2. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
• Technology is the application of science
to solve problems.
• Technology is the making, usage and
knowledge of tools, machine,
techniques, crafts and system of
organization to solve problems.

3. SCIENTIFIC METHOD

4. TYPESOFTECHNOLOGY
• Simple Technology- Has two or less
simple machines. Example of simple
technology include knife, brush.
• Advanced Technology- Has several
simple machines example microwave
oven, electric iron, washing machine.

5. EXAMPLEOF TECHNOLOGY

6. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
1.Reduces the time it takes to perform a
task.

7. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
2.Removes drudgery from a task
(amount of energy used up to perform
a task.)

8. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
2.Allows you to perform more than one
task at the same time (dovetailing/multi
task). Example you can cook while
using the washing machine to wash
your clothes.

9. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
4.Improves the quality of the finished
product.

10. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
5.May improve the health of individuals
because food can cooked and stored
more easily and prevent the
transmission of germs.

11. ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY
6.Increases the performance rate of tasks
that can be performed with a specified
time.

12. DISADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
1.May negatively impact the environment
for example CFCfrom refrigerators.

13. DISADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
2.Technology some cause unemployment
as machine replaces human labor.

14. DISADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
3.Technology can cause individuals to
become inactive because the use of the
devices does not require much energy
to be expended.

• What is Technology?
• Technology is the application of science
(the combination of the scientific
method and material) to solve
problems.
• Technology is the making, usage and
knowledge of tools, machine,
techniques, crafts and system of
organization to solve problems

16. TYPES OF
TECHNOLOGY
• Technology may be classified as:
• Simple technology-has two or less
simple machines. Example of simple
technology include knife.
• Advanced Technology- has several
simple machines example microwave
oven, electric iron.

17. ADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
1. Reduces the time it takes to perform
a task for example an emails transmits
a message faster than sending via
postal service.
2. Removes drudgery from a task
(amount of energy used up to perform
a task.)
3. Allows you to perform more than
one task at the same time. Example
you can cook while using the washing
machine to wash your clothing.

18. ADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
4. Improves the quality of the finished
product. The use of the serger and sewing
machines make the finished product of an
article neater which can boost the demand
for the product.
5.May improve the health of individuals
because food can cooked and stored more
easily and prevent s the transmission of
germs.
6. Increases the performance rate of tasks
that can be performed with a specified time.
Example sewing a dress by hand might take
an entire day. However with the aid of
sewing machine one individual can produce

19. DISADVANTAGES OF
TECHNOLOGY
1. May negatively impact the environment
for example CFC from refrigerators.
2. Technology some cause
unemployment as machine replaces
human labour.
3. Technology can cause individuals to
become inactive because the use of the
devices does not require much energy
to be expended.
