To demystify the technological objects in one s life. To draw out the analogy between the computer and the brain. Activities Make electric motors. The passing of time involves change and, in some case, dramatic change. One way to predict what the future will hold is to extrapolate from information about the past.
Technology can help to predict, deal with or influence change.
Changes occur at different rates for certain indivduals, populations, species, technologies and market places. To understand the impact of a change occurring at an exponential rate. To study some currently changing systems in order to conjecture about their future, e.g., information processing, land formation, biotechnology, resource consumption. To contrast the rates of change for various systems and populations. To identify the individual's perception of change and role in dealing with it.
