The teacher will begin by asking pupils what they understand by the term “technology,” reviewing the previous lesson. A brief discussion will follow, leading into the lesson’s topic.

Lesson Content

Forms of Technology

Technology can be grouped into two main categories: Developed Technology and Underdeveloped Technology.

What is Underdeveloped Technology?

Underdeveloped technology involves simple tools and machines made using basic materials and methods. These are frequently enough found in conventional societies and are less complex than developed technologies.Examples are:

1. Wooden plow
2. Hand fan
3. oil lamp
4. Clay pots
5. Local grinding stone
6. Mortar and pestle
7. Hoe
8. Cutlass
9. Rope and pulley system
10. Conventional weaving loom

More examples of underdeveloped technology are available.

What is developed Technology?

Developed technology refers to advanced tools, machines, and systems designed to solve problems and simplify tasks. They are generally more complex and efficient than underdeveloped technologies. Examples are:

1. Cars
2. Airplanes
3. Robots
4. Computers
5. Smartphones
6. Medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT scan)
7. High-speed trains
8. Automated manufacturing systems
9. Drones
10. Satellites

More examples of developed technology can be found hear.

Classes of Technology

Beyond the developed/underdeveloped classification, technology can be categorized by its request:

1. Communication Technology: This includes devices and systems for communication, such as telephones, computers, and the internet.
2. Transportation Technology: This involves vehicles and systems for movement, like cars, trains, and airplanes.
3. Medical technology: This includes tools and systems for diagnosing and treating illnesses, such as X-ray machines and medical software.
4. Educational Technology: This encompasses tools and resources for learning and teaching, including computers, tablets, and online platforms.
5. Agricultural Technology: This includes tools and techniques for food production and livestock farming, such as tractors and fertilizers.
6. Entertainment Technology: This involves devices and systems for leisure, such as televisions and video games.
7. Construction Technology: This includes tools and techniques for building structures, such as cranes and concrete mixers.
8. Energy Technology: This involves devices and systems for energy generation and use,such as solar panels and power plants.
9. Environmental Technology: This includes tools and techniques for environmental protection and betterment, such as recycling systems and renewable energy sources.
