Lesson 9:The Information
Age(Gutenberg to Social Media)
Technology has the power to transform society.
The most famous example of this is
German Craftsman Johannes Gutenberg's
invention of the Printing Press in the fifteenth
century"
The period of human history typically
described by the change from
traditional industry to an economy
based on information computerization
is known as the Information Age, Digital
Age, or New Media Age
THE INFORMATION AGE
Before the rise of computers, informations was
being spread using print out materials.
Johannes Gutenberg a German blacksmith and
publisher who introduced "Movable type
printing" in Europe, established what we called
Gutenber Era which is responsible for shaping
the nature of society and underlying institutions
WORLD:
THE PRE-GUTENBERG
During the time when printing press was not yet
available. Information could be processed in
a tendinous manner. Book were writen and produced
hand. They were made insurfaces of clay, wax
papyrus and parchment. The hand produced
books and others reading materials were restricted
only to those people who can afford to buy the
materials, called as the "elite group of people"
Information was only relayed to other
through a word-of mouth channels.
The rise of institutionalized and
mediated channels was evident
during this time and its best example
was the "media" which can pass
information through to people from
all walks of life and this opened the
door to exceptional mass
communication.
BUT DURING THIS PERIOD HISTORY, TO
DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION TO A LOT OF
LISTENERS OR VIEWERS, ONE MUST HAVE A TON
OF MONEY AT IS WAS VERY COSTLY. THE
UNPRECEDENT DISCOVERY OF PRINTING PRESS
HAS CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO THE WORLD THAT
HAS WAY IMPOSSIBLE TO BOOKS OR DOCUMENT
WRITTEN BY HAND MAKING JOHANNES
GUTENBERG A MAN OF MYSTERY.

The Post-Gutenberg Post
This era can be described as the emergence
of the internet and the world wide web.
This paved the way to the possible uploading
and downloading of all forms of media instruments
such as video, audio, and images.
It enables people to publish or spread
the information.
THE RISE OF DIGITAL AGE
With the advent of modern technologies,
printing press are not the only tools used in
spreading information. Nowadays, information
is readily available to pass form on individual
to another from here ro even faraway places.
COMPUTER
Invented by Charles Babbage, an English
mechanical engineer and considered the
"Father of the Computer " This technology
was designed for mathematical
calculations and simple decision making
capabilities.
The main frame computers were
large room sized computer that
provide people data calculation
and manipulation faster than
human brain. Personal
computers also available which
gave every individual access to
computer.
THE INTERNET:
The internet was mostly used by scientists
to communicate with other scientists.
Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn are the
people behind this marvelous piece of
technology. It was a governmentcontrolled project until 1984 and its first
countered problem in using it was the
speed.
The development of Fiber-optics allowed the
billions of bits of Information to be received
every minute and a company named "Intel"
was one of the companies that developed
faster microprocessor like 15 and 17 that can
process any data very quick
WORLD-WIDE WEB
Commonly known as "WWW" was invented by
Sir Tan Berners-Lee, a British Scientists that
started in 1990, and it was basically for
Commercial purpose. Home pages were made
by companies, business owners or corporation
in order to promote and sell their products and
eventually, other items could be purchased
online giving ease to shopping similarly,
online business can earn money through
online transactions.
ELECTRONIC MAIL OR E-MAIL
Several years back, it would take several days to
receive a letter and it would also take a big
amout of money to contact and talk to someone
very far away. Communication was made easier
through "E-mail" the invention of which was
controversially. E-mail is an avenue by which
messages are exchanged between people from
different locations at a faster rate.

LESSON 10:
BIODIVERSITY
AND THE
HEALTHY
SOCIETY
BIODIVERSITY IS THE SOURCE
OF THE ESSENTIAL GOODS AND
ECOLOGICAL SERVICES THAT
CONSTITUTE THE SOURCE OF
LIFE FOR ALL AND IT HAS
DIRECT CONSUMPTIVE VALUE
IN FOOD, AGRICULTURE,
MEDICINE, AND IN INDUSTRY.
