Process
File 1.1.1: Enduring Ideas of Technology

Complete each question using your background knowledge. There is no right or

wrong response. You will be asked to share your responses with the class.

1. Can people survive without technology? _Physically they can but it can make life
a bit harder because this generation is so use to technology. Grandparents probably
could because they dont really know how to work technology.

2. As technology advances, do people live longer or shorter lives? _ Scientist made

machines that helps with cancer, diabetes & aids patients. In good causes
technology dose or can make you live longer.

3. As technology advances, does technology become more or less complex? More

Complex, I honestly believe that in the future we are going to be using flying cars &
can walk through television just an amazement from the 21 st century. ____
4. As technology advances, do people become more or less specialized in the things
they do for a living? _Less, a lot of teenagers rather sit inside than go out for sports
or just to go outside & play so the technology is really going to hypnotize us.

5. As technology advances, do the tools and processes we use to make,

build, and do things become more efficient (become faster and require
less material, energy and fewer people)? _Depending on what the
machine or kind of electronic they have in time they might not even need
any humans to do the job, if the electronic is really fast it might get done
in hours while we get done in days.

7. As technology advances, do the things we make, become: more reliable?

Safer? More durable? Perform better? ___________Out of all of those probably
more reliable, we usually are able to do it ourselves but were so lazy so they
new technology are able to do it or help us out with our
work._______________________________________________________

7. As technology advances, does it require more or fewer science and math

applications? No technology will always be science & math those two subjects are
how you get & make the equipment
together.__________________________________________________________
