TECHNOLOGY
 is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes or
applications

 Uses scientific principles and applies them to change the environment in

which humans live.

Types of Technology

1. Mechanical Technology 4. Electronic technology

2. Medical technology 5. Industrial and manufacturing technologies

3. Communication technology
TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY
 Mechanical Technology
 Mechanical technology is the use of simple machines to solve problems
 pulleys, levers, wheels and axles, wedges, inclined planes, and even cogs and
gears
 Medical technology
 is technology that serves the purpose of diagnosing, treating, or preventing
disease

 MRI scanners

 Communication technology
 tools used to communicate
 telegrams to telephones
TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY

 Electronic technology
 requires electricity
 electronic devices

Industrial and manufacturing technologies

 technology with the goal of either producing a product on a large scale, or
performing another large-scale function where customers are not directly
present

 manufacturing cars
ECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION
 technological change that draw on mechanisms from evolutionary biology

Two distinct ways of technological evolution

 through gradual, incremental modifications in existing products and
processes
 through discontinuous leaps in technology caused by the introduction of
entirely revolutionary new innovations
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE
 Technological change refers to the improvement of the already existing
technologies and inventing new ones to improve the existing products in the
market while also creating new ones.

TECHNOLOGICAL STAGES

 Invention

 Innovation

 Diffusion
TECHNOLOGICAL STAGES

 Invention
 the creation of a new product or process

 Innovation

 the application of the invention for the first time

 Diffusion

 how fast others begin to adopt the innovation

IMPACTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE

 Creates new products and processes  Decreases self-reliance

 Increases efficiency, lower costs

 Negatively affects the value of workers

 Helps economies evolve

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

 THE PAST: WORLD, MEET THE INTERNET

 WEBSITES AND BLOGGING ARE BORN--

 FLOPPY DISCS: THE REAL-LIFE SAVE ICON--

 THE PRESENT: SNAPS, CHATS, AND DOUBLE TAPS

 CUTTING THE CORD: THE ERA OF VIDEO
 SOCIAL MEDIA
STREAMING

 FACE TO FACE (VIRTUALLY SPEAKING

 TODAY’S TECH FORECAST: ICLOUD DAYS AHEAD
