�Technology (“ Technology”

�Technology, the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment �Technological development can also provide a distinctive trade advantage. The relatively advanced countries—particularly the United States, Japan, and those of western Europe— have been the principal exporters of hightechnology products such as computers and precision machinery

One important aspect of technology is that it can change rapidly. This is perhaps most obvious in the computer field, where productivity has increased and costs have fallen sharply since the early 1960 s �Technological advances also strengthen global trade in a general sense: e-commerce (electronic commerce), for example, reduced the impact of geographic distance by facilitating fast, efficient, realtime ties between businesses and individuals around the world. Indeed, at the end of the 20 th century, information technology, an industry that scarcely existed 20 years earlier, exceeded the combined world trade in agriculture, automobiles, and textiles.

The development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things. The term technology, a combination of the Greek technē, “art, craft, ” with logos, “word, speech, ” meant in Greece a discourse on the arts, both fine and applied. When it first appeared in English in the 17 th century, it was used to mean a discussion of the applied arts only, and gradually these “arts” themselves came to be the object of the designation. � By the early 20 th century, the term embraced a growing range of means, processes, and ideas in addition to tools and machines. By mid-century, technology was defined by such phrases as “the means or activity by which man seeks to change or manipulate his environment. ” Even such broad definitions have been criticized by observers who point out the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between scientific inquiry and technological activity.

�Within each chronological phase a standard method has been adopted for surveying the technological experience and innovations. This begins with a brief review of the general social conditions of the period under discussion, and then goes on to consider the dominant materials and sources of power of the period, and their application to food production, manufacturing industry, building construction, transport and communications, military technology, and medical technology.

The subject of technology is treated in a number of articles. For general treatment, technology, history of; hand tool. For description of the materials that are both the object and means of manipulating the environment, elastomers; industrial ceramics; industrial glass; metallurgy; mineral deposit; mineral processing; mining; plastic. For the generation of energy, energy conversion; coal mining; coal utilization; petroleum production; petroleum refining. For treatment of food production agriculture, history of; agricultural economics; beekeeping; beer; cereal farming; coffee; commercial fishing; dairy farming; distilled spirit; food preservation; fruit farming; livestock farming; poultry farming; soft drink; tea; vegetable farming; wine.

Greatest Technological Inventions CELLULAR PHONES Communication has always been a key to success, from wars to relationships. The comparison between today's cell phones, which offer instantaneous and untethered communication, to the old-fashioned paper -and-pen process is nothing short of incredible. And the Nielsen ratings service predicted that one out of every two Americans would own smart phones at the end of 2011, according to the website Gig. Om. So it's not just calls these phones are good for; they offer a veritable banquet of computer access at your fingertips.

MICROWAVE OVEN Though humankind got along just fine without microwaves before they were developed in the late 1940 s, the invention has been a major game changer in terms of food preparation and the office break room. Not only have microwaves modernized the way we eat, they've also made meals far more convenient -- read quicker -- to prepare. Now if only there were a way to contain that unmistakable aroma of microwave popcorn.

GPS Thanks to the GPS, or Global Positioning System, and its integration in just about everything tech-related, most of you will never get lost again. And we're not talking just about those dashboard displays. The half of Americans carrying smart phones likely have GPS apps guiding the way. According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, GPS was originally developed in 1978 by the U. S. military.

PERSONAL COMPUTER No list of the "greatest technologies ever invented" is complete unless it includes the personal computer. The magazine Popular Mechanics reports the first general purpose computer was a 30 -ton behemoth invented in 1947. Though an incredible machine, it was far too large for any home. The invention of the personal computer, or PC, happened in the 1970 s and revolutionized the entire world.

DIGITAL MUSIC Music has graced the world with its presence for thousands of years, but digitizing music has improved sound quality and sharing ability. Digital music also cuts back on waste, and it's only a matter of time before CDs, records and cassette tapes become obsolete.

COMPUTER MOUSE The computer mouse is one technology that often gets overlooked and taken for granted. Back when early computers were the size of a house, they could only be manipulated through hundreds of tiny buttons and sliders. The mouse -- named after its tail-like cord and round body -- was invented in 1964 by Douglas Engelbart, a radar technician from the Stanford Research Institute, according to the British newspaper The Independent.

INTERNET Compared to inventions that have existed for hundreds of years, such as the microscope or telescope, the Internet is still in its infancy. Still, the Internet has arguably changed the world more than most other inventions. The Internet was invented in the late '60 s and made available to the public in the '90 s. Since then, it has improved both communication and information dissemination and changed daily life for virtually everyone on Earth

REMOTE CONTROLS Like the microwave, remote controls aren't necessary to humankind's survival. With that said, they're certainly convenient. Accordingly to Popular Mechanics, remote controls were invented in 1955. Though we take them for granted today, the way they wirelessly change the TV channel or run through your slideshows -- without making you move from your couch or podium -- is undeniably impressive.

DIGITAL CAMERAS Digital cameras are beloved by many because they capture sentimental moments and personal adventures. They come in handy for recording such memories, but they also play a significant role in news dissemination and recording history in general. While film-based cameras paved the way for their digital descendants, today's high-tech cameras and integrated phones eliminate long processing times and allow us to share pictures instantly.

VIDEO CONFERENCING The idea of video conferencing may not seem like a big deal in today's tech-saturated world, but consider how sciencefiction-like the idea was even 100 years ago. Today, talking face-toface, without actually being face-toface, is commonplace -- with just two or three clicks of the mouse, through the digital camera on your PC or smart phone, across the Internet.

Information and Communication Prepared By: Princess R. Lerio BEED 1 B

What is Information and Communication? �Information -facts provided or learned about something or someone. � Communication -the imparting or exchanging of information or news.

Information and Communication Technology �Information and communications technology or (ICT) is an extensional term for information technology (IT) that stresses the role of unified communications[1] and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-visual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information.

� This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums. �ICT is one of the economic development pillars to gain national competitive advantage. It can improve the quality of human life because it can be used as a learning and education media, the mass communication media in promoting and campaigning practical and important issues, such as the health and social area.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ØThe effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines, and networking hardware as well as considering underlying theoretical perspectives for their effective application ØThe use of technology to improve education

�It includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computerbased learning.

Role of ICT in Teaching and Learning • ICT helps the teachers to interact with there students. • It helps them in preparation there teaching provide feedback. • It is know replacing the ancient technology. • ICT help teachers in preparation for teaching. • ICT is used as an assisting tool.

• ICT as a medium for teaching and learning. • ICT helps teacher to communicate properly with their student. • ICT helps teacher to passed information to student with in a very little time

Instructional System and Instructional Technology �Instructional technology includes practical techniques of instructional delivery that systematically aim for effective learning, whether or not they involve the use of media. It is a basic purpose of the field of instructional technology to promote and aid the application of these known and validated procedures in the design and delivery of instruction.
