The author argues that the traditional approach to teaching technology focuses too much on the technical aspects of the subject and neglects the importance of understanding the broader social implications of technological advancements. The book emphasizes the need for students to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, which can help them better navigate the complex and rapidly changing world of technology. The author also stresses the importance of studying and understanding the process of technology evolution in order to prepare for the future and ensure the survival of humanity. The book provides a series of exercises and activities designed to help students develop this personal paradigm and gain a deeper understanding of the role of technology in society. The book begins by discussing the challenges of teaching technology in the 21st century, including the rapid pace of technological change and the increasing complexity of technology. The author argues that these challenges require a new approach to teaching technology, one that prioritizes the development of a personal paradigm for understanding the technological process. The book then outlines the key concepts and principles of this approach, including the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of technology and society, the need for lifelong learning, and the value of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Next, the book provides a detailed overview of the history of technology, from the earliest tools and machines to the most advanced artificial intelligence systems.
