Technology

By the mid 20th century, humans had achieved a mastery of technology sufficient to leave the atmosphere of the Earth for the first time and explore space. Technology (from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -logia[1]) is the making, modification, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems, and methods of organization, in order to solve a problem, improve a pre-existing solution to a problem, achieve a goal, handle an applied input/output relation or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures. Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, and information technology.

Sustainable energy Sustainable energy is the sustainable provision of sustainable energy development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, bioenergy, tidal power and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency. Costs have fallen dramatically in recent years, and continue to fall. Most of these technologies are either economically competitive or close to being so. Definitions[edit] Energy efficiency and renewable energy are said to be the twin pillars of sustainable energy.[1] Some ways in which sustainable energy has been defined are: This sets sustainable energy apart from other renewable energy terminology such as alternative energy by focusing on the ability of an energy source to continue providing energy.

Connecting Student Learning and Technology Computers can support the variety of ways learners construct their own understanding. Students who gather information from the Internet can be self-directed and independent. They can choose what sources to examine and what connections to pursue. Depending on the parameters set by teachers, the students may be in complete control of their topics and their explorations. Students can work through a computer-based activity at their own pace. Computer software can mix text, pictures, sound, and motion to provide a variety of options for learners. Students can build on their own understanding by using computers as resource tools, as work stations for individual learning, or as communication channels to share their ideas with other learners. Computers can be used to assist active experiences--gathering data and resources, conversing with colleagues, struggling through a challenging puzzle or application--or they can assist in reflection.

Jellyfish Wind Appliance: Plug-In Wind Power Does technology help us learn? at Bloggin’ away It´s a really difficult matter … does really technology help us learn? … well, I don´t really know. I think it doesn´t really help us learn but it can help us to find information which can be useful. I mean, PC’s can’t introduce knowledge in our brains, but nowadays it is easier to find more or less whatever you want from the net. Internet provides us with a wide range of different information that was unreachable some years ago, so technology allows us to have much more information than our parents had and so on, because our children will possibly have even more, and this could also be a problem because information should be controlled, but this is another matter. Technology has provided us with different ways of meeting people, talking with our friends, doing the shopping … and perhaps it’s separating us though it is said that technology connects people from all over the world.
