• techne & logos, means word and art respectively
• techne became popular in 17th century because the concept was only used to talk about arts, specifically applied arts.
• As society evolved and technology progressed machines & tools were also attached to the word “technology”
• TECHNOLOGY is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes or applications.
• TV Sets are the ultimate medium for advertisement placements
• Paul Gotlieb Nipkow ( Nipkow Disk), a German student in the late 1800's, successful in his attempt to send a message through wires with the rotating metal disk.- electric telescope, with 18 lines of resolution.
• Allan Archibal Campbell -Swinton & Boris Rosing created the Cathode ray tube (a new system of TV) in addition to the Mechanical Scanner System in 1907
• The Success gave rise to 2 types og TV systems namely: Mechanical & Electronic
• cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a specialized vacuum tube in which images are produced when an electron beam strikes a phosphorescent surface. Most desktop computer displays make use of CRTs. The CRT in a computer display is similar to the "picture tube" in a television receive
• Martin Cooper on April 3, 1973 ( Senior Engineer Motorola) made the first mobile phone call to the rival telecommunications company.
• Motorola made the first mobile phone call to rival telecommunications company.
• In 1983, Motorola made the first commercial mobile phone available in the public, it was know as Dyna TAC 8000X
• Computers and Laptops have become part of many of the Filipino households.
• Charles Babbage, a 19th century English Mathematics professor,designed the first Mathematical Engine (used as the basic frameworks for computers).
• Analytical Engine Generally considered the first computer designed & partly built by Charles Babbage in 19th century.
• The first design of Computer was so BIG that could occupy the whole floors of the Building
• Osborne 1 was The first true portable computer released in April 1981. • From that moment on the evolution of laptops until the present time where various designs and models are made available
• A robot is an actuated mechanism programmable in 2 or more axis with a degree of autonomy,moving within its environment, to perform intended tasks
• Autonomy in this context, means the ability to perform intended tasks based on current state ansd sensing without human interventions.
• Service robot- performs useful tasks for humans or equipment excluding industrial automation application.
• Personal service robot- used for noncommercial task usually by lay persons.
• Professional service robot- used for commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator.
• One of the first countries to develop service robots, as part of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research “ Service Robotics Innovation Lead Initiative. It sponsored a collaborative project called DESIRE ( Deutsche Servicerobotik Initiative- Germany Servirobotics initiative) launched October 1, 2005)
• The earliest conception of robots can be traced to around 3,000 B.C. from the Egyptians. Waterclocks ( used human figurines to strike the hourbells. This mechanical device was built to carry out specific task regularly. From that time on, different mechanisms were already built that displayed the same mechanism & characteristics as the robots in the present
• However, the earliest robot as people know were created in early 1950,s by George Devol named “Unimate” ( from the words (Universal Automation)
• In 1940, Isaac Asimov formulated the robotic laws.
• Emotional component- looking at how fast technology progresses nowadays, it is not completely impossible for robots to develop emotions.
• Partial autonomy - includes active human- robot interaction
• Full autonomy- excludes active human- robot interaction : it can perform actions or activities even without a master telling it what should be done or what should be perform next
