Note to Pupils –
Developed Technology
Developed technology refers to advanced tools, machines, or systems that are designed to make work easier, faster, and more efficient. These technologies are often more complex and have more features compared to simple tools.
Characteristics of Developed Technology
- Complexity: Developed technology has many parts working together, like how a computer or a smartphone has lots of pieces inside that help it work.
- Precision: It is made very carefully to do its job exactly right, like a microscope that helps scientists see tiny things clearly.
- Efficiency: This technology is designed to do things quickly and well, like a washing machine that cleans clothes faster than washing by hand.
- Durability: It is strong and lasts a long time, like a tough smartphone that doesn’t break easily if you drop it.
- Adaptability: Developed technology can be changed or adjusted to do different things, like a camera that can take different types of pictures depending on the settings.
- Automation: Many advanced technologies work by themselves, like a robot vacuum that cleans the floor without anyone pushing it.
- Innovation: It often includes new and creative ideas, making it better and more useful, like how phones have changed from just making calls to doing many other things.
- Ability to Do Hard Jobs: Developed technology can handle difficult tasks, like special machines doctors use to perform surgeries.
- High Cost: Because of how advanced it is, developed technology can be expensive to make and keep working.
Examples of Developed Technology:
- Airplanes
- Computers
- Medical equipment
- Satellites
- Smartphones
- High-speed trains
- Solar panels
- Robotics
- Cars, etc.
