Chapter 6: Technology Connections

Chapter Summaries

Section 6.1
Modern technology depends heavily on science and mathematics. All scientists apply the same scientific method to solve problems. Scientific conclusions that have been carefully developed through experimentation are called “scientific theories.” Over time they may be accepted as scientific laws. Few subjects are more important to technology than mathematics.

Section 6.2
We need verbal and written communication skills in order to develop technology and teach it to others. Social studies teaches us that past inventions have improved people’s lives, changed economies, and altered governments. Our society has moved into the Information Age. Today’s jobs require workers with technology-based abilities.
