1 Technology in a Changing World Ch1: Pages 2 – 25 (text) “COPY”

2 Key Words Agriculture Bronze Age Change Communications Energy Exponential Industrial Revolution Information Age Iron Age Manufacturing Mass Production Resources Science Stone Age Technology Technologically Literate

3 Technology Satisfies… 1.Our Need to Produce Food 2.Our Medical Needs 3.Our Need for Manufactured Items 4.Our Need for Energy Sources 5.Our Need to Communicate 6.Our Transportation Needs “COPY”

4 Think-Pair-Share “Science & Technology”

5 Science & Technology Defined… Science is… » the study of why natural things happen the way they do Technology is… » = Use of the knowledge to turn resources into goods & services needed by society “COPY”

6 Technologists use knowledge, tools and skills to solve problems. Technology suggests doing!  Can create both positive and negative social outcomes  Has existed since the beginning of human race  Growing at a faster rate today than ever before because our knowledge doubles every 4 years.

7 Scientists & Technologists Work Together… Scientists – Study the Earth, how it was formed and what it is made from Technologists – Use the materials found in the Earth to make useful objects. Scientists – Study relationships between the Earth, Planets and Stars. Technologists – Build and launch space shuttles and satellites.

8 Scientists & Technologists Work Together… Scientists – Discover the way the human body works. Technologists – Make artificial limbs and organs. Scientists – Discover the genetic codes that determine the nature of life Technologists – Use these codes to develop new medicines and vaccines.

9 Significant Early Technological Advancement… Technology is our major means of adjusting our environment. We can create a world different from the world we inherited from nature. Water Wheel –Early example of human muscle being replaced by artificial muscle.
