|Activity 1.1.4 What is Technology? |
Introduction
Technology includes the new products and systems that are developed to solve problems. For example, engines increase the speed at which people can travel. The use of technology sometimes helps to improve our lives by allowing us to travel farther, faster. However, sometimes the consequences are negative. For instance, with increased speed there is an increase in the chance for an accident to be fatal. According to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, speeding is a factor in about one-third of all fatal crashes. So is getting places faster a positive or negative effect of technology?
Equipment
• GTT notebook
Procedure
In this activity you will answer the following questions and complete the charts while your teacher presents What is Technology? You will discuss with your classmates different products of technology and how they have impacted you, your community, and society in general. Consequences of technology may be desirable, undesirable, expected, unexpected, and often a bit of each.
Conclusion 1. What is technology?
Comprised of products and processes created by engineers to meet our needs and wants
2. What is the difference between technology and science?
Tecnology- study of the human made world, deals with what can be
Science- study of our natural world, deals with what is
Define each category of technology listed below, then provide 3 examples. List a positive and negative impact that the invention or innovation has had on society.
