12 Technology Advantages Fewer Geographic Limitations Increased Access to Information Ease of Communication Labor Saving Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

13 Technology Disadvantages Privacy Identity Theft Nuisances (SPAM) Security Electronic IDs Threat from computer viruses Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

14 The Past Take a look at where we started. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

15 The First Apple Computer Developed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

16 Altair 8080 The Altair 8080 was a microcomputer kit first introduced in 1975 in Popular Electronics magazine. It was not the first available microcomputer but it was the start of the industry. Ed Roberts developed the Altair 8080. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

17 Bill Gates and the Altair 8080 Programming the Altair 8080 was difficult. Bill Gates and Paul Allen contacted Roberts and offered to sell him BASIC programming language. Gates and Allen developed the product and formed the company they called Micro-Soft (now spelled Microsoft). Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved. BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general- purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.

18 1964 IBM System / 360 Mainframe Central Units Memory = 8 MB Today’s Apple iPod Touch (3 rd Generation = 64 GB Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved. 1000 MB = 1 GB

19 Moore’s Law In 1965, Gordon Moore, a co-founder of Intel, made the observation that the number of components per integrated circuit doubled every 2 years. Largely, that prediction has held true. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

23 My Prediction Increased connectivity Example Ability to program devices in the home from remote locations such as start dinner, scan the home for security purposes, or check on the children from miles away. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

24 The Future Imagine the Future Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

25 Look at these Emerging Areas Biotechnology Nanotechnology Information Technology Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

26 Biotechnology As defined by the U.S. government, this refers to any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants and animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use. Biotechnology focuses on the practical applications of science. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

27 Nanotechnology The science of building devices at the molecular and atomic level. A single data bit might be represented by only one molecule some time in the future. Could be used in computers and communications devices Nanotechnology could be used: to build devices to change the properties of materials in biotechnology Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

28 Potential Uses of Nanotechnology Nano-spheres to deliver drugs directly to their target. Using nano-scale manufacturing processes to make smaller and faster processors. Using nano-scale properties to make fabrics that are: stain resistant crease-free resist bacteria Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

29 Information Technology Information Technology (IT) refers to the use of technology in managing and processing information. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

30 Information Technology If a company uses a database to keep track of inventory, is that IT? If a company uses a Point of Sale (POS) computerized system to keep track of sales and inventory, is that IT? The answer to both questions is YES. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

31 Technology Do you think that information technology, biotechnology and nanotechnology overlap? What about the future? Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved.

36 What will the Future Look Like? If more people work from home, how does that change our social fabric? Saves fuel and other resources. Will social skills decline due to less interaction with colleagues? If students attend school using the Internet from home, how does that change the social fabric of our society?
