Science and Technology

Modern technology tends to be thought of in terms of the advances brought about by computers and electronic communications but it is in transport, medicine, energy and weaponry that we have seen the greatest impact upon our lives. It is these areas that distinguish the first world from the second and third worlds.If poverty and disease are to be alleviated and the environment sustained, then technology must be harnessed on a vast and all inclusive scale . Large scale industry must be involved. Significant technology is not created by lone workers but by tens and hundreds of individuals working together across social and geographic boundaries. We must wake up to the fact that it is technologists that is determining the future of the human race. Advances require vast resources and companies that are prepared to take risks, and if Britain is to continue to play a crucial role in technology then our establishment must realie that applied science is rivaling pure science both in importance and in intellectual interest.

Almost exactly 93 years ago tonight, on 15 April 1912, over one thousand terrified and bewildered people found themselves with little warning drifting or drowning in the ice-cold North Atlantic. Only 712 of them survived that night. They were, of course, the passengers, officers, and crew of the White Star steamship Titanic and they were in a sense victims of 'failures' of technology.
The Titanic disaster was in the main a result of over-reach, of a gap between the achievements of some technologies and the shortcomings of others; and of managerial failures on the part of those who used the available technology. Although Titanic had a radio communication system - and it was an important factor in directing rescue vessels to her - it was a system still in its infancies. Although the technology of shipbuilding already embraced double skins and water-tight bulkheads, these fell far short of the completeness that we now expect. Those navigating this huge vessel were in some important respects no further advanced than the vikings who had sailed these same seas ten centuries before: they could themselves only by means of stellar observation and dead reckoning, and they had only their eyes to see what lay ahead - and this was less than a hundred years ago.

The managerial failures were perhaps worse. The ship's officers were warned of ice by radio messages, which they ignored. They hadn't carried out safety drills or trained the ship's company. The ship was speeding blindly into a known danger area in order to meet her scheduled arrival time in New York. Accidents, by definition, happen. But more diligent officers, properly-trained crew and a sufficiency of lifeboats, could have saved the majority of those lost to the depths on that dreadful April night.

Abstract
Man's way of life has depended on technology since the begin of civilization - the flint stone, the control of fire, the wheel, the printing press. In the earliest times significant advances were rare and they were separated by long periods of time - but their benefits, and disadvantages, were easily understood.About two hundred years ago, however, the pace quickened and in recent decades a cascade of truly disruptive advances has revolutionised the way we live. The technologies behind the advances have become increasingly complex and few people understand how they work and fewer still where they are going. The social implications of the advances have also ceased to be obvious and it has become essential that we study their social consequences.

The nature of technology

TRANSLATION:
El significado de la palabra "tecnología" fue desarrollado para reflejar estos cambios. En el siglo XIX, la tecnología se referia simplemente a las artes prácticas que solian crear productos físicos,Todo desde ruedas de carro y paños de algodón a teléfonos y motores de vapor. En el vigésimo siglo,el significado de la palabra fue ampliado para incluir todo lo involucrado a la satisfacción de necesidades humanas materiales y quiere, de las fábricas y las organizaciones que manejan el conocimiento científico , los saberes de la ingenieria y sus productos tecnologicos.

What's technology?

1)Technology is the new uses or thing that we can get of the modification of nature to our benefit.
2)They must consider what the inappropriate use of the technology can make and the economic limits they have.
3)they refer to the technology like "the study of the natural world" and "a body of knowledge".
4)One part of the technology is the natural world who's the root of every of any technological advance, other important part is the process-scientific and the the knowledge of engineering.
5)No , I dont think I'm a Technological Literacy , because my life is not around waht's the last movile -phone or what's the last and more popular gadget.

TECHNOLOGICAL LITERACY ACTIVITIES:

1-the technology could improve our society , for example there are machines that make possible to move things that the human beings would never can .
2-I think that the technology sometimes is good to people because it helps them to comunicate. for example, thanks to the technology I can talk whit a person who lives in another country or far whit my computer.



Jimena: sory my lateness , I had a problem in my computer , luckily I had it back in my house.

The Nature of Technology

El significado de la palabra "teconología" ha evolucionado para reflejar estos cambios. En el siglo XIX el término tecnología se refería solamente al uso de las artes prácticas para crear productos, desde elementos para trenes y ropa de algodón hasta teléfonos y planchas. A partir del siglo XX el término tecnología se expandió para abarcar, de esta forma, todo lo relacionado con satisfacer las necesidades materiales humanas , desde fábricas y su organización científico tecnológica, hasta los conocimientos en ingeniería y los mismos productos de la tecnología.

What is Technology?

