Technology in Our Daily Lives

Technology is anything people have made to help solve problems or make life easier. A cellphone helps us talk to people far away. A stove helps us cook food. Even a simple tool like a pair of scissors is technology.
Example

Technology at Home and School

At home: a fridge keeps food cold, a TV shows programmes, a tap brings water. At school: a computer helps us find information, a projector shows pictures on a wall. In the community: traffic lights keep roads safe.
Note

Remember

Technology can be very helpful, but we must use it safely. Do not touch electrical plugs with wet hands. Ask an adult before using any device you are unsure about.
