OBSERVING TECHNOLOGY 2
Observing Technology
Technology is a branch of knowledge used to create tools, grow skills and extract
materials. It is also the application of science to meet a certain intention or solve a problem. In

will be on the use of technology on organization of human activities as well as their behavioural
characteristics.
Popular technology related to human interaction includes cell phones, tablets and ipads.

multimedia messaging (like pictures and videos) and direct connection to the internet in addition
to voice and text communication (Kumiko and Edward, 2003).
While observing various human activities for this assignment, I went to the mall and sat
by a restaurant and chose a strategic place where I could sit sipping my milk shake as I observed
human interaction and their use of technology. My observation was not limited to inside the
restaurant alone, as I made observations outside the restaurant but within the mall. The restaurant

mothers shopping with their children, and teenagers to mention a few. There were various items
of technology used, such as cell phones, some simple with basic functions, ipads, Bluetooth
hands free devices, and iPods. What stood out, however, was that despite everyone in the
restaurant and outside owning and carrying a cell phone, there was constant use of cell phones
