Technologies that enhance and maintain a natural balance

Some people conceptualize technology just like cellphones and other technology. However, technology includes ever way in which people manipulate the natural environment to satisfy their need and wants. Frozen foods, paper cups, and clothing are examples of technology. It also includes all various devices and systems that people make to fulfill some function.

Another part of the reason can be found in today’s rapid advances in science. In many cutting-edge fields, such as bioengineering and nanotechnology, scientist and engineer are taken on by a single person. An example of science pushing technology can be found in the breakthroughs in genetic that have made possible new crops with higher yields and greater resistance to disease. Examples of technology pushing science can be found in the way that engineers provide more precise instruments, better collaboration tools and evermore powerful computers.

Tools and materials have also improved over time. From hand tools and power tools computer probes and simulations, tools extend human capabilities, allowing people to see further and in greater detail, accomplish task more efficiently, accomplish things that might otherwise be impossible. At the same time, new ways are constantly being developed to process raw materials to create products with properties unlike any in nature self-cleaning clothing and paint, nano-fiber clothing that sheds water and never wrinkles, and composite materials for airplanes that are lighter and stronger than metal alloys, to name only a few.

In conclusion, key principles in nature of technology are not only about cellphones or other devices. But technologies are constrained by law of nature, such as gravity, science, engineering, mathematics, and other disciplines are mutually supportive. Technologies also develop one purpose are sometimes adapted to serve other purposes and involves creative thinking. Tools that have created help people do thing efficiently, accurately and safely.

Reading Activity

Teacher uses skimming and scanning activities in which students skim and scan the text to find the main idea and specific information of the text, then the activity can be continue by asking the student about the text.

Writing Activity

Teacher will give students self-reflection activity in which students write their own journal about what they know about nature of technology.
