Student: Rzayev Khayal Teacher: Valiyeva İrada Group: 102a5 Faculty: Transportation and logisticsWhat is TechnologyWhat is Technology?Technology is comprised of the products and processes created by engineers to meet our needs and wants.How Does Technology Address Human Needs and Wants?Transportation Technology Medical Bio-Related and Agriculture Nanotechnology Information Energy and Power Environmental Information TechnologyInformation Technology allows us to send signals around the world.Examples:Television, Internet, satellite, GPS, cell phonesImpacts of Information Technology
INTERNET –Information is stored for easy access INTERNET – Harder to distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources Bio-related and Agricultural TechnologyBiotechnology transforms living things into products or new forms of life.Examples:Genetic engineering, bionicsAgricultural Technology produces plants and animals for food, fiber, and fuel.Examples:Irrigation, food preservation,weed and insect controlBoth deal with living things:Plants, animals, and peopleDNA Replication image from the Human Genome Project Impacts of Bio-Related Technology
HEALTH – Improves quality of life, vitamins, vaccines, medications HEALTH – Side effects of some medications – nausea, shortness of breath, etc. Impacts of Agricultural Technology
FERTILIZERS– can make plants produce more food per acre FERTILIZERS– have found their way into ground water, polluting good drinking water Medical TechnologyMedical Technology creates toolsto treat disease and injury.Examples:Lasers, prostheses, ultrasound, medicationsImpacts of Medical Technology
X-RAYS – Make it easier to diagnose injuries X-RAYS – Too many x-rays can cause cancer. Environmental TechnologyEnvironmental 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
RECYCLING – Improves water and air quality RECYCLING – Disposal of garbage is more complicated and time consuming Transportation TechnologyTransportation Technology Provides a way for people, animals, products, and materials to be moved from one place to the next.Examples:Flight – Airplane, rocket, space shuttleLand – Train, subway, automobile, bicycleWater – Commercial, cruise shipsNon-vehicle – Conveyor belts, pipelinesImpacts of Transportation Technology
Traveling long distances faster Accidents Energy and Power TechnologyEnergy is the ability or capacity to do work.Examples:Chemical Energy GasolineMechanical Energy MotionThermal Energy SteamElectrical Energy ElectricityRadiant Energy LightEnergy and Power TechnologyPower is the rate at which energy is transformed from one form to another.Examples:Electrical power – provides light and operates motorsMechanical power – moves automobiles, trains, and airplanesFluid power – uses fluids to produce motionHydraulic – uses a liquidPneumatic – uses a gasImpacts of Energy and Power Technology
Without energy and power, most technologies would not exist or work Overuse of nonrenewable resources NanotechnologyNanotechnology is manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular level.Examples:Sensors, Nanobot, molecular manufacturingImpacts of Nanotechnology
