Knowledge and understanding Technology as a human endeavour Technology influences and impacts on people, communities and environments in local and global contexts. Product design and production decisions are influenced by aspects of appropriateness and by detailed specifications, constraints and standards of production. Information, materials and systems (resources) Resources originate from different sources, exist in various forms and are manipulated to meet specifications and standards to make products. Characteristics of resources are compared, contrasted and selected to meet detailed specifications and predetermined standards of production to best suit the user.
