Technology and Family and Global Change by Mary Krystle Dawn D. Sulleza

1.  Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill,
cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[1]) is the
collection of tools, including machinery,
modifications, arrangements and procedures used
by humans. Engineering is the discipline that seeks
to study and design new technologies.
Technologies significantly affect human as well as
other animal species' ability to control and adapt
to their natural environments. The term can either
be applied generally or to specific areas:
examples include construction
technology, medical technology and information
technology.

2. the collection of tools,
including machinery,
modifications, arrangements
and procedures used by
humans.
Technology:

3. -is the use of
various control systems for
operating equipment such as
machinery, processes in
factories, boilers and etc.
Automation:

4. Importance of Home
Automation:
-uses technology to make
your everyday tasks in the home
(or office) simpler, safer, or less
expensive.

5. 1.)Home Automation is
Affordable
Home automation doesn’t have
to cost a lot of money. Systems are
designed to be expandable, allowing
you to grow your system as you can
afford to.

6. 2.)Practical and Fun to
Use:
Home automation can be an
addictive hobby and the technology
has its own loyal following of
enthusiasts.

7. Examples of Home
Automation:
1.) Using a remote control to turn on a
light across the room
2.) unlocking the front door as you pull
into the driveway
3.) Turning on your home sprinkler
system with your cell phone
4.) logging in from your computer at
work to view your home security
cameras

9. How Do I Get Started
With Home Automation?
1. Don't Stress Too Much About the
Future
2. Buy Only What You Can Use
3. Start Simple

10. Multiple Uses of Home
Automation:
1. Temperature Control
2. Irrigation Systems
3. Home Theater
4. Lighting Control
5. Pool and Hot Tub
6. Automated Shades

11. Types of Automation
1.) Open and Closed Looped
**control loop- All the elements
constituting the measurement and control
of a single variable
**closed loop control- Control that uses a
measured signal, feeds the signal back
and compares it to a set point, calculates
and sends a return signal to make a
correction
open loop- If the controller does not
incorporate feedback to make a
correction Ex: Elevator

12. 2.) Feedback Control:
-accomplished with a controller.
-The theoretical basis of
feedback control is control
theory which also
covers servomechanisms, which
are often part of an automated
system.
-Maintaining stability is a
principal objective of control
theory.

13. 2.) Sequential Control:
Sequential control may be either
to a fixed sequence or to a logical
one that will perform different actions
depending on various system states.
An example of an adjustable but
otherwise fixed sequence is a timer on
a lawn sprinkler.

14. 2.) Computer Control:
Computers can perform both
sequential control and feedback
control, and typically a single
computer will do both in an industrial
application.
Ex: ATM- computer will perform a logic
derived response to a user selection
based on information retrieved from a
networked database.

15. Advantages of
Automation:
Increased productivity.
Improved quality or increased
predictability of quality.
Improved robustness (consistency),
of processes or product.
Increased consistency of output.
Reduced direct human labor costs
and expenses.

16. Disadvantages of
Automation:
Causing unemployment and poverty
by replacing human labor.
Security Threats/Vulnerability
Unpredictable/excessive
development costs
High initial cost

17. WELL BEING
What people are notionally able to do
and to be, and what they have
actually been able to do and to be’
WELL-BEING:

18. The clinical perspective: defines
well-being as the absence of
negative conditions
psychological perspective: defines
well-being as the prevalence of
positive attributes.
2 Perspectives of WELL-
BEING:

19. the satisfaction of an individual’s
values, goals and needs through
the actualisation of their abilities
or lifestyle
Quality of Life:
fields of international development,
healthcare,
politics and
employment.
Contexts of Quality of Life:

20. body of thought in political
philosophy about the proper way
to respond to cultural and
religious diversity.
Types of Multiculturalism:
1.) Conservative- diversity is
represented but marginalized
2.) Liberal- based on intellectual
racial equality
3. Left Liberal- over-emphasizes
cultural differences.
Multiculturalism:

21. -is not only a function of
production, but also of energy
efficiency.
Food energy efficiency is our
ability to minimize the loss of
energy in food from harvest
potential through processing to
actual consumption and
recycling..
The Food Supply:

22. 1.) From food crops
2.) Food from fisheries and
aquaculture
3.) Food from Meat
Where did we get our food
supply?
