2. Unit 1-Lessons 2-3 Objectives
Lesson 2 Objective
No matter who we are or where we are, technology transforms the way we exist. When people develop technology, they must think about the impacts it might have on society.
Lesson 3 Objective
All technologies depend on manufacturing technologies, which use a system design to produce products, using one or more processes to change the form of materials to produce durable and non-durables goods.
