This document provides an overview of science and technology in various regions during the Middle Ages. It describes how economies in Europe transitioned to a feudal system between the 5th-14th centuries. While some towns grew, science declined following the fall of the Roman Empire due to loss of infrastructure and hard living conditions. Medicine was an exception. The document also outlines advances made in other regions like papermaking in China in the 2nd century and the development of mathematics in India and astronomy by Arab scholars between the 7th-13th centuries. Key inventions of the Middle Ages include the heavy plow, wheelbarrow, watermill, and first eyeglasses in the late 13th century.
These slides are about the science and technology in the 20th century. This presentation also discusses the changes in the society particularly in the Western countries. It is based on the works of Peter Drucker's "Technology and Society in the 20th century" and Alvin Toffer's "The First, Second and Third Wave"
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.

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.
Science, Technology and Society (STS) is an interdisciplinary field that studies the conditions under which the production, distribution and utilization of scientific knowledge and technological systems occur; the consequences of these activities upon different groups of people.
Intellectual Revolutions that Defined Society.pptxCamilaSoriano6
The term "Intellectual Revolution" is used to refer to Greek speculation about the "nature" in the period before Socrates (roughly 600 to 400 BCE). Hence, the alternative, technical terms are "pre-Socratic" "non-theological" or "first philosophy".
This interdisciplinary course engages students to confront the realities brought about by science and technology in society.
Such realities pervade the personal, the public, and the global aspects of our living and are integral to human development.
Scientific knowledge and technological development happen in the context of society with all its socio-political, cultural, economic, and philosophical underpinnings at play.

The Islamic Golden Age 1. Expansion under Muhammad, 622–632 .docxjmindy
The Islamic Golden Age
1. Expansion under Muhammad, 622–632
2. Expansion during the Rashidun Caliphate, 632–661
3. Expansion during the Umayyad Caliphate, 661–750
Islamic civilization experienced a golden age under the Abbassid Dynasty, which ruled from the mid 8th century until the mid 13th century.
Under the Abbassids, Islamic culture became a blending of Arab, Persian, Egyptian, and European traditions. The result was an era of stunning intellectual and cultural achievements.
It is said to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Mongol invasions and the Sack of Baghdad in 1258. Several contemporary scholars, however, place the end of the Islamic Golden Age to be around the 15th to 16th centuries.
Influences for the Golden Age
Religious: The Abbasids were influenced by the Quranic injunctions and hadiths, such as "the ink of a scholar is more holy than the blood of a martyr," that stressed the value of knowledge.
Government sponsorship
The Muslim governments heavily patronized scholars. The best scholars and notable translators, such as Hunayn ibn Ishaq, had salaries that are estimated to be the equivalent of professional athletes today.
The House of Wisdom was a library, translation institute, and academy established in Abbasid-era Baghdad, Iraq by Caliph Harun al-Rashid and his son al-Ma'mun.
The House of Wisdom is where both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars sought to translate and gather all the world's knowledge into Arabic. Many classic works of antiquity that would otherwise have been lost were translated into Arabic and Persian and later in turn translated into Turkish, Hebrew and Latin.
From the translations, the Arab world became a collection of cultures which put together, synthesized and significantly advanced the knowledge gained from the ancient Roman, Chinese, Indian, Persian, Egyptian, Greek, and Byzantine civilizations.
New technology
With a new, and easier writing system, and the introduction of paper, information was democratized to the extent that, for probably the first time in history, it became possible to make a living from simply writing and selling books.
Learning from History…
During this period, the Muslims showed a strong interest in assimilating the scientific knowledge of the civilizations that had been conquered. Many classic works of antiquity that might otherwise have been lost were translated from Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, and Phoenician civilizations into Arabic and Persian, and later in turn translated into Turkish, Hebrew, and Latin.
Philosophy
Ibn Rushd founder of the Averroism school of philosophy, was influential in the rise of secular thought in Western Europe.
Ibn Rushd and Ibn Sina played a major role in saving the works of Aristotle, whose ideas came to dominate the non-religious thought of the Christian and Muslim worlds. They would also absorb ideas from China, and India, adding to them tremendous knowled.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. MEDIEVAL PERIOD EXPLAINED
•THE PERIOD FROM 450 A.D. IS COMMONLY
CALLED THE MIDDLE AGES.
