Innovations are the result of a series of refinements that have improved an invention overtime. This is the concept of:

• Scientific discovery
• Technological evolution
• Scientific method
• Technological mobility

The change from the quill pen to the ballpoint pen used today is referred to as:

• brainstorming. 
•  innovation.
• a discovery. 
• a patent.

As knowledge and skills increase, modification to products advance from one generation to the next. This is an example of?

• technological design. 
• manufacturing. 
• technical creativity. 
• technological evolution. 

When a new technology immediately undergoes a lot of changes.

• Bad Ecomomy
• Invention
• Poor Modeling
• Innovation

The study of technology should look at how the development of new technology affects humans at both the:

• marketplace and workplace.
• schoolhouse and statehouse. 
•  local level and global level. 
• time of birth and time of death. 

An example of a product of technological evolution is:

• Ballpoint pen
• Ink-dipping quill pen.
• Finger Painting

• technology transfer. 
• a trade-off. 
• design optimization. design optimization. design optimization. design optimization. design optimization.
• streamlining. 

Common characteristics of technologists, scientists, and mathematicians could include such things as:

• satisfaction with the present state of knowledge. 
• a reluctance to try new ideas and new solutions. 
• creativity, curiosity, and a desire for new knowledge.
• not using math to solve problems. 

Technological literacy is defined as:

• the ability to use computers to solve problems. 
• an understanding of the relationship between science, math, and technology.
• an understanding of the history of technology. 
• the ability to successfully interact with technology, and to make informed decisions.
