1.- TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE.
What´s technology?: Technology is the group of knowledge, skills, and techniques that human use to satisfy needs and to solve problems.
Techhnology is the practical application of knowledge. Technology works like a system that involves turning natural items into useful products: eg.car, tin, clothes, etc. It´s the “know-how”.
Technology works like a system (Input-Process-Output and feedback) where natural items turn into manufactured products. Systems are developed to address a goal.
- The INPUT are the resources availble to the system.
- The OUTPUT are the products generated by this system.
- The PROCESS is the way to get the goal.
- The FEEDBACK is used to control this process, it is the signal or measure that says how well the goal is being achieved, or how well the process is working.

He went home and told his dad and finally called me back later on that evening and said, "Hey, my dad said that you need a modem to break into another computer."
