4.1.4.8 Technological Change and Its Impact - video

What is a primary reason for the rapid pace of technological change?

• Lower consumer demand for technology

• Increased access to funding and resources

• Reduction in research and development

• Decrease in global education levels

What distinguishes an invention from an innovation?

• Invention is about creating ideas, innovation makes them commercially viable

• Innovation does not require practical application

• Invention involves theoretical concepts only

• Innovation is less important in the technology sector

Which industry was mentioned as an example of creative destruction due to technological change?

• Mobile phone industry

• Automotive manufacturing

• Textile industry

• Food service

What is the concept of 'creative destruction' in the context of technological change?

• Creation of technologies that do not disrupt current markets

• Destruction of all old technologies without replacements

• Innovation that disrupts and makes old models obsolete

• Maintaining traditional business models

How does technological change potentially affect production methods?

• It only leads to more labor-intensive methods

• It has no significant impact on production methods

Which sector is mentioned as potentially becoming more labor-intensive due to technological change?

• Medical services

• Automotive

• Agriculture

• Information technology

Which of the following is a direct result of technological advancements in production?

• Reduction in the use of technology in production

• Greater use of specialized machinery and capital

• Increased use of manual processes

• Decreased need for any kind of labor

What is a potential future concern regarding jobs and technological change?

• Decrease in technological advancements

• Stable job markets unaffected by technology

What is the predicted impact of technological change on job markets over the next 50 years?

• Potential job destruction

• Unpredictable changes

• Stable job market

• Definite increase in jobs

How does technological change generally affect the cost of production?

• Reduces as efficiency and productivity improve

• Increases due to higher technology costs

• Increases due to labor costs

• Has no impact on production costs
