1 00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:23,420 Technology has been changing our life. It helps us to improve and develop our society and it is indeed easier in our lives. 2 00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:39,420 We can develop our society and we can reach different objectives, creating new objects, creating new technologies. 3 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,420 But it also has a dark side. 4 00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:56,659 It also has some drawbacks that in this unit we are going to discuss, we are going to analyze 5 00:00:56,659 --> 00:01:06,579 the way how technology is developing, the way it is changing our life and also the drawbacks 6 00:01:06,579 --> 00:01:12,069 that are consequence of its uses. 7 00:01:12,069 --> 00:01:20,390 they can be the index of the lesson. First of all we are going to talk about history of technology 8 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:28,150 through history of humanity and the importance of technology. After that we are going to 9 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:38,629 revise what is technology, how technology works in our society, in real society, because we 10 00:01:38,629 --> 00:01:49,189 we have been studied technology and using is do apply application of technology in a technology 11 00:01:49,189 --> 00:02:01,849 way but it is some application that are focused on educational improvement know what society indeed 12 00:02:01,849 --> 00:02:10,069 needs so this is the the differences between the educational technology or 13 00:02:10,069 --> 00:02:20,750 the technology we learn in in school and the technology of real life there are a 14 00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:28,129 very different aspect which are completely different and it is important 15 00:02:28,129 --> 00:02:36,449 also then marketing as a motor of technology because economic nowadays in our society is 16 00:02:36,449 --> 00:02:45,250 very important and as a consequences some of technological developments are consequences of 17 00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:56,129 this of some economical uh objectives or targets and finally we are going to discuss about the 18 00:02:56,129 --> 00:03:03,330 drawbacks some dropbacks of uses of technology in our society so let's move on to the first 19 00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:13,490 point which is a history and in this slide well we can see different periods of technological 20 00:03:13,490 --> 00:03:24,849 development and the first human people obviously can overcome their their limits their physical 21 00:03:24,849 --> 00:03:34,490 limits creating new objects using stones it was the stone area and in the 22 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:43,770 Paleolithic humans can change itself on its way of life creating this new tool 23 00:03:43,770 --> 00:04:07,650 They led them to catch animals and then to eat meat. Some people think that eating meat is so important because it can change our own body. 24 00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:14,650 What it means is that we improve our intelligence. 25 00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:28,649 So, the uses of different tools and instruments at the beginning of humanity was very important. 26 00:04:28,649 --> 00:04:46,649 And they discovered the fire, and after that they can, with the fire they can use different metals, bronze, iron, to do better tools. 27 00:04:46,649 --> 00:05:00,649 and it was very important in different cultures in the world and to develop different states of humanity. 28 00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:24,329 But there is not so important technological revolution until the steam engines. Steam engines change the way we make our objects from artisanal to another types. 29 00:05:24,329 --> 00:05:36,329 So we can have cheap objects and everybody can have these cheap objects to improve their life. 30 00:05:36,329 --> 00:05:51,329 It was the first technological revolution, industrial revolution and nowadays we are in the third technological revolution or the third industrial revolution. 31 00:05:51,329 --> 00:06:06,410 It was another second industrial revolution in 19th year, which can improve the quantity of products in the market. 32 00:06:06,410 --> 00:06:26,209 And as we are going to explain, more products in the markets means less prices, so people can buy it very easily, more easier than before. 33 00:06:26,209 --> 00:06:49,209 So it made us to develop our society and nowadays we are in the third industrial revolution with robots and automatic methods of production without humans. 34 00:06:49,209 --> 00:07:16,290 It makes the product cheap and better and it also has another thing because obviously people who have worked in this industry and the industry needs to change its jobs also. 35 00:07:16,290 --> 00:07:28,290 So, sometimes it can be a drawback for society or for humans, as we are going also to analyze. 36 00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:36,290 Well, the project approach in real life has two steps. 37 00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:39,290 In one step, we design the product. 38 00:07:39,290 --> 00:08:00,769 And to design the product we do this difference step. We need to design, we need to do a model of this product and some proof in this model in order to develop perfectly the model. 39 00:08:00,769 --> 00:08:15,569 And after that we need to design the manufacturing product, we need to design the quantity, we need to design the machines, we need to design what type of manufacturing we need. 40 00:08:15,569 --> 00:08:33,570 All these parameters are connected with economic things because, in the end, all of this is part of companies. 41 00:08:33,570 --> 00:08:43,570 Companies can make something or can be service companies without making something. 42 00:08:43,570 --> 00:08:55,570 In any case, all of these parameters are important because they are part of the economical parameters. 43 00:08:55,570 --> 00:09:02,570 So, in any case, if I want to design an object, I need to analyze objects. 44 00:09:02,570 --> 00:09:13,870 I need to analyze its morphological, the shape of this object and as consequences the materials 45 00:09:13,870 --> 00:09:26,429 and obviously if you are doing a morphological analysis you also need to choose the tools 46 00:09:26,429 --> 00:09:36,230 and the process to do shape, to perform these materials and to do the things. 47 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:44,169 But obviously it is very important to do a functional analysis, because in the end we 48 00:09:44,169 --> 00:09:52,690 need the object to do something, to make something, so its function is the most important thing 49 00:09:52,690 --> 00:09:54,929 in the object. 