Chapter 9

Technology

How tools and machines — technology — help people do work more easily — with an interactive exercise.

Technology means the tools and machines people make to help us do work more easily.

Long ago people carried water by hand; today a tap and pipes bring water to us. A knife helps us cut, and a wheel helps us move heavy things. Technology makes work faster and easier.

Remember

  • Technology = tools and machines that help us.
  • Tools make our work faster and easier.
