Information Technology

Information Technology allows us to send signals around the world.

Examples:

Television, Internet, satellite, GPS, cell phones

Impacts of Information Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

INTERNET –Information is stored for easy access
INTERNET – Harder to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources

Bio-related and Agricultural Technology

Biotechnology transforms living things into products or new forms of life.

Examples:

Genetic engineering, bionics

Agricultural Technology produces plants and animals for food, fiber, and fuel.

Examples:

Irrigation, food preservation,

weed and insect control

Both deal with living things:

Plants, animals, and people

Impacts of Bio-Related Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

HEALTH – Improves quality of life, vitamins, vaccines, medications
HEALTH – Side effects of some medications – nausea, shortness of breath, etc.

Impacts of Agricultural Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

FERTILIZERS– can make plants produce more food per acre
FERTILIZERS– have found their way into ground water, polluting good drinking water

Medical Technology

Medical Technology creates tools

to treat disease and injury.

Examples:

Lasers, prostheses, ultrasound, medications

Impacts of Medical Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

X-RAYS – Make it easier to diagnose injuries
X-RAYS – Too many x-rays can cause cancer.

Environmental Technology

Environmental Technology creates tools to minimize the effect of technology on the development of living things.

Examples: Hybrid vehicles, conservation, waste management (recycling)

Impacts of Environmental Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

RECYCLING – Improves water and air quality
RECYCLING – Disposal of garbage is more complicated and time consuming

Transportation Technology

Transportation Technology Provides a way for people, animals, products, and materials to be moved from one place to the next.

Examples:

Flight – Airplane, rocket, space shuttle

Land – Train, subway, automobile, bicycle

Water – Commercial, cruise ships

Non-vehicle – Conveyor belts, pipelines

Impacts of Transportation Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

Traveling long distances faster
Accidents

Energy and Power Technology

Energy is the ability or capacity to do work.

Examples:

Chemical Energy  Gasoline

Mechanical Energy  Motion

Thermal Energy  Steam

Electrical Energy  Electricity

Radiant Energy  Light

Energy and Power Technology

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed from one form to another.

Examples:

Electrical power – provides light and operates motors

Mechanical power – moves automobiles, trains, and airplanes

Fluid power – uses fluids to produce motion

Hydraulic – uses a liquid

Pneumatic – uses a gas

Impacts of Energy and Power Technology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

Without energy and power, most technologies would not exist or work
Overuse of nonrenewable resources

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular level.

Examples:

Sensors, Nanobot, molecular manufacturing

Impacts of Nanotechnology


POSITIVE IMPACTS

NEGATIVE IMPACTS

IMPLANTED SENSORS

IMPLANTED SENSORS

Continuously sense and adjust medical treatment
Impede privacy
