The History of Science is the study of development of science and scientific knowledge while
the history of technology is the study of the advancement of the World. In the talk of Hannu

great contribution in relation to science as well as technology. For me, it is important to study
the importance of science and technology for us to know the origin of everything that exists in
the world, and make us realized that science is everything “we are science”. And studying the
history of science allows us to have a glimpse into both the history of the world and into just
how we discovered everything we know about the world. The facts that we need to study the
history of technology to learn or understand the changes and the causes of changes in

As of today, our world has been dependent on the technology. Technology has been one of the
major centerpiece why the world became developed. It was also the one responsible to the
arising of new advancements in material things. However for Heidegger, he said that
technology must be handled property in order to avoid mistake that could threaten us or to slip
from human control. I viewed technology in a neutral manner, as the matter of fact technology
helped us a lot. Technology may have advantages and disadvantages, it always have a
responsibility.
Heidegger is worried with questioning the essence of technology and in particular, modern
technology, which he recognized as something not the same to older, pre-industrialized forms
of technology. Technology itself is not good or bad, but the problem is, that technological
thinking has become the only form of thinking. It claimed that ancient and modern technology
are revealing, modern technology is revealing not in the sense of bringing forth but rather
challenging nature. I disagree with Heidegger’s assertion that technology should only be seen as
one of several methods for experiencing the reality. Whether it is for moral truth, justice,
honesty, moderation, courage, or ethics, Technology will never reveal or perceive any truth.
Technology has improved the world in so many ways, but it has also brought about a great
deal of suffering globally or maybe individually for all of us. These technologies have damaged
our world in two main ways; pollution and the depletion of natural resources. Monitor and limit
the use of technology, teach responsibility and conscious behavior, and find alternatives to
technology.
Therefore, that we can practice the questioning of technology in the hope of revealing the
truth, which modern technology habitually conceals through the order it imposes on the world.

“developed” or “flourishing”?

life are good. We might also refer to such a state as complete human well-being,

It consists of two questions or items from each of five domains: happiness and life satisfaction,

3. Why do you think other countries are developed while others are not?
Differences in the economic growth rate of nations often come down to differences in inputs
and differences in TFP—the productivity of labor and capital resources. Higher productivity
promotes faster economic growth, and faster growth allows a nation to escape poverty.

2. We all have a human right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress (the Right to Science [RtS]).
The right has its origins in Article 27 of the United Nation’s (UN’s) 1948 Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, which was adopted in the wake of World War II (2). In 1966, the UN turned these
commitments into binding obligations under international law. The implication is that, just as

they must also adopt measures to respect and ensure the RtS

A human rights perspective also affirms that access to scientific information is a human right.
This implies that the benefits of scientific advancement should be shared openly, free from
restrictions by social groups, corporate entities or states. Above all, a rights-based approach to
science seeks to create the conditions for equitable participation. There are certain issues on
humanity on robotics. Issues on safety, blame, rights, and value of humanity are just some of
the issues that can one can identify. He said that some are concerned regarding robots that can
show and perceive emotion, which might make us feel more machine-like. He questioned on
whether imposing the right of humans to robots might decrease our own specialness. He was
also worried on the use of robots in the military.
Human rights are central to discussions on how science, technology, and development can
promote human well-being. Human rights are also rights to sustainability, serving to protect the
poor and vulnerable from the excesses of market-driven science and technology. Without a
human rights approach to science, technology, and development, the uneven distribution of
goods from services and natural resources to intangible resources such as human dignity and
autonomy would only grow exacerbated, resulting in further environmental degradation and,
above all, heightened vulnerability. In other words, human rights-based approaches should not
be treated as merely decorative moral dimensions to policy or scientific and technological
innovation. They can form the very heart of sustainable futures.

POSITION PAPER
The Internet Revolution and Digital Future Technology as time runs, development crawls. as we live in
this world, we encountered lot of developments. The positive impacts of the revolution of the digital
technology include the fact that it has enhanced interconnectedness among people. The
interconnectedness has reduced costs and time as far as sending and receiving the information is
concerned. The digital revolution made the lives of everyone in society a simple one. A majority of
people have smartphones and other mobile phones for browsing the things with ease. They even
provide methods to connect with others as soon as possible when users want to convey important
messages.
The other negative impact as far as the revolution of digital technology is concerned is that there is less
privacy because the information that is stored in the digital devices is susceptible to be accessed by
people who were not intended to view it. Digital technology is increasingly making machines smarter. In
some cases, the machines no longer need humans to operate them, freeing up workers from often
repetitive tasks for more interesting jobs. In other cases, smarter machines mean better standards of
safety or a better experience for the user. Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological
and physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on important tasks. They may also
contribute to more serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology may have a