CHANGES IN BIODIVERSITY
ALTERATION IN ANY SYSTEM COULD BRING
VARIED EFFECTS. A CHANGE IN BIODIVERSITY
COULD HAVE ERRATIC EFFECTS NOT ONLY IN
WILDLIFE OR MARINE LIFE BUT ALSO IN
HUMAN BEINGS. WE CAN CLEARLY INFER
THAT WHEN OUR ECOSYSTEM IS NOT WELL
TAKEN CARE OF, BIODIVERSITY ENCOUNTERS
CHANGES THAT MAY IMPACT HUMAN HEALTH
ON SUCH DIFFERENT
Nutritional Impact of Biodiversity
According to the World Health Organization,
biodiversity is a vital element of a human being’s
nutrition because of its influence to food production.
Biodiversity is a major factor that contributes to
sustainable food production for human beings.
A society or a population must have access to a
sufficient variety of nutritious food as it is a
determinant of their health as human beings.
HEALTH, BIOLOGY, AND
BIODIVERSITY
Almost all living organisms are
dependent to their environment
to live and reproduce. Basic
needs of living organisms such
as air, water, food, and habitat
are provided by its environment.
The evolution of human beings was due to
the improved access to these basic needs.
Advances in agriculture, sanitation, water
treatment, and hygiene have had a far
greater.
Environmental hazards increase the risk of
cancer, heart disease, asthma, and many
other illnesses. These hazards can be
physical, such as pollution, toxic
chemicals, and food contaminants, or
they can be social, such as dangerous
work, poor housing conditions, urban
sprawl, and poverty.
Unsafe drinking water and poor
sanitation and hygiene can lead to
infectious diseases, such as diarrhea,
cholera
THE IMPORTANCE
OF BIODIVERSITY
TO HUMAN HEALTH
Health is our most basic human
right. For most people, it does not
just mean freedom from illness,
but a state of overall social,
emotional, physical, spiritual and
cultural welfare.
BIODIVERSITY SUPPORTS
FOOD SECURITY, DIETARY
HEALTH, LIVELIHOOD
SUSTAINABILITY
Genetic diversity in food systems provides
the foundation of crop development and
food security, and promotes resistance and
resilience to environmental stresses
including pests and diseases of crops and
livestock. Diets based on a diversity of food
species promote health, and can help to
protect against disease by addressing the
problem of micronutrient and vitamin
deficiencies.
BIODIVERSITY
PROVIDES IMPORTANT
RESOURCES FOR
MEDICAL RESEARCH
Studies of wildlife anatomy,
physiology and biochemistry can
lead to important developments in
human medicine.

osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorders, renal
disease and diabetes)

BIODIVERSITY SUPPORTS FOOD SECURITY,
DIETARY HEALTH, LIVELIHOOD SUSTAINABILITY
GENETIC DIVERSITY IN FOOD SYSTEMS
PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION OF CROP
DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD SECURITY, AND
PROMOTES RESISTANCE AND RESILIENCE TO
ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSES INCLUDING PESTS
AND DISEASES OF CROPS AND LIVESTOCK.
Biodiversity
provides important
resources for
traditional and
modern medicine
Biodiversity loss can impact on community
traditions and livelihoods centered on
traditional medicinal practices that utilize
wild animals and plants, particularly for
indigenous and local communities.
Modern drugs
derived from wild
species include
INTER ALIA PAIN KILLERS (E.G.
ZINCONITIDE FROM CONE SNAIL
TOXIN), CARDIAC DRUGS (E.G.
LANOXIN FROM DIGITALIS PLANTS),
ANTI-CANCER DRUGS (E.G. TAXOL
FROM TAXUS TREES AND HYCAMTIN
FROM CAMPTOTHECA TREES) AND
TREATMENTS FOR DIABETES
(INCLUDING EXANITIDE FROM
HELODERMA LIZARDS).
Biodiversity plays
a role in the
regulation and
control of
infectious
diseases
Biodiversity loss and ecosystem
change can increase the risk of
emergence or spread of infectious
diseases in animals, plants and
humans, including economically
important livestock diseases,
zoonotic outbreaks and global
pandemics.
In recent years outbreaks of SARS,
Ebola, Marburg, Hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome, avian
influenza and malaria have been
attributed to human impacts on
biodiversity, the wildlife trade or
unsustainable land use change.
Biodiversity has
social, cultural
and spiritual
importance within
communities
Ecosystem change can result in disconnection
of populations from open spaces or the wider
countryside, with negative implications for
physical and mental well-being and loss of
“sense of place”. This has been linked to an
increased prevalence of ‘diseases of affluence’
(diabetes, obesity, cardio-pulmonary illness)
and psychological disorders in many
communities.
