The roles of educational technology in learning
From a constructivist perspective, educational technology can serve in several roles to support learning. It can act as a tool for learners to construct knowledge by representing their ideas and producing multimedia knowledge bases. Technology can also act as an information vehicle for learners to access information, compare perspectives and support learning through exploration. Additionally, technology can provide contexts for learners to problem solve and represent real-world situations in a safe environment. A further role is using technology as a social medium to facilitate collaboration, discussion and discourse among learners. Finally, technology can serve as an intellectual partner to help learners reflect on what they know and how they came to know it.
Patent troll
The document discusses patent trolls, who acquire patents without intending to use them for production, and instead seek to license the patents or sue alleged infringers. Patent trolls exploit inefficiencies in the patent system to obtain lucrative settlements through injunction threats or by targeting industries that would face high switching costs to alternative technologies. While universities and individual inventors who license their patents are not considered trolls, trolls can still effectively exploit the patent system to obtain damages from non-copiers of patented inventions.

Information needs
Information is created to satisfy both creators and users, and is disseminated through various media. There are different types of information needs, from actual unexpressed needs to formal statements of need. Several scholars have studied the continuum of information needs. Effective information systems must be aware of and respond to community needs in order to satisfy users. When information needs are not met, such as in a study where 70% of the US population did not use libraries, it can have negative consequences like declining library budgets. Ongoing study of information needs is important for information agencies to plan effective services.

This document discusses several emerging technologies including nanotechnology, quantum computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, digitized biology, space technologies, extended reality, drones, alternative energy, blockchain, internet-of-things, cryptography, 3D printing, crowdfunding, and crowdsourcing. It provides brief definitions and descriptions of each technology.
Ethic&Technology
This document discusses the ethical dimensions of technologies used to prolong life, such as considerations around euthanasia. It presents a multi-dimensional approach to technology, considering both the concrete artifacts as well as the social rules and communications that develop around technologies. Technologies to prolong life have generated discussions and decisions around euthanasia. Both individuals and medical systems develop their own ethics regarding defending or prolonging life, which interact and shape technologies and their acceptance. The ethics dimension of technology is seen as both a dialectic process between these perspectives and a second order technology that administers and determines the use of first order life prolonging technologies.
Industry and technology
Technology refers to both the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes and the physical objects created through that application. It encompasses tools, machines, knowledge, processes, activities, and sociotechnical systems. Industry involves the production of economic goods and services and is typically divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. As technology and the internet continue advancing, connecting people and machines globally, economies and societies will undergo transformations in how they function.
Technology As A Tool 4 Development
Technology can be used as a tool for development by building human capabilities. It can enable people to live longer and healthier lives, acquire knowledge, enjoy a decent standard of living, and participate in social, economic, and political life. Technological change can spur economic growth and increases in productivity, freeing up resources that can be invested in health, education, and infrastructure to further development goals. Examples of how technology has been used for development include financial modeling, traffic engineering, intelligent transportation systems using information technology, and nuclear technology for sustainable infrastructure projects.
1) Is technology the critical driver of globalization- 2) What is the.docx
1) Is technology the critical driver of globalization?
2) What is the nature of this arguement conceived by: liberlism, mercantilism, and marxism?
Solution
Technological developments are considered as the main facilitator and also driving force of most of the globalization processes.
Technology is defined as the socialized knowledge of producing goods and services. We could describe the term technology with five important elements: production, knowledge, instruments, possession and change. The definition of technology as a socialized knowledge can be conceived better with these elements. We shall look through them:
Technology has something to do with production (of the goods and services). We need technology to produce something either goods (ex: television set, cars etc.) or service (ex: security, teaching etc.) Technology enhances our capacity to produce.
Technology has a relationship with knowledge . Technology is an outcome of intellectual activities. Therefore technology is a type of an intellectual property. Nowadays technology is developed through research and development institutions as integral parts of several universities.
Technology has a connect with with instruments . Instruments are considered the extensions of the human body, whenever an instrument is used there is technology involved. The instruments show the usage of technology by human beings. Instruments are mostly physical like computers, vacuum cleaners, but sometimes there are immaterial instruments like databases in computer programming.
Technology has to do with possession . Those people that possess technology also control it. Controlling technology has something to do with economics and politics. Thus, we speak of technologically rich and poor countries as well as the struggle among them usually in the forms of patents, transfers and protection of intellectual rights.
Technology has to do with change . Due to technology, the world has changed drastically. Many of the innovations from the technological advances have important effects on lives of peoples of the world, that has witnessed radical changes more so after 1960

History
Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems. It involves designing solutions to technical problems, acquiring and applying technical, scientific, and mathematical knowledge to implement inventions for the benefit of society. The discipline has existed since ancient times as humans devised tools and inventions to solve problems, and the term "engineering" has evolved over centuries to encompass specialized fields that apply technology and science.

This document provides an overview of technology transfer concepts. It defines technology transfer as the movement of technology and knowledge from a provider to a receiver in exchange for compensation. It discusses different types of technology transfer, including property rights, scientific knowledge, technical knowledge, capital goods, and information and communication technology. It also examines key concepts like research and development. The document aims to explain the different forms and processes of technology transfer.
Del rosario humss 111 - technology
Technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. It involves the creation and use of technical means to solve problems or invent useful tools. In computing, a device is a piece of hardware, either internal or external to the computer, that provides input or output. The document discusses how technology has changed learning through interactive textbooks, expanded research capabilities online, and replaced chalkboards with projectors. While technology has improved education and communication, it also enables overdependence, resource depletion, and pollution if not used properly.

Explain how the development of technology is a system of events and not just a single event.
Give a historical example that demonstrates this concept.
Solution
Engineering, the systematic application of scientific knowledge in developing and applying
technology, has grown from a craft to become a science in itself. Scientific knowledge provides a
means of estimating what the behavior of things will be even before we make them or observe
them. Moreover, science often suggests new kinds of behavior that had not even been imagined
before, and so leads to new technologies. Engineers use knowledge of science and technology,
together with strategies of design, to solve practical problems.
In return, technology provides the eyes and ears of science—and some of the muscle, too. The
electronic computer, for example, has led to substantial progress in the study of weather systems,
demographic patterns, gene structure, and other complex systems that would not have been
possible otherwise. Technology is essential to science for purposes of measurement, data
collection, treatment of samples, computation, transportation to research sites (such as
Antarctica, the moon, and the ocean floor), sample collection, protection from hazardous
materials, and communication. More and more, new instruments and techniques are being
developed through technology that make it possible to advance various lines of scientific
research.
Technology does not just provide tools for science, however; it also may provide motivation and
direction for theory and research. The theory of the conservation of energy, for example, was
developed in large part because of the technological problem of increasing the efficiency of
commercial steam engines. The mapping of the locations of the entire set of genes in human
DNA has been motivated by the technology of genetic engineering, which both makes such
mapping possible and provides a reason for doing so..

1. Engineering can be defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. While there are many definitions, engineering essentially represents techniques, applications, and processes used to create products and solve problems through textual representations.
2. Scientific texts are key to engineering because they represent phenomena, behaviors, techniques, and processes. Complex technical documents are also important as they accurately describe products and operations in a stable, simple, and explanatory way despite variations.
3. The main difference between science and engineering is that science aims to observe and explain through research, while engineering emphasizes taking action and creating changes to solve practical problems. The same textual representations can be considered science or engineering depending on the goal and usage.
