Editor's Notes
Human innovation in action!
People have to need it – people have to want it – in order for technology to happen.
When we study Science, we look at it in different subject areas.
Earth Science
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Astronomy
Meteorology
Other specialty areas such as Quantum Physics and Computer Science
Just like with science, when we study technology we look at it in the following categories
These forms of technology will be discussed throughout the presentation.
Information Technology is the process of gathering and storing data to be used in various forms.
Provides streamlined access to vast sources of information
Allows us to produce more accurate forms of communication
Includes expanded resource choices
Enables us to retrieve data in seconds
Impacts slides will provide one positive and one negative example. There should be a class discussion about how other technologies impact the student, school, community, world, etc.
COMPUTERS – Use of a computer to easily gather and store data
OBSCELENCE –Machines must be maintained and upgraded
Yellow Pages book compared to finding phone numbers on line – or stored in the memory of a phone.
Communication Technology is a process of giving or exchanging information.
Provides streamlined publishing techniques and allows us to produce more accurate drawings
Includes expanded entertainment choices
Enables us to contact people thousands of miles away
CAD – Using a computer to generate more accurate drawings in a shorter period of time
PAPER USAGE – People tend to create and print more documents
Bio-related Technology
Pharmaceuticals
Artificial limbs
Genetic engineering
Hydroponics
Imaging devices
Cardiovascular devices

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history. The HGP gave us the ability to, for the first time, to read nature's complete genetic blueprint for building a human being.
Agricultural biotechnology is a range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques, that alter living organisms, or parts of organisms, to make or modify products; improve plants or animals; or develop microorganisms for specific agricultural uses. Modern biotechnology today includes the tools of genetic engineering. Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which makes weed control simpler and more efficient. Other crops have been engineered to be resistant to specific plant diseases and insect pests, which can make pest control more reliable and effective, and/or can decrease the use of synthetic pesticides. These crop production options can help countries keep pace with demands for food while reducing production costs. Advances in biotechnology may provide consumers with foods that are nutritionally-enriched or longer-lasting, or that contain lower levels of certain naturally occurring toxicants present in some food plants. Developers are using biotechnology to try to reduce saturated fats in cooking oils, reduce allergens in foods, and increase disease-fighting nutrients in foods. They are also researching ways to use genetically engineered crops in the production of new medicines, which may lead to a new plant-made pharmaceutical industry that could reduce the costs of production using a sustainable resource. http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?contentidonly=true&navid=AGRICULTURE&contentid=BiotechnologyFAQs.xml
DISEASE – Research on controlling and eliminating diseases
DISEASE – Not all cultures embrace use of vaccines and thus disease spreads
FOOD – More variety, healthier choices, processed so that it is safe and tastes good
GENTICALLY ALTERED CROPS – Potential for weeds and insects to mutate and become resistant
Environmental Technology is study of processes to control waste, soil erosion, reducing sediment in waterways, conserving water, and improving water quality.
DISEASE – Reduces chance of disease from pollution and chemicals
Natural (found in nature) or Synthetic (human-made)
Examples of Manufacturing Technology: Clothing, entertainment devices, automobiles, chemical products, lumber, steel, food
Examples of Construction Technology: Houses, high-rise buildings, bridges, roads, dams, schools
Decking - Recycled plastic and saw dust to make simulated wood deck materials
Car bodies can be made from plastic instead of metal. The B-2 bomber uses high tech composites to achieve its stealth capabilities.
The materials that form a composite are not changed. They work together to create a new material with desirable qualities.
Materials technology enables us to design durable construction components. The ability to design and adopt better-performing, energy-saving, cost-efficient materials with known durability characteristics is key to our construction industries future.
Traveling long distances faster
Use of energy, pollution
Technological products and systems need energy to function.
The availability of energy often determines the development of technology.
In the last slide, we stated that energy is the capacity to do work. In this definition, we are referring to potential energy.
Once we have potential energy, we put it to use by converting it into kinetic energy.
We have power when we can apply kinetic energy over a period of time to do work.
Power makes work easier.
Burning fossil fuels causes greenhouse gases associated with global warming.
Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical...) at that length scale. For comparison, 10 nanometers is 1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. A scientific and technical revolution has just begun based upon the ability to systematically organize and manipulate matter at nanoscale. http://www.ipt.arc.nasa.gov/nanotechnology.html
MOLECULAR MANUFACTURING – Faster diagnosis of diseases
MOLECULAR MANUFACTURING – Weapons and surveillance devices can be made small, cheap, and powerful.
