Modern Ages
• As the world population steadily increased, people of the
modern ages realized the utmost of important increasing
the efficiency of transportation, communication and
production. Industrialization took place with greater risk in
human health, food safety and environment which had to
be addressed as scientific and technological progress
unfolded at an unimaginable speed.
 Compound Microscope
A Dutch spectacle maker named Zacharias Jansen is
credited for the invention of the first compound
microscope in 1590. Together with his father Hans,
Zacharias began experimenting with lenses by putting
together several lenses on a tube. This led to an
amazing discovery that an object, when place near the
end of the tube, can be magnified far larger than what a
simple magnifying lens can do. It was capable of
magnifying objects three times their size when fully
closed and up to ten times when extended to be
maximum. Today, the compound microscope is an
important instrument in many scientific studies, such as
in the areas of medicine, forensic studies, tissue
analysis, atomic studies and genetics.
Telescope
Perhaps the single, most important technological
invention in the study of astronomy during the modern
ages was the practical telescope invented by Galileo
Galilei. This invention could magnify objects 20 times
larger than the Dutch perspective glasses. It was
Galileo who first used the telescope skyward and
made important astronomical discoveries, and
identified the presence of craters and mountains on
the moon. Galileo remarkable technological
contribution drastically changed the study of
astronomy. For the first time, it became clear that the
universe is far larger than previously imagine and the
earth far smaller compared to the entire universe.
Jacquard Loom
As the industrial revolution reach full speed, the
Jacquard Loom considered as one of the most critical
drivers of the revolution. Built by French weaver
Joseph Marie Jacquard, the Jacquard Loom simplifies
textile manufacturing. Prior to the invention of the
Jacquard Loom, a drawloom was used which required
two individuals to operate – the weaver and drawboy –
if figured designs on textiles were needed. As such,
intensified manual labor and greater effort had to be
exerted to produce complex design. In 1801, Jacquard
demonstrated the ingenuity of his version of a loom in
which a series of cards with punched holes
automatically created complex textile design and
made mass production easier.
 Engine-Powered Airplane
Orville Wright and Wirbur Wright are credited for
designing and successfully operated the first engine-
powered aircraft. The Wright brothers approached the
design of powered aircraft and flight scientifically.
Orville and Wilbur proved that aircraft could fly without
airfoil shaped wings. They demonstrated this in their
original flying machine patent (US patent #821393),
showing that slightly tilted wings, which they referred
to us aeroplanes, were the features of a powered
aircraft. Their pioneering success marked an age of
powered flights. Sans modern knowledge on
aerodynamics made a comprehensive understanding
of the working aircraft wings, the Wright brothers were
brilliant scientists who paved the way for modern
aircraft technology.
Television
The Scottish engineer John Logie Baird is largely
credited for the invention of modern television. Baird
successfully televised object in outline in 1924,
recognizable human faces in 1925, and moving
object in 1926, and projected colored in 1928.
Baird’s television technology caught on really swiftly.
In fact, the British broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
use this for earlier television programming in 1929.
Despite being the first television invented, Bair’s
television was later on criticized for its fuzzy and
flickering images, primarily because it was
mechanical compared to electronic versions that
were developed much later.
What are some of the famous Filipino
Scientists inventions/innovations?
The Philippines boasts of, its own history and tradition of scientific and
technological innovations. Filipinos have long been known for their ingenuity.
As with all other inventions, necessity has always been the mother of
Philippines inventions. Most of these inventions appealed to the social and
cultural context of the archipelagic nation. Throughout Philippine History,
Filipinos are responsible for developing many scientific and technological
innovations focused on navigation, traditional shipbuilding, textiles, food
processing, indigenous arts and techniques, and even cultural inventions
 Electronic Jeepney (e-jeepney)
The jeepney perhaps one of the most recognizable national
symbol of the Philippines and the most popular mode of
public transportation in the country. It is also perhaps one of
the most enduring symbols of Filipino ingenuity. Jeepney
were designed and improvised from scratch out of military
jeeps that the Americans left in the country after World war
II. As demand for more responsive transportation technology
arose, the e-jeepney was introduced in Metro Manila and
Bacolod City. The e-jeepney is the inventive response to
criticism to the traditional jeepney that belched smoke,
directly causing air pollution which made it unsustainable
and uneconomical. E-jeepney’s are design to be
environment-friendly, eliminating niose and air pollution as
they run on electricity. They are also more economical for
electricity is far cheaper than ordinary diesel, allowing
jeepney drivers to earn more profit.
Erythromycin
Perhaps one of the most important medical
inventions is the Erythromycin. The ilonggo
scientist Abelardo Aguilar invented this
antibiotic out of a strain of bacterium called
Streptomyces erythreus, from which this drug
derived its name. as with the case of several
other local scientists, however, Aguilar was not
credited for this discovery by Eli Lili Co., Aguilar
US employer, to whom he sent the strain for
separation. The US company eventually owned
the merits for this discovery.
 Medical Incubator
World-renowned Filipino Pediatrician national scientist, Fe Del
Mundo, is credited for the invention of the incubator and jaundice
relieving device. Del Mundo was the first woman pediatrician to be
admitted to the prestigious Harvard University’s school of medicine.
She is also the founder of the first pediatric hospital in the country.
Her pioneering work in pediatrics that spanned a total of eight
decades won her the 1977 Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia’s
premier prize granted to outstanding individual whose selfless
service remarkably contributed to the betterment of [Link]
original improvised incubator consisted of two native laundry
baskets of different sizes that are placed on side the other. Warmth
is generated by bottles with hot water placed around the baskets. A
makeshift hood over that allows oxygen to circulate inside the
incubator. Del Mundo’s incubator was particularly outstanding as it
addressed the state of Philippine rural communities that had no
electricity to aid the regulation of body temperatures of newborn
babies.
Mole Remover
In 2000, a local invention that had the ability to easily
remove moles and warts on the skin without the need
for any surgical procedures shot to fame. Rolando De
la Cruz, credited for the invention of a local mole
remover that made use of extracts of cashew nuts
(Annacardium occidentale), which are very common
in the Philippines. The indigenous formula easily
caught on for its accessibility, affordability, industrial
design, and technological exhibition in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia in 2000.
Banana Ketchup
Filipino food technologies, Maria Orasa,is credited for
the invention of babana ketchup, a variety of ketchup
different from the commonly known tomato ketchup.
Her invention appeals particularly to Filipinos who love
using condiments to go along with their food. Historical
accounts posit that Orasa invented the banana
ketchup at the backdrop of World War ii when there
was a huge shortage of tomatoes. As a result, Orasa
developed a variety of ketchup that made use of
mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices, which
were all readily available. Orasa’s banana ketchup is
brownish yellow in natural color, but is dyed is red
resemble the color of the most loved tomato ketchup.
