1. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these inventions to the
present era in the delivery of care.
- The last decade, we have witnessed phenomenal development in the area of
technological innovations. There have been holistic inventions in the field of information
technology, medicine, and transportations. Proponents are debating over its advantages
and disadvantages for individuals and to society as a whole. Many argue that it has
paramount benefits which lead to convenient and comfortable lives to mankind, whereas,
others have opposite view stating that it has severe detrimental effects on humans and
societies. First, the evolution of technology is beneficial to humans for several reasons.
At the medical level, technology can help treat more sick people and consequently save
many lives and combat very harmful viruses and bacteria.
- To begin with, there has been enormous positive aspects of using computer systems for
both personal and professional use. Computers have broken the regional boundaries and
make seamless convergence among individuals worldwide, due to which we can learn
about a rich foreign culture. Moreover, we cannot imagine economic development
without the help of computer systems, it has replaced mundane and repetitive task with
the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Furthermore, its capability to do
multitasking and performing complex calculations, managing huge inventories and
processing a large volume of data is proven to be game-changing for businesses
internationally. For instance, Majority of commercial activities are performed on the
computer system from banking to education and from manufacturing to hospitality.
- On the other hand, over usage and dependency on a computer has certain negative
influences on people and society. For example, various research has proved that computer
led automation makes human live sedentary, which makes them lazy and obese.
Additionally, due to over computerization, many countries are facing a significant issue
of employment.

1. Discuss the role of Science and Technology in Philippine nation building
- What are science and technology? Science is the study of knowledge that can be made
into a system that depends on evaluative facts. Technology, on the other hand, is the
practical application of scientific knowledge. Science and technology are essential tools
in every sector of society. A nation lacking in science and technology will forever depend
on those who claim to be the custodians of scientific and technological knowledge, even
if such a country has crude oil. Furthermore, science and technology help in the area of
employment. The role of science and technology is to develop our country all over the
world and hold high regard for science and technology. This prioritization makes the
country Philippines competitive in innovation and self-sustaining development, allowing
the economy to lean on its production, making international trade an icing on its
economic cake. Research and development activities of the DOST has been at the
forefront of initiatives since they are meant to give the country new sources of income
and promote sustainable development. Key areas being targeted are health, energy and
emerging technologies, disaster risk reduction, and national integrated research agenda.

2. Evaluate and critique government policies pertaining to science and technology in terms
of their contributions to nation building.
-Over the last twenty years, the term governance has emerged as an overarching concept
to capture the various attempts to steer emerging sciences and technologies. Management
can be understood as the traditions and institutions by which authority is exercised to
steer a phenomenon in a particular direction. The concept broadly refers to the insight
that, first of all, the state is not the only actor that exercises authority but that other actors
matter, like industry, civil society organizations, and the public. And secondly, the term
governance captures the view that policies and regulations matter and that other
mechanisms should be taken into account when aiming to understand how emerging
science and technology are steered.
3. Identify actual science and technology policies of the government and their impact on the
development of the health of the Filipino nation.
- Science and technology policy is one of the public policies that promote appropriate
funding to advance scientific and technological research and education, studies the
impact of science and technology upon its citizenry, and prescribes regulation. Those
involved in a nation's science and technology policy analysis and often provide in-depth
studies to determine the government's plans, programs, and policies and their effects on
domestic and international affairs. Since many political issues have a scientific
component, most developed countries have specific agencies, ministries, or offices that
deal with science and technology policy.
