What is Technology?

This write up translate this video below.



Welcome to class, it's a bright shinning day for you and I am Ayorinde and at the end of this lesson you should be able to describe and define what technology is. Right.

Now I want you to know that the world is really changing, OK? Comparing the ancient days with this present modern days, OK? you will see a lot of changes. Okay. And these changes are brought about by what? Technology. Right.
Now let me just quickly start by comparing the ancient days and this present day in terms of accommodation.
In the ancient days, Okay?.... people live in the mud house and the mud house is being covered with what? Palm fronts. Okay?

But in these present days, people live in ultra modern houses. Okay? and these houses are being covered with aluminium roofing. Are you getting what we are just trying to say?

You can see that this is more fantastic than this mud house. Right.
Now let's talk about transportation. In the olden days, people normally transport their selves maybe by house (that is just the best they have in those days). Sometimes they trek miles, sometimes they paddle canoes, Okay? But in these present days, we have faster means of transportation, Okay. And a good is this aircraft that you are looking at here. Alright. And of course we have some cars: fantastic cars and we have speed boat. For example if we are going from Ikorodu to Ajah in Lagos Nigeria, you spend like six (6) minutes with this speed boat. Are you getting what we are trying to say.
Now let's talk about communication. In the olden days, the people have to go through the rigour of burning wood or burning fire, Okay? And as the smoke is rising up, they are communicating with people around them that okay, we are present here. But in these present days with the help of technology, you can just simply pick your phone and just call anybody that you want to communicate with. And all these changes are being brought about by what? Technology. Alright.

Now what is technology?
Technology is simply the application of science to solve problems of human lives.
We can as well describe technology as the practical application of science for problem solving. Generally technology is just talking about accumulating science (the knowledge of science) and using that knowledge you have accumulated to to solve problems of life. Are you getting it? Alright.
Now look at this, Technology can also be defined as the process and method involved in accomplishing daily tasks.

For example, to avoid the rigour of going to holiday lessons or going to school you can sit down like this young lady and learn from the internet by even using your smart phone. Are you getting what we are trying to say? That is technology. Alright.
Now I want you to understand that technology has practically changed how we go about our daily activities. You can see from the ancient days to these modern days, you can see that the way we live have practically been changed by what? By technology. Right.

Now this technology is very useful in communication okay? You don't need to burn wood and you don't need to depend on smoke before you communicate with people around you any longer. You can send a whatsApp message, you can send an email, you can communicate through your phone. Are you getting what we are trying to say?....... And all these are made possible by what? Technology. Okay. And of course technology is also very useful in manufacturing okay?..... it's very useful in transportation, and of course technology is very useful in health care okay?....... and of course data processing (we use technology in data processing), and of course what about learning like we said the other time and like you are presently doing, you are learning in the convenience of your house through the internet. That is technology. Are you getting what we are just trying to say?...... And of course, technology is useful in banking and marketing. These days you don't need to go to the market before you sell your product. You can just use your Facebook okay?...., you can use Instagram, you can use whatApp, different method or different online methods to market any product you are selling this days. And that is what technology has done for us. Indeed, technology has made the world a better place to stay.

And this is going to be the end of this lesson. See you in our next lesson as we talk more on basic technology.
