Technology works like a system (Input-Process-Output and feedback) where natural items turn into manufactured products. Systems are developed to address a goal.
- The INPUT are the resources availble to the system.
- The OUTPUT are the products generated by this system.
- The PROCESS is the way to get the goal.
- The FEEDBACK is used to control this process, it is the signal or measure that says how well the goal is being achieved, or how well the process is working.
2.- TECNOLOGY AND SOCIETY.
Technology and society work together: technology responds to society´s needs and helps societe to develop.
Nowdays technology is present in all areas of society and has made major changes to our lives. Can you image a world without telephones or computers? And without cars, trains or planes? Could we live with food that only comes from tradicional agricultural processes?
