Knowledge and understanding Technology as a human endeavour Technology influences and impacts on people, communities and environments. Design and development of products are influenced by societies’ changing needs and wants, and include artefacts, systems, environments and services. Product design and production decisions are influenced by specifications, constraints and aspects of appropriateness including functions, aesthetics, ethics, culture, available finances and resources, and sustainability. Decisions made about the design, development and use of products can impact positively or negatively on people, their communities and environments. Information, materials and systems (resources) The characteristics of resources are matched with tools and techniques to make products to meet design challenges. Resources are selected according to their characteristics, to match requirements of design challenges and suit the user. Techniques and tools are selected to manipulate or process resources to enhance the quality of products and to match design ideas, standards and specifications.
