  2. Section 1 Technology

  3. Chapter 3 Types of Technological Systems

  4. Learning Objectives • List the four general ways technology systems can be categorized. • Identify obsolete, current, and emerging technologies. • Describe how technology evolves in a private enterprise system. • Cite examples of government-sponsored technology.

  5. Learning Objectives • Explain why cooperation is important in technological development. • Identify tasks of each major area of technology. • Explain how technological systems are related.

  6. Grouping Technological Systems

  7. Level of Development • Technology is constantly changing. • Obsolete technologies. • Hand spinning or weaving cloth. • Current technologies. • Vehicles and print and electronic media. • Emerging technologies. • High technology (high tech). • Electronically delivered books. Technology Review

  8. Economic Structure • Technology has become an integral part of the economic system. • Profit-centered companies: • Supported by industrial relations and financial affairs. • Research and development. • Production. • Marketing. • Governments step in when technology is too expensive or risky to be developed privately.

  9. Discussion What sort of developments in technology have been or are being funded by the government? Government Statistics

  10. Number of People Involved • Individuals may develop technology. • Uncommon, personal technology. • Corporate participation. • Groups or teams. • Have common vision, similar goals, and shared success.

  11. Type of Technology • Seven types that are all intertwined: • Agricultural and biotechnologies. • Communication and information technologies. • Construction technologies. • Energy and power technologies. • Manufacturing technologies. • Medical technologies. • Transportation technologies.

  12. Types of Technology • All technological systems are closely related and are part of a single effort to help humans live better. • Each system can be the focus, while the others are the support. • Practically no system can function without the others.

  13. Career Corner • Controllers. • Manage workers and oversee financial forms. • Requires bachelor’s degree in accounting, economics, finance, or business administration. Corporate Finance Careers More information

  14. Review What are four general ways technology systems can be categorized? Level of development, economic structure, number of people involved, and type of technology developed and used.

  15. Review Give one example each of an obsolete technology, a current technology, and an emerging technology. Obsolete: Hand spinning or weaving cloth. Current: Vehicles. Emerging: NASA SR-71 aircraft.

  16. Review What are the three stages of development within a private enterprise? Research and development, production, and marketing.

  17. Review Name one government-sponsored form of technology. Space travel through NASA.

  18. Review Why is cooperation important in technological development? Usually, there are large numbers of people working on one project. If they did not cooperate, the project would not succeed.

  19. Review Name one task of each of the seven major areas of technology. Growing food, processing data into information, building structures, applying energy to power devices, converting materials into consumer products, curing illnesses, and moving people.

  20. Review True or False? Technological systems do not depend on each other. False.
