<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">a) All systems have trade-offs <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">1. Intended outcomes (e.g: cars are intended to drive) <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">2. Unintended outcomes (e.g: cars that crash)
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">4. Trade-off **

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">a) Science: focuses on the natural world. <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">b) Technology: focuses on the correct uses of tools, making life more easier/fun.
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">5. The difference between science and technology **

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">a) Invention: a new product <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">b) Innovation: improving an existing product
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">6. Technology also includes inventions and innovations **

 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">7. Technology should use resources efficiently **

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">a) Agricultural age: up to the 1700s- people used wooden plows <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">b) Industrial age: 1700s to 1950s- people had factories and steam engines <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">c) Information age: 1950s to now- people using computers <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">· Made the sharing of information faster and more organized <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">· Sharing information has made inventions and innovations happen faster
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">8. The history of technology **

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">a) Digital electronics <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">· Uses binary codes (made up of 0s and 1s) <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">· Allows us to move a ton of information at one time
 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">9. Current technologies **
