Modern Household Technology

In North America same as in Philippines, modern technology is pervasive in everyday life. Any doubts about its importance in giving qualities of immediacy, flexibility, and physical comfort to contemporary life are quickly stilled by spending even a weekend in a country house which lacks electricity and running water.

The impact of modern technology is on ordinary activities perinient to cooking, cleaning, controlling the enviroment. and personal hygiene, its sociological impact is more difficult to asses.

And in contrast to popular impressions, historical and sociological studies of household equipment call into question the time saving effect and show that the most most important development in technology.

It also indicate the more complex relationship between technological developments and roles of children and suggest that the impact on the family division of labor.

Needs of Home Economics

The purpose of the study was to examine the perceived needs of home eco nomics faculty members regarding the acquisition and management of sponsored research funding. Current and desired levels of skill were assessed, using the Faculty Needs Assessment: Acquisition and Management of Sponsored Funding. Both current and desired skill levels were perceived to be highest in the area of proposal writing and lowest in the area of project management. There were sig nificant positive relationships between current and desired skill levels. Analyses based on demographic variables revealed significant differences on current levels of skill for gender, academic rank, and tenure status. On desired levels of skill, significant differences were found for gender and length of experience. The re sults provide a basis for designing development activities which will enable home economics faculty members to compete more effectively in the research arena.

AGRICULTURAL ISSUES

Although the Philippines is rich in agricultural potential, inadequate infrastructure, lack of financing, and government policies have limited productivity gains. Philippine farms produce food crops for domestic consumption and cash crops for export.

The Philippines has a very diverse range of fishing areas but good prospects for the agriculture subsector, the marine fishing industry continues to face a bleak future due to destructive fishing methods, a lack of funds, and inadequate government support. Our agricultural sectors are incompetent due to the little attention given to them.
