19th CENTURY ONWARDS

ZITA M. CORPUZ
The booming world population during
the 19th century onwards demanded that
more goods be produced at a faster
rate.

People needed
efficient means of
transportation to
trade more goods
and cover a larger
distance.
Faster, easier means to
communicate and compute
should be developed to
establish connections among
nations.

Machines must be upgraded.

All these needs

resulted to the
development of
INDUSTRIES.
since HEALTH was of
great concern during
the modern times, some
of the bigger challenges
were on:

FOOD PROCESSING
and

MEDICINE
 As people were able to develop better
means of production to meet the needs
of the population, FOOD PRESERVATION
and FOOD SAFETY became an issue.
 The challenge to keep manufactured
food from deteriorating was greater for
dairy products especially MILK, since
they usually spoiled faster.
 Since transporting these goods would
also take time, it would be impossible
to trade the.
 PASTEURIZATION
 A French biologist,
microbiologist and chemist
found a way to solve the
problem.
 He invented pasteurization:
the process of heating dairy
products to kill the harmful
bacteria that allow them to
spoil faster. Through this
process, milk could be
consumed for a longer
period.
 It also prevented illnesses
caused by harmful
Louis Pasteur
bacteria.
Other contributions of Pasteur to
science, technology and medicine
included his works on:
 Molecular asymmetry
 Fermentation , and
 Vaccination
Petroleum Refinery
 The modern times also demanded better
means of powering homes and
transportation.
 At first, people used animal oils for
generating light to illuminate their homes.
 However, the production of animal oils could
not keep up with the demand.
 Faced with this concerns, SAMUEL M. KIER
was able to invent KEROSENE by refining
petroleum.
 The development of kerosene established
the petroleum refinery industry.
TELEPHONE
 People got more connected
by trade and exploration.
 They need to easily
maintain onnections and
communicate with each
other in real time.
 Governments needed
communications to allow
them to administer their
states well.
 Thus the development of
the telephone was one of
the most important
inventions at that time.

Alexander Graham Bell

CALCULATOR
Although an earlier version
of the calculator had already
been developed,
circumstances in the modern
times required faster way to
compute complicated
equations.
The creation of modern
calculators paved the way
to easier arithmetic
calculations.
Such technology paved way
to the development of the
computer.
ACTIVITY:

 In 4 Groups (for the 3 time periods, the last group to Philippine

inventions)
 Each member of the group should search for one great
achievement during the assigned period aside from those
discussed in the chapter.
 Then accomplish the following:
a. Draw or print a picture of your chosen achievement. As a
group, collect and paste these inventions on a ¼ illustration
board. Design the board with a theme appropriate to the
assigned period.
b. Explain in your own words how each invention works. Also
Identify their use and purpose. Paste the information at the
back of the illustration board.
c. Present your project in class. Conclude your report by
discussing how these inventions impacted the people and the
society.
