Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 3 Basic Science & Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Places where underdeveloped technology is used. Today, we’re going to learn about the Importance of Underdeveloped Technology.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List 6 importance of underdeveloped technology.
- Explain how underdeveloped technology helps us in our daily lives.
- Share examples of underdeveloped technology from your community.
Importance of Underdeveloped Technology
Why is Underdeveloped Technology Important?
There are many reasons why underdeveloped technology is important. Some of these reasons include:
- They help us with daily activities: Underdeveloped technology helps us with many daily activities, such as cooking, farming, and building. For example, a simple hand tool like a hoe is used for farming, while a traditional cooking pot is used for preparing meals.
- They are easy to maintain and repair: Underdeveloped technology is often made from simple materials that are easy to find and repair. This makes them more affordable and accessible to people in rural areas.
- They are affordable for many people: Underdeveloped technology is typically less expensive than advanced technology. This makes it more accessible to people with limited resources.
- They connect us to our traditions and heritage: Underdeveloped technology is often passed down through generations, connecting us to our cultural heritage and traditions.
- They are sustainable and environmentally friendly: Underdeveloped technology is often made from natural materials and uses less energy than advanced technology. This makes it more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
- They are essential in communities where advanced technology is not available: In many communities, advanced technology is not readily available. Underdeveloped technology provides essential tools and methods for people in these areas.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about the importance of underdeveloped technology, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- List three examples of underdeveloped technology.
- Explain why underdeveloped technology is important in your community.
- Share a personal experience or story related to underdeveloped technology.
- What are some ways underdeveloped technology can be used to solve problems in your community?