1.Technology it’s the result of knowlege over time plus modification of nature that helps humans to progress in some aspects ( and go back in others) and to make their life more “easy” in some kind of ways.
2.Some factors are: the goverment regultions, the costs ,the reliability and the rules of sciencie..
3.The study of the natural World, the sciencie that helps us understand the “way” and “how” of natural World.
4.Technical skills and knowns about science and engineering.
5.I consider myself technology literate because I know how to handle some technological artefacts but I try not to be a technology-slave, it’s hard sometimes because technology seemed to have gained a very important part in ourlives, but I think we don’t have to be slaves or suffer the consecuentes of something that should help us to progress, not to go back.

So sorry for my lateness, Lucía.

El significado de la palabra tecnologia se desarrolló para reflejar estos cambios: En los años noventa, la tecnología se refirió simplemente a la pactica de las artes usados para crear los productos físicos, todo de las ruedas de carro y del paño de algodón a los teléfonos y a los motores de vapor. En el siglo veinte, el significado de la palabra fue cambiando para incluir todo implicada en la satisfacción de necesidades materiales humanas y quiere de las fabricas que funcionan para el conocimiento cientifico, el conocimiento tecnico de la ingenieria.

What is technology

1) The technology is the science which study and make things to improve our life.
2) This science must consider the physical limits that are showed in the nature
3) The phrases that I found are this : “ the study of the natural World “ and “process-scientific”
4) Three important parts of the technology are:
process-scientific
the knowledge
engineering

		Advantages	Disadvantages
Your translation		It uses common words in our speaking-language and expressions we use. It doesn’t make grammar mistakes or AT mistakes.	You can make mistakes because you are a human being. You loose a lot of time doing the translation and sometimes you have to look up some words in the dictionary.
AT (Systran™ )		It is fast and you don’t need to do anything.	It doesn’t work with time expressions, tenses, gender and number very well. Sometimes the system mixes those things. Another point is that it doesn’t sound naturally when you read it, because of what I told before and because of it uses some words that aren’t common in our speaking-language.
CAT		More accuracy than “Your translation”. Use technology for your benefit.	You can have a result that you weren’t expecting

The Nature Of Technology

El significado de la palabra tecnologia evoluciono para reflajar estos cambios. En el siglo XIV, la tecnologia se referia simplemente a las artes practicas usadas para creer productos fisicos, todo desde ruedas de carretas y ropa de algodon hasta telefonos y motores a vapor. En el siglo XX el significado de la palabra se expandio para incluir todo lo que involucraba satisfacer las necesidades de la gente y lo que este quiere, desde fabricas y las organizaciones que lo usan para el conocimiento cientifico, aspectos tecnicos de la ingenieria y y productos tecnologicos mismos

Translating Succesfully

Original

The meaning of the word "technology" evolved to reflect these changes. In the nineteenth century, technology referred simply to the practical arts used to create physical products, everything from wagon wheels and cotton cloth to telephones and steam engines. In the twentieth century, the meaning of the word was expanded to include everything involved in satisfying human material needs and wants, from factories and the organizations that operate them to scientific knowledge, engineering know-how, and technological products themselves.

My Translation

El significado de la palabra "tecnología" evolucionó para reflejar estos cambios. En el siglo 19, tecnología se refería simplemente al uso de las artes prácticas para crear productos, ya sea desde ruedas de carros y ropa de algodón hasta teléfonos y motores a vapor. En el siglo 20, el significado de la palabra se amplió para incluir todos los términos referidos a satisfacer necesidades y querencias materiales humanas, incluyendo fábricas y organizaciones que las manejan con fines de conocimiento científico, manejo de ingeniería, y creación de productos tecnológicos.

Systran’s Translation

El significado de la palabra “tecnología” se desarrolló para reflejar estos cambios. En el siglo XIX, la tecnología se refirió simplemente a los artes prácticos usados para crear los productos físicos, todo de las ruedas de carro y del paño de algodón a los teléfonos y a los motores de vapor. En el vigésimo siglo, el significado de la palabra fue ampliado para incluir todo implicada en la satisfacción de necesidades materiales humanas y quiere, de las fábricas y de las organizaciones que las funcionan al conocimiento científico, a los conocimientos técnicos de ingeniería, y a los productos tecnológicos ellos mismos.

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Your translation	It’s more accurate. One must analyze the phrase and check the meanings to do a better translation, which the automatic translator doesn’t.	It takes a lot of time and it’s really boring. One makes the language mistakes.
AT (Systran™)	Very fast. Takes less than 30 seconds.	Has many mistakes involving gender and number.
CAT	It’s just like the human translation, but you can check the words you don’t know to add them to your vocabulary and therefore translate it.	One must check a dictionary, encyclopedia or a wiki to see the meaning of the word. There is a possibility that the word is not there.
