HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS IN THE WORLD

LOCAL INVENTORIES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

16-bit microchip
 According to Wikipilipinas.org, Diosdado Banatao developed the
first single-chip graphical user interface accelerator that made
computers work a lot faster. This invention has allowed computer
users to use graphics for commands and not the usual typed
commands in older computers. It has allowed data processing to be
a little faster using very little space (small chips instead of large
boards).

Karaoke
 Roberto del Rosario is the president of
the Trebel Music Corporation and the inventor of the
Karaoke Sing Along System in 1975. 

Incubator
 The first Asian to have entered the prestigious
Harvard University’s School of Medicine, is also credited for
her studies that led to the invention of incubator and
jaundice relieving device. Fe Del Mundo

FOREIGN INVENTIONS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

Photophone
 In 1876, at the age of 29, Alexander
Graham Bell invented his telephone. Among one of his first
innovations after the telephone was the "photophone,"
a device that enabled sound to be transmitted on a beam
of light.

Cotton Gin
 Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in 1794. The cotton
gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other
unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked.

Mechanical Television
 John Logie Baird is remembered as
the inventor of mechanical television (an
earlier version of television). Baird also
patented inventions related to radar and fiber
optics.
Fluorescent Lighting
 Due to overwhelming public demand, we had to add  Nikola
Tesla to this list. Tesla was a genius and much of his work was
stolen by other inventors. Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, the
Tesla induction motor, the Tesla coil, and developed the alternating
current (AC) electrical supply system that included a motor and
transformer, and 3-phase electricity.

Apple Inc.
 Steve Jobs was best remembered as the charismatic co-founder of Apple Inc.
Working with co-founder Steve Wozniak, Jobs introduced the Apple II, a popular
mass market personal computer that helped usher in a new era of personal
computing. After being forced out of the company that he founded, Jobs returned
in 1997 and assembled the team of designers, programmers and engineers
responsible for the groundbreaking iPhone, iPad and many other innovations.

great knowledge in triangles with right angle features.

philosophy, according to the people of ancient
Greece.

 in 585 B.C. he foresaw the occurrence of a rare
solar eclipse, which shows approaches relating
to science.

c. Ancient Greece
 could not be considered as a singular
state consisting of many territories but a variety of
city-states bound together by race.

d. Aristotle
 a keen learner but did not engage
in conducting experiments.
e.Archimedes
  an engineer who was in heyday and
he discovered the characteristics of
liquids, such as fluids.
e. In the learning Center of Alexandria, near
the Nile River;
Eratosthenes- he tinkered with the Earth's
breadth and width
  Ctesibius-
he constructed precise clocks
 Prodigious librarians of Alexandria- they were able
to collect all the precious books of that time.

THE ONSET OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN ai

happened at different pace in
China.
b. Chinese 
  the one who invented
the gunpowder, and in quick
succession.
 First Compass

Wisdom, abiding with the Islamic saying
“the ink of scholar is move holy than
the blood of martyr”.
 The main purpose of Caliph was for it to be
a great library and formidable center
of research.