50 00:09:54,929 --> 00:10:01,029 In engineering, it is usually said that each object has two main parts. 51 00:10:01,029 --> 00:10:08,149 The structural part, which can be the morphological part, and the functional part. 52 00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:14,929 The systems are completely different, sometimes the morphological is the structure, so it 53 00:10:14,929 --> 00:10:18,870 just only can support some forces. 54 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:27,870 In other words, the functional analysis can have a different system, a mechanical system, 55 00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:32,309 a field system or a control system or so on. 56 00:10:32,309 --> 00:10:35,470 A technical analysis is also important. 57 00:10:35,470 --> 00:10:43,669 In technical analysis you can take into consideration different aspects. 58 00:10:43,669 --> 00:10:56,370 But one of the objects in the technological analysis can be obviously the tools that you 59 00:10:56,370 --> 00:11:03,330 will need to do this object. 60 00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:11,490 Maybe if one of the tools is computer, what is connected with computers. 61 00:11:11,490 --> 00:11:18,409 Economic analysis is very important in our society because we are living in a consumption 62 00:11:18,409 --> 00:11:24,169 society and economical is a very important factor. 63 00:11:24,169 --> 00:11:30,529 So it's part of our, it's always connected with technology. 64 00:11:30,529 --> 00:11:40,629 Something don't give us enough money in a company, the company don't produce obviously. 65 00:11:40,629 --> 00:11:49,210 most important the aesthetic aspect the historical aspect but for me one of the 66 00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:56,909 most important thing is sociological analysis and its consequences because 67 00:11:56,909 --> 00:12:03,309 ethical is very is part of technology and it must be taking taken this must be 68 00:12:03,309 --> 00:12:13,950 taken into consideration in any case if you damage people you mustn't produce this this thing 69 00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:24,029 you think i mean the mass people as we can say a marketing and economical factor is very important 70 00:12:24,029 --> 00:12:46,789 In this slide, we have how we can get the price and quantity of equilibrium, which means that if we have the supply, more quantity, more price, obviously. 71 00:12:46,789 --> 00:13:05,789 But the demand is opposite, because more quantity the price is lower, if the demand is higher the price is lower. 72 00:13:05,789 --> 00:13:27,190 So between two functions there is an interaction point which is the price of equilibrium and in which point I can see the better price, the best price and the best quality of production. 73 00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:39,710 So, before to create a production line, we need to do a very important marketing study. 74 00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:55,429 As we can see, in a company is where we protect, we implement this project approach. 75 00:13:55,429 --> 00:14:01,429 So it's important that we know the organization in a company. 76 00:14:01,429 --> 00:14:08,309 Companies nowadays can be also service companies, so in this case the production department 77 00:14:08,309 --> 00:14:22,889 doesn't exist, but as in general, each company has its own flowchart, but this can be a general 78 00:14:22,889 --> 00:14:29,210 flowchart of our organization in the company we usually have the human resources which is 79 00:14:29,210 --> 00:14:45,289 a department that focus on the the aspect of humans who you need the prices the 80 00:14:45,289 --> 00:14:53,389 the relationship with other organizations. 81 00:14:53,389 --> 00:15:01,470 We also have the marketing in which you need to study markets and also for example what 82 00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:12,769 you need to buy, how you need to sell, how you can improve your sales and obviously finances 83 00:15:12,769 --> 00:15:22,049 in which you do the budgets, you take into consideration the amortization and when you 84 00:15:22,049 --> 00:15:30,529 need to, when you can buy a new machine or renew the machine and so on, in order to have 85 00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:37,039 a good company and with good benefits. 86 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:49,000 Well, as I said at the beginning of this presentation, there are some problem consequences of the 87 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000 uses of technology. 88 00:15:51,000 --> 00:16:00,179 We can divide it into two main types, environmental problems that I know that everything knows, 89 00:16:00,179 --> 00:16:10,779 For example, also sun, also lows, desertification, the change of climate, losing of weather and 90 00:16:10,779 --> 00:16:20,320 also the acid rain and so on, there are a lot of environmental problems, consequences 91 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,519 of the use of technology and also social problems. 92 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:35,519 example what happened with people that need to adapt to new technology and sometimes it can do it. 93 00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:41,039 Other thing is for example the programming obsolescence. 94 00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:50,879 The obsolescence is a consequence of use of new technology. Technology has been developing very 95 00:16:50,879 --> 00:17:01,059 very very quickly and some products are very low very very soon this is what you 96 00:17:01,059 --> 00:17:12,180 surely call or solutions but in other ways sometimes the makers the company 97 00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:24,259 program then the one product come broke in in sometimes in in five years or so 98 00:17:24,259 --> 00:17:31,519 on and this is an aesthetical license I think so well what I would like to do is 99 00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:40,640 that in groups you do do a research about the consequences that the 100 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:50,000 drawbacks of technology and we have a debate about these aspects and reach or get an agreement and 101 00:17:50,000 --> 00:18:00,400 some conclusion. So this is all for today, it's enough as introduction of the subject this year. 102 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Now, well, it's your turn, you need to do this debate, you need to prepare this debate 103 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:17,839 well I will be happy with the consequences I will be happy with the activity
