Technology is more than electronic gadgets.
Before the 1970’s it was believed that technology was influenced my males without female influences.
Redefining Technology

Technology : the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area◦ Farming methods◦ Medical procedures
Women have also greatly influenced technology.◦ Mary Anderson◦ Bette Nesmith Graham
Redefining Technology
Diana Argueta
Diana Argueta
According to Autumn Stanley there are 4 ways to show the importance of women’s influence in technology1.) showing the foundational nature of many of women’s major
early inventions and innovations.2.) “renaming” and or/ reclassifying certain of women’s inventions
both to show their proper ontological place in technology, and to revalue them in the interim until the new view of significance can take hold
3.) documenting women’s achievement in areas already defined as significant by males
4.)proposing a new and arguably more valid definition of significance that will include rather than exclude women’s work to date.
Redefining Significance
Diana Argueta
Autumn Stanley also believes that significance can be defined by examining1.) technological impact2.) economic impact3.) human impact
A significant invention will impact technology, the economy, and people around the world regardless of the inventors gender.
Redefining Significance
Diana Argueta
The application of knowledge, tools, and processes to solve practical problems and extend human capabilities.
WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
Yazmin Reynaga
Technology is the application of knowledge. TECHNOLOGY is the use of
knowledge to turn resources into the goods and services that society
needs.
• Science is the accumulation of
knowledge. SCIENCE is the study of
• WHY natural things happen the way they
do.

Technologists
Yazmin Reynaga
SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST
Use the materials in the earth to make useful
objects.
Study how the earth was
formed and what it is made
from.
Yazmin Reynaga
SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST
• Build and launch space shuttles and
satellites.• Make artificial hearts
and limbs.•Use codes to develop
new medicines and vaccines.
• Study the relationship between the earth,
planets, and the stars.• Discover the way the
human body works.•Discover genetic codes
that determine the nature of life.
Yazmin Reynaga
Science and technology are interdependent to one another but there is a distinction between them
How is science related to technology?
Janika Gonzales
Science◦Goals: to search
for knowledge and understanding for its own sake Discovery Drawing correct
conclusions based on good theories and accurate data
Using logical skills
Technology◦Goals: to create
artifacts and systems to meet people’s needs Production and
invention Enhancing
interpersonal and communication skills
Making good decisions based on incomplete data and approximate models

The Stone Age•known as prehistoric occurred 600,000 or 700,000 years ago.•These are the first people used stone for tool.

The bronze age
bronze age began 5,500 years ago
period of time in prehistory used advanced metal making
created more durable tools and weapons used copper and tin from ores
Kiet Ho
The Iron Age
beginning approximately 1,200 BC
farming
allowing them to live better in their villages

Industrial Revolution18th to the 19th century
changes tremendously in mining, transport and manufacturing

The purpose for the technologies has changed with time.
Culture has a significant impact upon technology.