•THIS IS USUALLY DIVIDED INTO THE SO
CALLED DARK AGES, FROM 450 A.D. TO
1450 A.D.
3. • THE ECONOMY OF THE MIDDLE AGES FROM THE 5TH
CENTURY MAY BEE DESCRIBED AS FEUDAL.
• THE ECONOMIC BASIS OF THE FEUDAL SYSTEM WAS LAND
MARKED BY ITS INDEPENDENCE ON LOCAL
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION MOSTLY CONSUMED ON
THE SPOT AND ON HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY.
• BY THE 11TH CENTURY TOWNS WERE WELL ESTABLISHED
AND BY THE 12TH THEY WERE GROWING IN NORTHERN
FRANCE , ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
4. DECLINE OF SCIENCE IN EUROPE
• THE FALL OF ROMAN EMPIRE WAS FOLLOWED BY THE EXTINCTION OF
ADMINISTRATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.
• CIVILIZATION HAS STOPPED. THE STANDARD OF LIVING IS COMPARABLE TO
THAT OF AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION.
• SCIENCE RETREATED. POVERTY WAS ENDEMIC, AND PEOPLE SUFFERED FROM
WAR, FAMINE AND EPEDEMICS.
5. • THEY HAVE LITTLE INTEREST IN THEORETICAL SCIENCE.
• CHRISTIANITY AS A STATE RELIGION HAVE BEEN INIMICAL TO SCIENCE. THEY
ARE LESS INTERESTED IN HOW NATURE WORK AND FOCUSED IN THE IDEA THAT
THE WORLD WILL COME TO AN END SOON.
• MEDICINE IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL DECLINE BECAUSE CHRISTIAN FELT
THAT IT IS THEIR DUTY TO HELP THE SICK, SO THE STUDY OF MEDICINE
CONTINUED. THEY INCORPORATED THE STUDY OF HIPPOCRATES AND GALEN IN
MONASTERIES.

7. The first Chinese writing was on flat shoulder bones
of cattle and tortoise shells.
During this period China became the most
technically advanced Country in the world.
Paper- paper making started in 140 B.C. but was
officially used in writing starting in 105 A.D.. Paper
was also used for clothing, wall décor, art work and
even in toilet.
Seismograph- a bronze vessel with pendulum
sensitive to vibration was invented to detect
earthquakes in the 2nd century A.D.
8. Physics - motion of solid objects was thought to
be caused by force and cessation of
motion due to obstacle. Studies of magnets and
magnetism were done in China long
before the same was initiated in Europe.
Physical theories - events and phenomena are due
to the interaction between feminine
principle YIN and the male principle YAN.
Science – It was qualitative and dynamic.
9. World View
Organicist views are which every phenomenon was connected with hierarchical
order.
Mathematics
The ancient Chinese expressed numbers decimally and analytically. Decimal
place-value and a blank space for zero had began in earlier than anywhere else in
the
ancient world together with the metrology. They knew how to extract square root
and evaluate the value of n, equations and sum of various series.
20. SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS IN
INDIA
• RECOGNITION OF ROLE OF ZERO AS A NUMBER NOT A DEVICE TO MAKE
WRITTEN EXPRESSION OF NUMBERS UNAMBIGUOUS IN A PLACE-VALUE SYSTEM
• MATHEMATICS MORE FOCUSED IN LARGE NUMBERS INFLUENCES BY THE
ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS OF BABYLONIANS
• THEY USED THE DECIMAL SYSTEM
• IN ASTRONOMY THEY BEGAN IN CALENDAR COMPUTATION BASED ON THE
MOTION OF MOON AND STARS.
• WITH THE INFLUENCE OF BABYLONIA AND GREECE THEY DEVELOP SPHERICAL
TRIGONOMETRY . SINE IS DERIVED FROM INDIAN WORD.
• MEDICINE DEVELOPED BASED ON PREVENTING DISEASES AND ON HYGIENE.
21. ARAB SCIENCE
• ISLAMIC CULTURE FLOURISHED ABOUT 700 TO 1300. THEY BECAME THE MOST
ADVANCED CIVILIZATION IN THE WESTERN WORLD
• AZIMUTH AND ALBEGRA WERE IN ARAB ORIGINS
• THEY HAVE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY WITH INDIA AND CHINA; TURKISH, JEWS,
CHRISTIAN THAT BROUGHT CHANGES TO THE ARAB THINKING
• CALIPH AL-MA’MUN FOUNDED A HOUSE OF WISDOM IN BAGHDAD THAT WAS
THE CENTER OF MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH AND ASTRONOMICAL
OBSERVATORY.
