ZIA: Hello Philippines and hello world! Welcome to “The Daily Talk”!
I already travelled in Asian countries and recently, I have been to
China and South Korea. In that, I have seen the results brought by
innovation and technological advances in the information age.
Several of you might possess heard of it, but for the benefit of the
doubt, let’s just take a look at this clip. (PLAY VIDEO)
ZIA: With the help of our special guests, we will be discussing about
the Asian Scientific Revolution. Ladies and gentlemen, our first guest
is the Secretary General of the Association of East Asian Nations,
Ms. Rosario Purificacion and our second guest is a renowned
historian of Asia Ms. Rea Baranda. (Crowd applause and cheer)
ZIA: Welcome to “The Daily Talk”, Ms. Rosario and Ms. Rea. Thank
you for being with us today. It is a pleasure to meet you both.
ZIA: Now tell me, in Asian countries like Japan, which is one of the
most advanced countries in the world, what are some innovations
that changed the world?
GIA: The laptops we all work from? Toshiba was the first to produce
them for a mass market. The emoji you used in your last email? Also, a
Japanese invention. In fact, according to a Forbes analysis, Japan is
home to almost 10% of the world’s most innovative companies. One of
their most promising products is the Bullet train (1964). With a top
speed of 210 kph, the world’s first bullet train reduced the journey from
Tokyo and Osaka which is 247 miles (397 kilometers) away to 4 hours.
Today, thanks to further technological developments, the trip takes just
over 2 hours, soon to be reduced to around an hour.
ZIA: Wow! That’s really amazing and helpful especially in our day to
day life. I just hope that the Philippine government would also think of
adapting that bullet train system for us particularly to address the traffic
problem in our country.
ZIA: Thank you madam! Now, let’s ask madam historian, what can you
add up about the scientific revolution in Asia?
