Relation of events in society to the innovation in technology:
Innovations in technology are provided due to the necessity of the society about something which could help them make the life better. Technology of today has the aim to help preserved the environment and with the motivation to lessen the harm the technology could contribute to the rising destruction it can give to the environment. Global warming as what I have known was the result of the too much exploitation in technology.
Since before, technology as we cannot deny it, is the major contribution of pollution and/or the major pollutant maker in earth’s atmosphere. In space technology, the space shuttle is one of the world’s innovations in technology when the human race begins to explore the galaxy and the world beyond the outer space. It all begun when humans get curious on what kind of place is beyond the stars and what the stars, what kind of matter does the moon have and can the human race survive to live there, and what the other planets looked like when the Apollo 11 spacecraft successfully launched and landed on the moon. The discoveries on the moon motivate the scientists to explore more on the outer space and yet send other modern spacecraft to do missions of discoveries in space. With these space technologies, we had picture out the galaxy and the Milky Way. But did you know that when these spacecraft technology leave the space of the earth left millions of dust when launched to their mission? Yes, launching the spacecraft or space shuttle can cause air pollution and harm millions of people around the globe. So, recognize why the craft is being launch in an isolated dusty area. Just think of it being lunch in a city or near the city. Picture it out in your mind and you will find the answer.
Another event in the society that as one of the bases in innovation in technology is war, as it is always. I say so because it is what reality propel. Since the World War 1, technology innovates from the other to another more modern and high-tech. As what we have learned, Internet was invented in the time of war between the Soviet and United States. From then on, rise of new technology increases and the innovation goes on and on until the present time. War is the major contributor to the innovation of technology from then. Developed countries around the world continued to grow because of the technology they had invented such as Europe, United States, Japan, etc. Just like what I have watched in the ZDnet.com. The organization is under invention of new technology to make the life of the battery of a radio the military used in wars. The technology I am talking about was introduced during the presentation of our group in our Future Technology subject. The innovation in the technology is that, to be able to make the energy of the battery restored, it will only be placed in a charger and shake for a minute of time. After such short time of charging, the battery has gained its energy back and is ready to be use again to its purpose.
Weaponry technology innovation is the fastest of all innovations in technology. I think so because this innovation is for the preparation of incoming World War three? Actually, there is a possibility of such prediction because China and North Korea, as what I have heard in the news, displays the new innovation of their weaponry in parades not only for publicity and to aware the society also. Not only had the two mentioned countries are dynamic in technology innovation. Japan is one of the major distributors of high-tech gadget all over the world. And as we all know since the World War one, Japan is already in innovation of their technology and adhere to the fast modernization of the other countries like United States and Europe. Because of there main distribution in digital technology gadgets like Nintendo, Humanoid Robots and virtual receptionist, Japan is a country that is really fully developed in technology. In our country, the only innovation in weaponry that I had heard was about the automated police dog of the Philippine National Police in Quezon City. Though the technology is not totally high tech in physical attributes, but it has the capability and ability to do its purpose such as looking for bombs. I heard that it is the technology used in the investigation in Glorietta Mall but was not really sure if that was really true.
Well, I really think that the purpose of innovation in technology is just to make the work faster and more efficient. The Election technology in the United States is another innovation. Since the country is composed of fifty-one states, it is very slow and intimidating to make the people vote in old fashion way and/or ‘ancient’ procedure of election like our country is still on application. Instead, they had decided to conceive an electronic voting system where it is easy and does not take time to vote. Yet the result will automatically reflect after each vote from the voters. I was glad when I heard that the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao area had introduced an electronic election system intended only for their region boundaries. I thought it was the same as the United States has but I was quite disappointed when a hard copy of voting result came out from the system. I was mistaken when I conclude that once the voter votes, the result will reflect to the total votes of the running politician’s count. Well, the expectation I had in mind was not applied because of some factors I had to anticipate. Maybe lack of fund is one. Our country does not have the innovation in election technology and is still using the ‘ancient’ and inefficient voting system application.
I have observed also that because of the worse result of global warming to the environment, technology now a day is innovated not only to make efficient and accurate works but also to minimize the side effect of technology to the environment and not worsen the present status of global warming to the world. In short, technologies are now eco-friendly in terms of its purpose and its goal. I think the quote that says, ‘what something has brought will be its downfall’ will be realize. Because of human’s eagerness to make life better with the innovation in technology, it resulted to too much negative effect to the society especially to the environment. Other technology were sought to destroy the natural resources supposedly present in our planet. Because of these results, environment friendly technology was introduced to the world.
In our country, the innovation in technology which is eco-friendly and has the aim to help preserve the cleanliness of the air and minimize pollutants that cause air pollution from cars, trucks, jeepneys, etc are the water-based car engine and the smoke regulator. The former uses water as its gasoline in order to start the engine and run the car. While the latter uses a regulator connected to the smoke pipe of the car to control the smoke content before it is whipped out to the air. But unfortunately, the former technology was now being adapted in Japan in their public buses. Why is that so? It is because of lack of funding to implement the innovation in our country so it was sold in Japan by its inventor. The latter was in application here in the country but is privately sold and manufactured by its creator.
Another one is the innovation in medical technology, the manufacturing of high-tech gadgets for hospital and medical use and application; just like the gadget used in checking for the pre-natal status of a pregnant woman. Now a day, an incoming mother and/or a mother could actually see the figure of its unborn child in a screen in more realistic three dimensional ways. This application is now very present in hospitals locally located here in Davao and nationwide.
But I had this question that lingers in my mind since I started typing this journal. Does the innovation in technology stop? Well, to answer my own question I think it will never as long as the society and the world are in need and the geniuses are not satisfied about what they had discovered, innovations in technology will continue to grow and become more modernized. But I had also observed that once a technology is innovated, the innovation of other technology closely follows because of the relationship between them. Just like when computers had new specs, mobile phones will also have new innovations. Cars had innovated to using of Geographical Information System, televisions turn slim to save the use of too much space in the household, Mobile phones applied digital cameras and other applications such as internet, Bluetooth, infrared, etc to make the transfer of media in a fast and easy way. Innovation in technology as a conclusion is just a mere result from a competition of countries, organization and/or corporations. It is surely okay for innovations and modernizations but not to the extent that we will lose our planet and make our world dreadfully wired to the technology we invented.
