NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
- Per Capita Income
- Income Distribution
- Gross National Product (GNP)
- Employment Rate
- Structure of Labor Force
- Human Life Expectancy
- Percentage of Urban Population
Measures either the income or the
expenditures within the country.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Average income earned by a person in
particular place.
Per Capita Income
Measures how the GDP of a country is
distributed equally.
Income Distribution
Sum of all the goods and services produced in a country per year by its people.
Gross National Product
Measure at which all the available labor
resources are being utilized.
Employment Rate
Sum total of all the men and women who are able to work, be employed or unemployed.
Structure of Labor Force
Average number of years an individual or a group of people could be expected to live.
Human Life Expectancy
Percentage of people living in urbanized area not depending upon agricultural products and other government services.
Percentage of Urban Population
Technology impacts different fields that contributes to the development of a successful life:
Transportation
Industry
Security
Health
Education
Agriculture
ADVANTAGES OF MODERN
TECHNOLOGY
Improve communications
Convenience in education
Improved housing, lifestyle, and entertainment
Convenience in travelling
Change in health industry
Efficiency and productivity
Creativity and innovation
DISADVANTAGES OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Job loss and human displacement
World destruction and weapons
Helpful in planning and solving humanitarian problems BUT might clearly violate the privacy of human life.
Real-time surveillance imagery
NASA Mars One. Space mission to colonize the planet Mars. Risk Assessment.
Colonizing Mars: An Astronaut Bioethics
Possibility that our private details might be exposed.
Wearable technology
Potential avenue of exposing the virus into the general public
Enhanced Pathogens
tendency to malfunction; cause
harm and accidents.
Kilobots
Direct communication from one brain to another without the use of speech
Brain to brain interfaces

Brain to brain interfaces
Four stages of history of technology
Prototechnology
Classical Technology
Modern Technology
Postmodern Technology
Focuses on the time when early tools were developed before civilization
Prototechnology
Rise of the agricultural technologies and the establishment of communities and cities
Classical Technology
Fueled by science concepts and principles which date back about 500 years ago.
Modern Technology
Replaces naturally occurring products with technologically developed ones.
Postmodern Technology
Two ways of human extinction
Gradual
Sudden
Gradual Extinction
Individual Age
Natural Selection
Disappearance of ecological niche
Sudden Extinction
Volcanic Eruption
Earthquake
Tsunami
Possible Collisions
Paandemic
HUMAN DISPLACEMENT POSSIBILITIES
Due to TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS
Ozone Layer Depletion
Global Warming and Climate Change
Nuclear War and Nuclear Contamination
Use of Plastics
Petroleum-Based Fertilizers
Habitat Destruction
Due to the usage of fossil fuels
OIL
COAL
NATURAL GAS
Global Warming and Climate Change
Due to improper use of nuclear reactors
Nuclear War and Nuclear Contamination
Nuclear War and Nuclear Contamination examples
Hiroshima’s nuclear bombing (1945)
Chernobyl nuclear power facility in Ukraine (1986)
Non-toxic when they are used
solely to increase crop yield
and income.
Can pollute nearby river or
bodies of water
Petroleum-Based Fertilizers
Land alteration,
deforestation, and
some agricultural
practices contributed
to global warming.
Habitat Destruction
What is biodiversity?
Bio - Life
Diversity - Variations
Major Concepts of Biodiversity
- Living organisms are
numerous - Living organisms are
abundant in habitat - Organisms have different
growth and metabolic - Biodiversity is essential
to human survival.
Three Components Of Biodiversity
Genetic Biodiversity
Species Biodiversity
Ecosystem Biodiversity
a geographic area where living organisms interact with each other and their environment
Ecosystem Biodiversity
the largest and most visible component of Biodiversity. It is significant since we are dealing with multiple ecosystems in an area
Ecosystem Biodiversity
the kinds of plants, animals, and other living things present in an area. These species rely on each other for survival in simple food chains or complexfood webs.
Species Biodiversity
Threats to Biodiversity
Habitat destruction
Pollution
Introduction of non-native and new varieties
Climate Change
Overexploitation
micro/macro species introduced accidentally or deliberately to a place
that is not part of their natural habitat.
Non- native species or Invasive Alien Species (IAS)
Any form of abuse to flora and
fauna threatens biological
diversity
- Overhunting
- Excessive logging
- Illegal wildlife trade
Ways to conserve biodiversity
Cell Tissue Culture
Cryopreservation Technonolgy
Advance in Molecular Biology and Genetics
Allow propagation/multiplication
of organisms at a rapid
pace.
Cell Tissue Culture
A non-lethal storage of
organelles, cells, tissues or
bone biological constructs
at ultra low temperature
Cryopreservation Technonolgy
Helps analyze individual strains of an organism, identify species and predict future phenotypes.
