  • is comprised of the products and processes created that meet our needs and wants.
    Technology
  • Study of our human-made world
    Deals with "what can be”
    Technology
  • Study of our natural world
    Deals with "what is”
    science
  • Process of gathering and storing data to be used in various forms
    Information Technology
  • provides streamlined access to vast sources of information
    Information Technology
  • Machines must be maintained and upgraded
    Obscelence
  • Use of a computer to easily gather and store data
    Computers
  • helps with the giving or exchanging of information.
    Communication technology
  • is a process of giving or exchanging information.

    cad
  • people tend to create and print more documents
    paper usage
  • transforms living things into products or new forms of life.
    bio-related technology
  • Produces  efficient  variety of plants and animals for food,  and source of fiber
    Highly modernized fertilizer, irrigation system, food preservation, weed and insect control
    Agricultural Technology
  • creates tools to treat disease and injury
    X-rays, lasers, prostheses, ultrasound, medications
    medical technology
  • Creates tools to minimize the effect of technology on the environment
    e.g. waste management & recycling, hybrid vehicles, conservation.
    environmental technology
  • processes to control waste, soil erosion, reducing sediment in waterways, conserving water, and improving water quality.
    environmental technology
  • Manufacturing of physical goods on an assembly line and the construction of structures on a job site
    production technology
  • Changes natural or synthetic materials into usable products
    e.g. automobile factories, clothing factories, food factories
    manufacturing technology
  • Builds structures that support loads and protect us from the environment.
    e.g. residential construction (homes), bridge construction, road construction
    construction technology
  • Develops materials with outstanding combinations of mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties.
    e.g. BpA free plastic, asbestos insulation, mosquito repellent clothing, artificial skin grafts for burn victims, composite decking
