- History / Recent technological inventions and their importance
- Rules for using technology
- Manners in the use of technology
- Care of devices.
This time we will talk about a tool that is very present in our daily life: "Technology". We will begin with its history with the first technological inventions in different parts of the world such as Greece with the Antikythera mechanism; Italy, in the Renaissance period with the Da Vinci helicopter; and China with the mechanical clock. Then we will talk about more recent inventions such as the telephone, computers, the internet and the reason why they are so important.
By knowing then how powerful this tool is, responsibility must be a fundamental pillar when it comes to managing it, that is why we will present a series of rules in order to take care of integrity, safety, equipment and in the same way, respect family norms.
We will close with manners when using technology. We move within a real society, therefore the virtuality should not break the respect for others nor the rules in the places we visit. We will see that devices are delicate and also expensive, so we must take special care, not only with the hardware but also with the software and the viruses. With all these elements, we will make technology a great ally for our lives.
