About Technology
The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
Technology
Technology can be defined as applications of science for useful purposes to benefit society. In human history, the development and use of basic tools was the original and simplest form of technology. The invention of the wheel was another major advance which helped humans to travel through their environment withease and speed. More recent developments include the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet. All of these inventions becanse quickly widespread and have made communication easier and easier, such that communication on a global scale is an everyday occurrence.
Technology has many effects. It has advanced economies (including the global economy we now live in) and made life much easier. However, many technological processes produce pollution as a by-product. They often also require scarce natural resources that are difficult to source without destroying the Earth's environment.
Technology at secondary school includes Generic Technology, as well as the strands of Construction and Mechanical Technologies and Processing Technologies. Digital Technology is a separate subject.
Construction & Mechanical Technology focuses on making and knowing how to make products and devices. This topic includes current school courses such as: hard materials, product development, textiles, automotive, furniture making, fashion, etc.
Processing Technology focuses on formulating and knowing how to formulate processed products. This topic includes current school courses such as: Food technology, biotechnology, chemical technology, agriculture and horticulture, product development, and textiles, etc.
