 International- Intl. Technology Education Association: Standards for Technology Literacy |
| • Category : The Nature of Technology
|
| • Standard 1: Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics and scope of technology.
|
| • Grade Range : 6-8
|
|  Benchmark H: Technology is closely linked to creativity, which has resulted in innovation.
Most inventions are inspired by perceived needs and wants- the hairbrush, for example. Other inventions are linked to developing creative ideas and the way a person uses them, not necessarily their intended use. For example, the invention of the tea bag grew out of a packaging strategy to replace expensibe tin containers. Althought teas was packaged in small silk bags to give away as sampless, some useers thought it was a new ways to brew the tea, and thus the tea bag was born. An invention can always be improved, and trying new ideas is often key to that improvement.
