the ultimate core value of our existence.
Human dignity
has become an instant go-to tool for answer
to question.
internet
a machine that can do the work of a person and that
works automatically or is controlled by a computer
ROBOTS
An actuated mechanism programmable in two or
more axes with a degree of autonomy, moving
within its environment to perform the intended task
ROBOTS
Includes active human-robot interaction
Partial autonomy
Excludes active human-robot interaction.
Full autonomy
a robot that performs useful tasks for humans
or equipment excluding industrial automation applications
Service Robots
used for non-commercial tasks,
usually by laypersons
Personal Service Robots
used for a commercial task,
usually operated by a properly trained operator
Professional Service Robots
was the first country to develop service robots
Germany
DESIRE (Deutsche
Servicerobotik Initiative-Germany Service Robotics
Initiative) was launched on October 1, 2005
“Unimate” was his first
invention from the words
“Universal Automation
George Devol
formulated laws because
he was thinking on ethical
consequences of robots.
Isaac Asimov
combination of sounds that represents
something. This significance makes the world distinct from
just any kind of vocal utterance.
Word
The words are “informed” because they carry
“information”.
“knowledge communicated to
obtained concerning a specific fact or circumstance”
Information
who proposed the Theory of the
Information Age in 1982, the
information age is a truly new age
based upon the interconnection of
computers via telecommunications.
These information systems operate
on both a real-time and as-needed
basis.
James R. Messenger,

invented it as a way of
addressing data
processing and
information sharing
needs among scientists
for the European
Organization for Nuclear
Research ( CERN)
Tim Berners-Lee
an American
mathematician who was
considered the “father of
information theory”
Claude E. Shannon
is a worldwide system of interconnected
networks that facilitate data transmission among innumerable
computers.

world’s most popular search engine,
accepting more than 200 million queries daily
is an issue that poses alarm
worldwid
CYBERBULLYING
The most important
contributions of advances in
the Information Age to society.
COMPUTER
a single-user instrument.
o First known as a microcomputer, it is a complete computer
built on a smaller scale
Personal Computer (PC)
it is described as a PC that is not
designed for portability.
Desktop Computer
portable computers that
integrate the essentials of a desktop
computer in a battery-powered
package
Laptops
tightly integrated
computers that usually have no
keyboards but rely on a touch screen
for user input.
Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs
refers to a computer that
has been improved network services
to other computers.
Server
huge computer systems that can fill
an entire room.
- used especially by large firms
- the term “mainframe” has been
replaced by enterprise server.
Mainframes
they involve materials
that are usually
integrated into cell
phones, watches, and
other small objects or
places.
Wearable Computers
Is the vast variety of all life
forms in the entire Earth.
- It encompasses all kinds
of life forms, from
single-celled organisms to
the largest multi-celled
organisms.
BIODIVERSITY
the living
organisms
Biotic
non-living
organisms
Abiotic
TAXONOMY,
a system
devised by Swedish scientist
CARL LINNAEUS.
Is the hierarchical
system of classifying
and naming
organisms.
TAXONOMY
inhabitation of human
beings and use of land
for economic gains are
major contributing
factors.
Habitat loss and
destruction
critical factor
contributing to species and
habitat loss – changes within
species groups or
environment could begin to
change the entire ecosystem.
Alteration in ecosystem
composition
changing consumption
patterns of humans is the key
reason for unsustainable
exploitation of natural
resources
Over-exploitation
cause irreversible
damage to species
and varieties.
Pollution and
contamination
causes
biodiversity loss
Global
climate change
Term used for organisms created through genetic
engineering.
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM
is a plant, animal, microorganism, or other
organism whose genetic makeup has been modified
using recombinant DNA methods (also called gene
splicing)
GMO
introduce
BT(bacillus
thuringiensis) Corn, a
genetically modified
corn that is resistant to
the destructive Asian
corn borer
Rosalie Ellaus
genetically
modified plants to resist certain
pests.
Pest resistance
corn that has
been modified with the gene of
Bacillus Thuringiensis which is toxic
to corn borer
BT Corn
genetically modified plants to
resist certain viruses.
Virus resistance
genetically modified plants to
tolerate herbicide
Herbicide Tolerant
genetically
modified plants fortified with
certain minerals.
Fortification
genetically modified organisms that
have a higher yield in growth than
normal species
Increase Growth Rate
modified
color and extended vase life of
flowers.
Flower Production
modified
characteristics of trees for higher
yield of paper production.
Paper Production
modified plants to produce
pharmaceutical products.
Pharmaceutical Productions
The use of modified
plants can assist in the bioremediation of
polluted sites
Bioremediation
modified microorganisms that can produce
enzymes for food processing and medicines
Enzyme and Drug Production
is used as an anti-malarial drug
that is synthetically produced by yeast and
bacteria.
