Introduction
Changes that happened in society and in people's way of life due to the existence
of science and technology.
Generation
Gap
A generation gap refers to
the chasm that separates
the beliefs and behaviors
belonging to members of
two different generations.
More specifically, a
generation gap can be
used to describe the
differences in thoughts,
actions, and tastes
exhibited by members of
younger generations
versus older ones.
Bridging the
Generation
Gap
It is a challenge for people in
the field of science and
technology to make these
technological
advancements more
accessible and less
confusing for people.
Technology
and the Human
Condition
People who live in the past and people in the
present all have different views of what it
means to flourish.

Since there have been drastic changes in

people's way of life brought about by factors,
primarily by science and technology, it can be
inferred that there have been drastic changes
not only in the conception of human flourishing
but to people's actual human condition as well.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
BEFORE THE COMMON ERA
Gifted with more advanced brains than other
creatures, humans are able to utilize abundant
materials
Homo erectus has been using re to cook, by chipping
one int over the other to produce a spark, all without
realizing the laws of friction and heat
Tools from stone and ints marked the stone age

era when homo sapiens and humans began to

sharpen stones as a knife

People discovered minerals and began forging

metalwork and realized that these substances

are more durable, malleable, and have more

luster than stones

Clothes were adopted as a way to keep warm. But

the invention of animal-based apparel also

corresponds with the appearance of personal

adornments

Ages before fur clothing became

fashionable its use was a matter of

survival

Technology in the Bronze Age
• Bronze Age is a time period when  bronze replaced stone as the preferred material for
making tools and weapons.
• name was given to the period of time between the Stone and Iron Ages

 THE HUMAN
CONDITION IN THE
COMMON ERA
Humans were content of their relationship with nature.
Earliest case of man-made extinction occurred over
12,000 years ago, possibly brought upon by hunting and
territorial disputes. The Holocene Extinction is an
ongoing extinction and is a result of human activity.
Growing population, overhunting and overfishing are
endemic therefore it can cause extinction of resources.
They began to hunt, farm and produce things with prospect
of profit. Technology has been instrumental in all of these
because in searching for the good life, people were able to
come up with creations that would make life easier, more
comfortable and more enriching.
Advancements in medicine, technology, health and
education ushered in humanity’s best yet, and show no sign
of stopping.

THE ESSENCE OF
TECHNOLOGY
Modern
humans are
reliant on
technology in
the search of
new life.
Postmodernism - people began to
question if anything is deterministic at
all.

Was the history of technology brought

purposeful choices for man in his search
for the ultimate good?
In retrospect view of
technology proves to
be goal oriented. It
assumes that it is
instrumental in
achieving a goal in
mind, that it is
purposeful, deliberate
craft humans steer in
order to reach some
greater good.
Technological revelation is but one of
the many ways to percieve the world.

In the name of growth and

development, humans view the world
as a field of resources.

The danger of relying too much on

technology results to us losing track of
thngs that matter, reducing the
surroudnings to their economic value.

It seems that the human
condition, although
more sophisticated, is
nothing more but a
rehashed version of its
former self.

seemingly occurring in a
rapid pace that our
morality cannot quite

 LESSON 2

SUMMARY
Science and technology
aided us in survival and
helped us outsmart our
adversaries, provided us
comfortable living, allowed us
to explore the world, and
assisted us in discovering
more about ourselves and
the truth.
However, it also leads us to a paradox in which we are only able
to see the world in the lenses of technological innovations.

Advancements in the field expose us to previously unknown predicaments,

effectively helping us to reveal our own natures and enforcing one perspective in
fidning the truth.
