Assignment # 1 Technological Design

Begin by reading over the notes entitled What Is Technology?

PartAExplore several of the designs at the design museums located at the website below. Taketime to study each design carefully. Using Microsoft Word, identify six (6) differentproducts, their use or function, and the problem it was likely designed to solve.

http://cooperhewitt.org/COLLECTIONS/product_design.asp (click view collection online)http://www.designmuseum.org/discoverdesign/

PartBThe purpose of this activity is to think about technologies in the broader sense and to

classify technologies into one of the three major categories.

Examine the technologies used in your school. Remember that technologies are knowledge,processes and products. That means that you need to think about what is done, how it isdone, the knowledge required to do it and the tools and equipment employed in doing it.Keep in mind that every activity in the school (almost) is a technological activity.

o Create the table below in Word and make a list of10technologieso For each technology, identify the primary output of the technology (information and

knowledge, physical product, or bio product)o Classify each technology as one of Informational (communications, management, or

control), Physical (production, construction, transportation, exploration), or Bio(aquaculture, agriculture, silvaculture, medicine, genetics, and sports). Don't forgetthat there may also be physical systems of power or transportation.

Assignment # 4 Comparing Software Interfaces

Begin by reviewing notes entitled Software Interfaces

Open a window for several different programs on your computer:

Microsoft office Word Wordpad (Start programs Accessories) Notepad Visual Basic 6.0 FireFox or Internet Explorer (or both if they are installed) Paint

For each program above:

1. State the purpose of the program2. Compare the menus that are similar between the programs. Does each allow you to do

similar things? Different things?3. Looking at the menus that are different between the programs. How do they reflect the

purpose of the program?4. Comparing: Paint, Word, Wordpad and Notepad because they each allow you to enter and

edit text, how different (if at all) is the process between programs? Is each suited to largeamounts of text or only small amounts? Is it easy to copy text from one program to another?

5. Comparing Paint and Word because they both can be used to draw pictures, what do thetwo programs have in common? Which program is best suited for its purpose and why?

AnsweronlyifFireFoxandInternetExplorerarebothfoundonthecomputer6. Comparing FireFox and Internet Explorer because both are web browsers, what do both

programs have in common? What features does one program have that the other does not?

As a point of interest take a look at the website below to see how the Windows interface haschanged over the years: http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/gui/guitour.html
