The document provides an overview of the history of information technology through four stages: pre-mechanical age, mechanical age, electromechanical age, and electronic age. Some key developments include the invention of writing systems in 3000 BC, the printing press in 1450, Charles Babbage inventing the difference engine and analytical engine in the 1820s-1830s laying the foundation for modern computers, Samuel Morse inventing the telegraph in 1835, and Konrad Zuse building the first programmable computer called the Z3 in 1941. The document traces the evolution of information storage, processing, and communication technologies over thousands of years.
Science and technology studies, or science, technology and society studies (STS) is the study of how society, politics, and culture affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how these, in turn, affect society, politics and culture.
When we speak of the digital self, we are referring to the self as it exists in digital realms. This varies depending on the individual, since some of us prefer to live online under a pseudonymous or anonymous persona, apart from our physical selves, and others consider the digital to be a more holistic identity that goes beyond the physical.
This is the first chapter of the course Readings in Philippine History as per the course guide from Commission on Higher Education.
Course sub-topics:
1. Meaning and Relevance of History
2. Distinction of Primary and Secondary source; External and Internal Criticism

This paper is about conflicts and controversies in Philippine history. Among the topics were as follows:
1. Site of the First Mass
2. The Cry of Rebellion
3. The Cavite Mutiny
This is the third chapter of the course Readings in Philippine History as per the course guide from Commission on Higher Education.
Course sub-topics:
-Site of the First Mass
-Cry of Balintawak or Pugad Lawin?
-Rizal's Retraction
In this module, you will journey to the very heart of this course: you will be asked to identify the challenges posed by globalization and consider responses to these challenges as demonstrated by experiences on the ground. For this purpose, students will produce case studies of communities (in the Philippines and other countries) experiencing the impact of globalization and their respective responses to issues that arise. There are global-civic societies engaged in advocacies relating to climate and environmental protection, for example, human trafficking across borders, the application of advances in science and technology to serve some of the world’s poorest communities, and so on. There are, too, communities that have managed, in varying degrees of success, to deal with the effects, good and bad, of globalization.

GEE-LIE LIVING IN THE IT ERA (FOUR BASIC COMPUTER PERIODS).pdfAteKuya2
The Four Basic Periods of Computer History
The four basic periods of computer history can be divided into the following:
Pre-mechanical Age – it involves the basic system of writing and alphabets like petroglyphs, ideographs, cuneiforms, the invention of pen and paper, and the first calculator ‘abacus’.
Mechanical Age – it involves the start of the information explosion where machines are now helping with the creation and transmission of information through a wider audience than in the pre-mechanical age.
Electromechanical Age – this is the start of telecommunications. Telegraphs, telephone, and radio are the highlights of this age.
Electronic Age – this is where we are today where computers are programmable and electric.
Chaper 1 Brief History of TechnologypptxJessicaEbdane
There are 4 main eras in the history of IT:
The Premechanical Age: 3000 BC and 1450 AD
The Mechanical Age: 1450 – 1840
The Electromechanical Age: 1840 - 1940.
The Electronic Age: 1940 - Present.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Introduction to living in the IT Era
Information
• Information is facts provided or learned about something or
someone.
• Information is knowledge acquired from another.
• Information is knowledge you can convey to others.
• Knowledge gained through study, communication, research,
instruction.
Methods for transfer of information
• Image
• Text
• Sound
• Video
Technology
• From Greek word “technologies” in other form “techne” means
art, skill, or craft “logia” means study generally, technology makes
better.
• Technology is applications of scientific knowledge to solve
problem or perform a specific function.
Examples
• The simplest form of technology is the development and use of
basic tools.
• Invention of the wheel helped humans to travel.
Information Technology
• Use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate
data or information.
• Information technology involving the development, maintenance,

speaking and picture drawings.
• 3000 B.C., the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (what is today
southern Iraq) devised cuniform.
• The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and
added vowels; the Romans gave the letters Latin names to
create the alphabet we use today.
2. Paper and Pens--input technologies.
• Sumerians' input technology was a stylus that could scratch
marks in wet clay.
• About 2600 B.C., the Egyptians write on the papyrus plant.
• Around 100 A.D., the Chinese made paper from rags, on
which modern-day papermaking is based.

o The numbers 1-9 as vertical lines, the number 10 as a
U or circle, the number 100 as a coiled rope, and the
number 1,000 as a lotus blossom.
• The first numbering systems like those in use today were
invented between 100 and 200 A.D. by Hindus in India who
created a nine-digit numbering system.
• Around 875 A.D., the concept of zero was developed.
5. The First Calculators: The Abacus.