• GALEN’S MEDICAL WRITINGS AND PTOLEMY’S ON ASTRONOMY WERE
TRANSLATED IN THIS SCHOOL
22. • THEY COMPILED ASTRONOMICAL TABLES OF PLANETARY AND
STELLAR POSITION (AL-ZARKALI)
• MATHEMATICS BLOSSOMED. IT WAS ROOTED IN COMBINATION OF
MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE IN GREECE AND INDIA
• IN CHEMISTRY SUBSTANCES DISCOVERED IN ANTIQUITY WAS
PREPARED, SUCH AS BORAX AND SAL-AMMONIAC
• IN PHYSICS THEY FOCUSED IN CRAFTING INSTRUMENTS
• MEDICINE WAS HIGHLY DEVELOPED. HOSPITALS ARE
CONSTRUCTED WITH COMPLETE INFRASTRUCTURE IN HEALTH
CARE AND WITH LICENSED PHYSICIANS
• ANATOMY DID NOT PROGRESS BECAUSE DISCECTOMY IS
FORBIDDEN IN ISLAMIC LAW
23. REVIVAL OF SCIENCE IN EUROPE
• IN 12TH CENTURY SCIENCE RETURNED TO EUROPE
• EMPEROR CHARLEMAGNE DECREED THAT EVERY MONASTERY MUST HAVE A
SCHOOL. THESE SCHOOLS WAS THE FORERUNNERS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES.
THEY ARE GREATLY INFLUENCED BY THEIR CONTACT WITH THE ISLAMIC
CULTURE.
• GREEK WORKS WERE TRANSLATED BY SCHOLARS FROM 1150 -1270
• GERARD OF CREMONA TRANSLATED PTOLOMY’S “ALMAGEST” FROM ARABIC TO
LATIN; ARISTOTLE’S , EUCLID’S ELEMENTS, AND THE WORK OF GALEN AND
HIPPOCRATES
24. • ST. THOMAS AQUINAS ONE OF FOUNDERS OF SCHOLASTIC
SCHOOLS CLAIMED THAT “ KNOWLEDGE CAN BE OBTAINED
THROUGH BOTH RELIGIOUS FAITH AND NATURAL REASON. HE
ALSO BELIEVED THAT THE TEACHING OF PLATO AND
ARISTOTLE WERE COMPARABLE OF CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
• IN 1210 PARISIAN SYNOD DECREED THAT CERTAIN OF
ARISTOTLE’S WORKS COULD NOT BE TAUGHT IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF PARIS; THEY SAID; THAT ARISTOTILE’S WORKS
IMPLY THAT GOD DID NOT CREATE THE WORLD, THAT THERE
CAN BE NO TRANSUBSTANTIATION OF THE HOST WINE
DURING COMMUNION, THAT MIRACLES CANNOT OCCUR,
AND THAT SOULS DOES NOT SURVIVE THE BODY.
25. TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION OF THE MIDDLE
AGES
New horse harness-the horse-collar pulling on the shoulders of
the horse instead of a band hugging his breast, allowed the
horse to increased its "attractive” effort five times.
The water-mill and Windmill-watermill was invented in the
stone age. By a using suitable mechanism, it rotary motion could
be converted to reciprocal
motion making it a source of general power.
Windmill from Persia reached Europe about 1100A.D. It was
primarily for blowing bellows, filling cloth, forging iron, sawing,
weaving and threashing.

29. Carruca (Heavy Plough )
A type of heavy wheeled plough commonly found in Northern Europe.[4] The device
consisted of four major parts.
30. Floating crane
Beside the stationary cranes, floating cranes which could be flexibly deployed in the whole port
basin came into use by the 14th century.
32. Ship mill (6th century)
The ship mill is a Byzantine invention, designed to mill grains using hydraulic power. The
technology eventually spread to the rest of Europe and was in use until ca. 1800
Vertical windmills (1180s)
Invented in Europe as the pivotable post mill, the first surviving mention of one comes from
Yorkshire in England in 1185
33. Spectacles (1280s)
The first spectacles, invented in Florence, used convex lenses which were of help only to the
far-sighted. Concave lenses were not developed prior to the 15th century.
