Most of the fundamental changes in our modern society and way of life have been brought about, directly or indirectly, by technology. The list of changes is long and varied: from the nature of war— way from nuclear confrontation toward terrorism and low-intensity conflicts—to the globalization of manufacturing and services; from the Internet and instant and ubiquitous communications that challenge traditional territorial sovereignty, to the widespread demise of pyramidal hierarchies; from the urbanization of over half of the world’s population, to the growing gap between the information rich and the information poor.
In recent years, a number of significant efforts have been undertaken to address the issue of scientific literacy, including the ambitious project on science standards of the National Research Council(1996). But the parallel question of technological literacy remains largely unaddressed in spite of its importance. In the population at large and in the media, science and technology are still confused with each other. Many schools often intend for technological literacy just the ability to use computers—far too narrow a view. The fundamental difference between science and technology is ignored or not appreciated. It is the difference between understanding and modifying nature, between searching for the whys of nature and engineering the artifacts that respond to our needs and extend our capabilities.
There are serious dangers in this lack of literacy. Citizens will remain disenfranchised unless they learn how to effectively access and use information. Society as a whole will be unable to respond to the great challenges of the future without at least a modicum of understanding, at the grass roots, of the nature of technology, of the opportunities and risks that technology presents to us, and of how to intelligently guide and use technological innovations.
Given the dynamics of society and technology, the achievement of technological literacy will require considerable effort at multiple levels. It must become a goal not only for the K-12 system, but also for schools of education. After all, how can we expect teachers to convey to students the exciting interplay among math, science, and engineering that makes possible our technological world if they lack such an appreciation themselves?
According to the author, technology______.
