Exploring Technology Structures

What is a technology structure?

• A type of hardware used in computers.

• A method for coding software applications.

• A set of programming languages for web development.

• A framework that defines the organization and interaction of technological components within a system.

Name three types of technology structures.

• Network

• Hierarchical

• Centralized, Decentralized, Matrix

• Linear

How do technology structures impact society?

• Technology structures only impact physical environments.

• Technology structures impact society by shaping interactions, access to information, and economic opportunities.

• Technology structures are solely responsible for cultural traditions.

• Technology structures have no effect on society.

What role does infrastructure play in technology structures?

• Infrastructure is a luxury that can be ignored in technology.

• Infrastructure only affects hardware, not software.

• Infrastructure is essential for supporting and enabling technology structures.

• Infrastructure is irrelevant to technology structures.

Can you give an example of a technology structure in your community?

• The community park's playground equipment.

• The local grocery store's checkout system.

• The public library's digital catalog system.

• The high school's sports field lighting system.

How do technology structures evolve over time?

• Technology structures evolve through innovation, adaptation, integration, and responding to societal needs.

• Technology structures remain static over time.

• Technology structures are solely influenced by economic factors.

• Technology structures only evolve through government regulations.

What are the benefits of having a well-organized technology structure?

• Reduced compliance and risk management

• Limited communication and collaboration

• Increased costs and inefficiency

• Benefits include increased efficiency, improved communication, better resource management, scalability, adaptability, risk management, and compliance.

How do technology structures affect communication?

• Technology structures have no impact on communication.

• Technology structures affect communication by influencing the speed, clarity, and accessibility of information exchange.

• Communication is solely dependent on personal skills, not technology.

• Technology structures only affect communication in face-to-face interactions.

What challenges can arise from poorly designed technology structures?

• Lower operational costs

• Challenges include inefficiency, high maintenance costs, scalability issues, security vulnerabilities, and user frustration.

• Increased user satisfaction

• Enhanced data privacy

In what ways can technology structures influence education?

• Technology structures create barriers to communication.

• Technology structures enhance access, personalization, collaboration, engagement, and efficiency in education.

• Technology structures limit access to resources.

• Technology structures reduce student engagement.
