1, 2005
 DESIRE HAS THE FOLLOWING
INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES
• To achieve a technological edge toward attaining key functions and
components that are suited for everyday use.
• To create a reference architecture for mobile manipulation
• To promote the convergence of technologies through integration into a
common technology platform.
• To conduct pre-competition research and development activities for new
products and technology transfer in start-up enterprises in the field of
service robotics.
 SOME OF THE EXPECTED WORK
TO BE PERFORMED BY DESIRE

• “clear up the kitchen table”

• “fill the dishwasher”
• “clear up this room”
• The earliest conception of robots can be traced around 3000 B.C. from
the Egyptians.
• Water clocks used human figurines to strike the hour bells.
• Mechanical device was built to carry out specific physical task regularly.
• From that time on, different machines were already built to displayed the
same mechanism and characteristics as the robots.
• The earliest robots as people know them were created in the early 1950s
by George Devol. ‘’ Unimate’’. Was his first invention from the words
‘’ Universal Automation’’.
 ROLES PLAYED BY ROBOTS
• Used to ease the workload of mankind
• To make life more efficient and less stressful
• They perform complicated activities which human beings are incapable
of doing
• They perform the simplest tasks at home so that their masters can
perform the complex ones without stressing themselves over the simple
tasks.
• Perform activities to entertain people
• Serve as toys
• Robots that can be seen in the movies
 LAWS OF ROBOTS
ISAAC ASIMOV , 1940
• Law One: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction,
allow a human being to come to harm.
• Law Two: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except
where such orders would conflict with the first law
• Law Three: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the first and second law.
 ETHICAL DILEMMAS FACED BY
ROBOTICS

• One of the dilemmas faced by robots is safety.

• Emotional component
 PARTIAL AUTONOMY
• Includes active human-robot interaction
FULL AUTONOMY
• Excludes active human-robot interaction
