Consider the automobile, which at first promised freedom and
joy:

But now gives us traffic jams and smog.

If you own a car, does it represent a cost or a benefit?
What if every person on Earth owns a car?

OurselvesSociety
The Environment

Your task is to prepare a rapid presentation on an issue
related to technology. Your presentation should:
Make use of ICT to……communicate your issue…… in less than 60 seconds.

Some issues to chose from:

Technology and ChangeWhat are the effects of this change? Look at historical (loss of traditional crafts due to mass production) and contemporary
(disruption of music and movie industries by P2P file sharing) examples. Why do
some people see change as a bad thing?
![Page 12: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ICT and EducationHow has technology changed education for ICHK students? How about students receiving the OLPC? Is it just hype or is
there a real positive effect?
![Page 13: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ICT and the EnvironmentWhat happens to our eWaste? Who does
this impact? Should consumers be responsible, or should the
manufacturers?.
![Page 14: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ICT and EconomicsWhy is the Open Source model of
software development becoming so successful, when it flies in the face of
the traditional market-based model for software? Where else can this more
enlightened model succeed? Are there any downsides?

Online CommunitiesSystems such as Facebook and World of
Warcraft allow us to be part of communities. What characteristics do
these online communities have? In what ways are they different to a school
community?
![Page 16: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Misuse of ICTInformation technology can be
extremely useful, but it can also be destructive and harmful. In what ways can ICT misuse occur? How can such
misuse be prevented?
![Page 17: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Now, choose an issue and prepare your presentation.
But remember…
![Page 18: Computer SystemsComputer Systems Part 3: Issues In TechnologyPart 3: Issues In Technology.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cc45503460f9498d2a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Not all technology Is ICT!
Technology
ICT
Some issues relate to technology in general, others specifically to ICT.
