This week I have realised that Technology is not just about computers and mobile phones, but, insists of being able to identify situations and figure solutions for products of today, to help our future society. Our aim in technology is to innovate students, so they can investigate, generate and critique their choices. According to the Technology sector in the Australian Curriuclum (2014), their are two types of Technology. These are Design and Technology, and Digital Tecnologies. Design and Technologies is design thinking, while Digital Technologies is Computational thinking.
Technology innovates the students to become Sociologists, Historians and much more. According to Andre Feenberg (1995) "technology “cannot longer be considered as a collection of devices, or
more generally, as the sum of rational means. These are biased
definitions that make technology appear more functional and less social
than in fact it is.”" (Cited: Anazagasty, 2014).
Jose Anazagasty's reading made me realise that technology is a vast subject, which realise on heavy teaching. Technology also had many different definitions according to the person referencing the topic.
