  1. 2.3 Environment

    ITGS Strand Two Draime
  2. Definition 2.3 Environment is the interaction between technology and the world around us It involves the use of technology to learn more about the world & the negative and positive effects that increased use of technology has on the planet
  3. Positive Effects Technology has greatly increased our knowledge of the planet Found ways through technology to improve the world and lower pollution Improved maps because of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Increased data collection from sensors and probes Better satellite communication
  4. Positive Effect #1 Increased Knowledge Environmental data logging market has a growth rate of 5.2% every year Use of sensors, probes, and satellites Em50 Digital/Analog Data Logger STOR-X Submersible Data Logger AD-1687 Weighing Environment Logger
  5. Positive Effect #2 Lowered Pollution Reduction of paper waste through online business Increased amounts of sun and wind energy collection Treatment technology to lower carbon emissions through filters Molecular Sieve Carbon Filter use in Coal-burning plant Online Businesses 3000 Watt 48 Volt Wind Turbine Wind Energy Generator
  6. Positive Effect #3 Improved Maps Better global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS) Improved satellite images GIS to create maps of earthquake shaking hazards TomTom XL 340S 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator GPS Block II-F satellite in Earth orbit
  7. Negative Effects Technology has increased the amount of pollution on Earth Resource Depletion E-Waste; advanced technology creates the need to throw away old technology
  8. Negative Effect #1 Resource Depletion Use of non-renewable resources for manufacturing components Electrical consumption of IT systems Oil is running out; companies should switch to greener methods of obtaining energy Increased population causes higher rates of resource depletion Trees being cut down
  9. Negative Effect #2 E-Waste Proper disposal and recycling of IT equipment Monitoring organizations that dispose of IT equipment Simply throwing away IT equipment is not environmentally friendly IT equipment requires proper disposal Companies store IT equipment before disposal