Conservation of
biodiversity is
essential for
climate change
adaptation
Climate change will have a range of significant
impacts on human health, many of which are directly
associated with climate impacts on ecosystems. For
example, changes in the ecology of pathogens, or in
the populations or distribution of disease vectors
such as mosquitoes, could lead to changes in disease
patterns and increase the risk of outbreaks. Loss of
ecosystem services also places communities at
greater risk from other climate impacts, such as
extreme weather events, drought and crop failure.
Intact ecosystems
can reduce disaster
risks and support
relief and recovery
efforts
Biodiversity and healthy ecosystems can provide
important natural buffers against natural disasters
such as floods, drought and landslides. Habitat loss
is also a contributory factor in desertification and
dryland salinity, impacting on livelihoods
community stability. Those who are poor or sick, or
who experience low levels of livelihood security,
are likely to be at greatest risk from such events.
WHAT IS GMO?
A GENETICALLY MODIFIED
ORGANISM, OR GMO, IS AN
ORGANISM THAT HAS HAD
ITS DNA ALTERED OR
MODIFIED IN SOME WAY
THROUGH GENETIC
ENGINEERING.
In most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from
another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus or
animal; these organisms are sometimes referred to as
"transgenic" organisms. Genetics from a spider that
helps the arachnid produce silk, for example, could be
inserted into the DNA of an ordinary goat.
It sounds far-fetched, but that is the exact process used
to breed goats that produce silk proteins in their goat
milk, Science Nation reported. Their milk is then
harvested, and the silk protein is then isolated to make a
lightweight, ultra strong silk material with a wide range
of industrial and medical uses.
GENETICALLY
MODIFIED
FOOD
According to the National Library of Medicine
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED, OR
GM, FOODS ARE THOSE THAT
HAVE HAD FOREIGN GENES FROM
OTHER PLANTS OR ANIMALS
INSERTED INTO THEIR GENETIC
CODES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN
FOODS THAT ARE
CONSISTENTLY FLAVORED, AS
WELL AS RESISTANT TO DISEASE
AND DROUGHT.
THE BANANAS THEMSELVES ARE STERILE.
BY FAR, THE BIGGEST USE OF GMO TECHNOLOGY
IS IN LARGE-SCALE AGRICULTURAL CROPS. AT
LEAST 90% OF THE SOY, COTTON, CANOLA, CORN
AND SUGAR BEETS SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES
HAVE BEEN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED. THE
ADOPTION OF HERBICIDE-RESISTANT CORN,
WHICH HAD BEEN SLOWER IN PREVIOUS YEARS,
HAS ACCELERATED, REACHING 89% OF U.S.
CORN ACREAGE IN 2014 AND 2015, ACCORDING
TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST DRAWS FOR WIDESPREAD
ADOPTION OF GMO CROPS IS PEST RESISTANCE.
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION, ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY
USED METHODS FOR INCORPORATING PEST
RESISTANCE INTO PLANTS IS THROUGH
BACILLUSTHURINGIENSIS (BT) GENETICS, A
BACTERIUM THAT PRODUCES PROTEINS THAT
REPEL INSECTS. GMO CROPS THAT ARE
MODIFIED WITH THE BT GENE HAVE A PROVEN
RESISTANCE TO INSECT PESTS, THUS REDUCING
THE NEED FOR WIDE-SCALE SPRAYING OF
SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES.
ARE GMOS
SAFE?
ANTI-GMO ACTIVISTS ARGUE THAT GMOS CAN
CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AND HEALTH
PROBLEMS FOR CONSUMERS.
ONE SUCH ANTI-GMO ORGANIZATION IS THE
CENTER FOR FOOD SAFETY, WHICH CALLS THE
GENETIC ENGINEERING OF PLANTS AND
ANIMALS POTENTIALLY "ONE OF THE GREATEST
AND MOST INTRACTABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY."
WHY GMOS
ARE GOOD?
Many scientific organizations and industry
groups agree that the fear-mongering that runs
through discussions of GMO foods is more
emotional than factual. "Indeed, the science is
quite clear: crop improvement by the modern
molecular techniques of biotechnology is safe,"
the American Association for the Advancement
of Science (AAAS) said in a 2012 statement.
