LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, the learners should be

able to:
- Understand the impact of science and technology in
various fields;

- Discuss the positive and negative impact of science and

technology.

- Expand knowledge about the impact of science and

technology.
 In modern society, when our mobile devices became popular,
the Internet broke through the restrictions on time and space
and became a universal learning tool. Therefore, designing
digital learning activities and flexibly applying technology
tools are critical issues for current information technology-
integrated education.

interactive and is brimming with exciting areas. Teaching

students becomes very easy, convenient, and effective. Our
minds now work much faster when assisted with modern
technology, be it any part of life, and in this case, education.

Technological integration in education, which is need-based, is

displayed to have an immediate, positive effect on teacher
attitudes, such as computer anxiety, perceived importance of
computers, and computer enjoyment. In addition, this type of
education is shown to have a time-lagged positive effect on
students' attitudes.
 Impact of STS in ECONOMY

The application of complex science tools in the study of society

permits the analysis of marvels that have been hard to recognize
and analyze with more outdated means, particularly in Economics,
which has worked with relatively low dimensional representations
of reality in the absence of these tools. For example, in economics,
it is widely accepted that technology is the key driver of the
economic growth of countries, regions, and cities. This example is
because technological improvement allows for the more efficient
production of better goods and services, which success depends on.
 Impact of STS in ECONOMY

The different theories proposed by various researchers and scientists about

our economy provide us with new ways to improve. A comprehensive social
strategy must central education and instruction in preparing youth for
productive action in a rapidly changing and increasingly complicated, and
sophisticated world. The Internet is set for to become the primary delivery
system for expanding the global educational system to meet the rapidly
growing needs of developing countries. It also has an essential role in
vocational training to close the gap between the demand and convenience of
skilled individuals in the workforce.
 Impact of STS in Economy

One of the challenges will be to organize youth for

entrepreneurship and self-employment. Particular emphasis
should be given to developing sustainable human welfare,
including the field of health care, which is one of the
world's fastest-growing industries, accounting for more
than ten percent of the economy in most developed nations.
General awareness is rising regarding this topic, but science
and technology management needs to build devices and a
consensus to encourage data sharing and economic
development in growing countries.
 Positive Impact

Negative Impact
Accidents and Deaths
When man means of transportation was by
trekking and by the use of animals, few accidents
occurred. But with the advancement of
technology, which occasioned the invention and
use of aircraft, train, ships, speed boat, cars and
motorcycles, cases of death and accident have
been seriously on the increase, ranging from
plane crashes, shipwrecks, car and motorcycle
accident.
Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation has become both national
and international concern. The achievements of science
and technology have led to serious pollution and
degradation of the human environment. Industries,
factories and locomotive wastes and smokes pollute the
air leading to acid rains, global warming and depletion
of the ozone layer.
Loss of Value and Culture
These days our young women no longer value
decency and morality. The type of clothes they
put on in the name of fashion in a bid to imitate
the whites is disdainfully humiliating. Our
values and culture are in constant danger of
being totally forgotten and thrown away by our
youths, courtesy of science and technology.

Many people abuse the social networking sites and communicate to unsuspecting beings pretending someone else. This tendency of

people has done more harm than good.

 Impact of STS in WORK
In discussions about the future of work, technological worker substitution is frequently portrayed as a source of concern, while complementarity is portrayed as a benefit. While automation

and artificial intelligence may increase productivity and pay for those who stay employed, they may have mixed or negative effects on employee well-being.

Impact of STS in Business
• One of the greatest benefits of technology is convenience. We can now shop while sitting at home in our underwear, while driving, or

anywhere else we choose.

• Information is just a click away. People have instant access to

everything they could possibly want to know.
• Businesses can reach potential customers around the globe, no matter
how big or small their operation is.
• Helps Businesses Be Competitive - Technology can help small
businesses compete with multi-million dollar corporations without
anyone realizing just how small the company is.
• Everything is faster and easier to access because of technology.
Impact of STS in BUSINESS

• Anyone with an Internet connection can have tools like the best roboadvisors at
their fingertips.
• Education, financial advice, e-commerce tools, and security software help companies flourish and keep their customers engaged.

• Technology Increases Productivity - It can improve productivity, whether you have one or thousands of employees.

• AI (Artificial Intelligence) allows companies to look like they have an entire team working to satisfy customers. It saves on overhead costs and expands business

capabilities.

• Teams can interact in real time from anywhere in the world. This allows for greater flexibility, giving more people the opportunity to work remotely. In fact, 70

percent of individuals now work remotely at least once a week.

 Because of advances in technology, such as
Impact of STS in sensors, gadgets, machinery, and
information technology, modern farms and
agricultural operations operate very
differently than those just a few decades
ago. Robots, temperature and moisture

technology are all frequently used in today's
agricultural. Businesses may be more
profitable, productive, safer, and
environmentally friendly thanks to these
modern technology, precision agriculture,
and robotic systems.
Farmers are no longer required to
apply water, fertilizers, and
pesticides to entire fields in a
regular manner. Instead, they can
use the bare minimum of
chemicals and focus on very
precise locations, or even treat
individual plants individually.
The following are some of the
advantages:
- An increase in crop productivity
- Less water, fertilizer, and pesticides are used, resulting in lower
food prices.
- Less of a negative impact on natural ecosystems
- Chemical runoff into rivers and groundwater is reduced.
It also provides farmers and ranchers
- Improved worker protection
more control over plant and animal
production, processing, distribution,
and storage, resulting in:
- More efficiencies and lower costs
- More secure growing conditions and foods
- Lessening of the environmental and ecological impact
Furthermore, robotic
technologies allow for more
accurate monitoring and
management of natural
resources such as air and
water quality.
