Now, that you know the essential Historical Antecedents of Science and Technology
from the different periods up to the Philippine inventions. Let us try to check your
understanding of these historical antecedents. In the space provided, write the correct
words or terms needed to answer the following statements:
Communication 1. In ancient times, these were also essential in their endeavors to

discover and occupy new places.
Sumerian Civilization 2. A civilization known for their high degree of cooperation with
one another and their desire for great things.
Conservation of Life 3. Was the ancient people's primary challenge though they were
successful in harnessing the rich resources that the world could provide?
Hieroglyphics 4. The early writing system of the Egyptians which they believed it was
provided to them by their gods by using symbols.
Sumerian Civilization 5. The location of this civilization is on the southernmost tip of
ancient Mesopotamia, and one of their major contributions is the development of the
first writing system known as cuneiform.
Greek Civilization 6. Known as the birthplace of western philosophy, some of the major
achievements they contributed much to the world were in science and technology.
Roman Civilization 7. Known to be the strongest political and social entity in the west
and looked up by other civilizations as their model in terms of legislation and codified
laws.
Gazettes 8. It is the first newspaper of Romans that contained the Roman Empire’s
announcements to their people, and it was engraved in metal or stone and publicly
displayed.
Middle Ages 9. A period was wars; massive invasions and migrations were prevalent.
Technology is important in the field of weaponry, navigation, mass food, and farm
production and health.
Pasteurization 10. The process of heating the product to kill the harmful bacteria that
allow them to spoil faster.

Getting acquainted with the science and technological developments in different periods
is not enough. What also matters is you should also be able to explain its relationships
to the lives of the people as we go over the advancements towards the future. I will let
you define your answers thoroughly.
1. How did the development in science and technology shape human history? You
set/mention some examples to defend your answer.
Technology has fundamentally altered the way humans live and, as a result, has
molded human history. Telephones, the Internet, and engines allow people and
products to travel considerably more quickly, and we can converse immediately
throughout the world. For instance, the telephone before people used post cards, and
used to write letters to communicate people miles away from them. It takes days or
weeks to receive and send letters. Telephone made people’s communication way better
and faster.
2. How science and technology affect society?

Technology has improved in many aspects of our life, rendering information more
attainable, enhancing communication, and transforming transportation. Although it is
simple to sit back and enjoy the benefits of technology breakthroughs, it is critical that
we do not become oblivious to their impacts on society. Science has an impact on
society because of its information and perspective. Many people in society have their
opinions about themselves, others, and the environment influenced by scientific
information and techniques.
3. Do you agree with these continuous developments? Why or why not?

I agree with its continuous developments. Science and technology are integral
components of our daily lives. We wake up to the sound of our alarms in the mornings
and relax to bed upon turning out the lamps at evening. All of the comforts that we can
buy are a product of science and technology. Most significantly, we could just achieve
all of this in such a short period of time due of advances in science and technology. It's
difficult to fathom our lives without science and technology. Moreover, our very survival
is now dependent on it. Each day, technological advances emerge that make human
existence better and greater convenient. As a result, we live in a scientific and
technological period.
In a Nutshell
Activity 1. Studying and learning the historical antecedents in the course of science and
technology, especially in the present time, is relevant to appreciate and to be able to get
ideas on how it changed and improved people's life. It constitutes a different impact to
have a convenient experience and to leads to aiming for development continuously.
Thus, we cannot deny that we owe the early people’s ideas to come up with high
technology applications.
1. The technological breakthroughs of the 21 st century will emerge from wholly new
industries centered on microprocessors, telecommunications, biotechnology, and
nanotechnology. Products are revolutionizing business operations throughout the
industry, and also the lives of all those who may benefit from them. The most significant
innovations will result from the interplay of ideas and applications generated by the
convergence of these technologies.
2. Science and technology antecedents are causes that prepared the way for today's
appearance of significant and comprehensive scientific and technological
developments.
3. Technology has fundamentally altered the way humans live and, as a result, has
molded human history. Telephones, the Internet, and engines allow people and
products to travel considerably more quickly, and we can converse immediately
throughout the world.
