It is a challenge for people in
the field of science and
technology to make these
technology more accessible
and less confusing for people
who are not as young

THE HUMAN CONDITION
BEFORE COMMON ERA
OM
SLIDESMANIA.C
People before the common Era are gifted with
brains, more advance than other creatures.

Humans are able to utilize abundant


materials for their own ease and comfort.

Homo erectus have been using fire to cook


and stones to produce fire, and without
realizing the laws of friction and heat.
OM
SLIDESMANIA.C
People discover minerals and began
forging metal work just like their jewelries
which are considered to be a luxury.
Sometimes they also use the bones of
animals they hunt.

Different Tribes, different Gods. Before the


people believe in rituals, where they offer
things or even humans as sacrifice to their
Gods in exchange for a prosperous life.

THE HUMAN CONDITION
IN THE
COMMON ERA
OM
SLIDESMANIA.C
For a long time, humans were content of their
relationship with nature.

Earliest case of man-made extinction occurred over


12,000 years ago, possibly brought upon by
hunting and territorial disputes.

The Holocene extinction is an ongoing extinction


and is a result of human activity.

Growing population, overhunting and overfishing


are continuous therefore it can cause extinction of

resources.
People began to hunt, farm and produce things
with prospect of profit.

People were able to create things that would


make life easier and more comfortable.

Advancements in medicine, technology, health


and education are still continuous.

Notable Comparisons
Then and Now
OM

Mortality Rate

Due to technology lesser women and children


die during birth assuring robust population and
strong workforce.

Medical care for premature infants allows them


to survive and develop normally, while proper
maternal care ensures that mothers can fully
recover and remain empowered.

Average Lifespan

Science is able to prolong lives by enhancing


living status and discovering different remedies
to most diseases.

Distribution of medicines is also made easier


and faster.
OM

Literacy Rate

Access to education provided to more


individuals generally creates a more
Informed public that could determine a
more just society.
OM

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

It is often used to determine the value of the


country's goods and services produced within
the territory given a certain time period.

Higher country income is brought upon by


higher productivity often an indicator of
presence of technology.
OM
SLIDESMANIA.C
This is the danger presented by
too much reliance on
technology:

"Human lose track of things that


matter thus, reducing their
surrounding to their economic
value."
