TECHNOLOGY DEVICES DECIDE OUR FUTURE MYQ QUESTION: How can future constructions or devices improve the quality of our life? Answers:
 * 1)  Personal interpretation of the MYP question
 * 2)  Personal meaning about the environment concept
 * 3)  Personal meaning of sustainability
 * 4)  Personal meaning of a system concept
 * 5)  A brief explanation about the relationship between any environment and the technology
 * 6)  A written explanation about the structure and the functionality of a technology construction or device, that can improve the life style in the future
 * 7)  A list of specifications about the construction or device mentioned before
 * 1) Future technology will make human’s life a lot more comfortable. As time has passes technology has filled people’s necessities by creating devices that help them. But as technology has evolved it became a need for people, it is even considered an addiction. This “addiction” was created because after technology was used for necessities it was used for people comfort and making it easier for people to do daily things and entertain them self’s. Technology has minimized effort done by people on daily life activities. Nowadays there are many predictions of how would be life on future depending on technology, also web pages full of future technology’s prediction. There are even a wide variety of devices that have been planned, others even created, which predict what will be used in future. In general all these devices are for people’s comfort; this has a negative and positive side. They will make human’s life easier and more entertained, but as everything; they could create a negative impact on some environments depending on the type of devices. Even though, technology devices bring many benefits to the community making people’s life easier, they could also distract them from their role. A good idea could be a device for minimizing impact made by other devices.

2. Environment: (Internet Info)

Surrounding of things, conditions, or influences; surroundings. Ecology: the air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors surrounding and affecting a given organism at any time. The social and cultural forces that shape the life of a person or a population. Computers: The hardware or software configuration or the mode of operation, of a computer system: In a time-sharing environment, transactions are processed as they occur. An indoor or outdoor setting that is characterized by the presence of environmental art that is itself designed to be site-specific. My definition: An environment is any surrounding and any space where there is a system of different things, objects and elements that make that environment work properly. It is a system with different elements that interact with each other. Each of the elements needs each other to work properly and efficiently sharing a space.

3.Sustainability: (Internet Info) Capable of sustain, capable of being continued with minimal effect on the environment. Sustainability refers to thebalance betweena species withthe resources of theenvironment to whichit belongs.Basically, sustainability, what it proposesto meet the needsof the present generationbut notbe sacrificedforthese future capabilitiesof future generationsto meet their ownneeds, something like findingthe right balancebetween thesetwo issues. It is something that gives support, endurance, or strength. The ability of ahuman societyinits environmentto supportcontinuous improvementof quality oflife of its membersfor the longtermsustainability ofa societytheroleof managementisthat itmakesof its natural resourcesand can be improvedindefinitely. It is something that gives support, help, or strength. It is the ability to be sustainable. Sustainable describes something that can be continued or a practice that maintains a condition without harming the environment. My definition: Sustainability is the action of being capable to sustain itself without influencing other things in a negative way, or at least the less possible. Creating a balance between each element to give support and strength to each other, this way it will create a healthy environmental system.

4.System: (Internet Info) System is a group of interacting elements forming a complex whole. It is a related group of elements, an organized set of interrelated ideas or principles, a social, economic, or political organizational form. It is the condition of harmonious, orderly interaction,an organized and coordinated method; a procedure, a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming a unified. A group of interacting bodies under the influence of related forces, an assemblage of substances that is in or tends to equilibrium, an organized or established procedure, a manner of classifying, harmonious arrangement. My definition: A system is a group of elements that need each other to coordinate themselves and work organized. When all the system’s objects get together they create an efficient “team” interacting with each other. All elements should be organized and have a proper function in the system, this way it will create a balanced group.

5. A brief explanation about the relationship between any environment and the technology:

Technology could be considered a system, but this system also makes part of many other environments around people’s daily lives. Technology helps people perform their daily tasks making them easier, such as in cooking environment; kitchen equipment makes cooking a lot faster, in working or studying environment; computers make writing, investigations, publications and presentations a lot faster, easier and safer. All technology devices have different purposes, as I said before; some are to make task’s performance easier, but there are others that interact in the entertainment environment, security environment, construction environment, studying environment and others. Technology is nowadays interacting with most of the environments.

6.A written explanation about the structure and the functionality of a technology construction or device, that can improve the life style in the future:

A contact lens that records what the person is looking at. This way, it will be easier to remember many things or places. The person only remembers what he/she has seen if they want to. Life style will improve in the future in many aspects. People will be much safer because they could remember what happened if they receive violence, suspect could be caught and crimes or suicides could be resolved. It will work for pleasure for people to remember good moments in their lives. It will help to show clearly any situation to another person, because if they remember it, they can describe more specifically and show them with another device that what they are remembering. To memorize some information by only looking at a page or place; it will save time and effort. All these advantages will create as I said enjoyment, tools on investigations, learn things easily. All this will save much time to normal human lives.

__ Updated device: __ The device that I will perform is a machine that transports you between time (future-past-present) using physic and science discoveries. It will be a rectangular container where people go inside, press a button and go to the future, past, or present. With this device people could revive and watch their past only by looking at it but not being able to change it; if they could change it, it will be a total mess between time factors. It will also make possible going to the future and see what happens but not being able to change it either. By traveling to the past the people could watch what happens, go back to the present and modify it. After traveling through time, people could always get back it time with tis same device. Future could be changed being in present but past can only be watched. In future or past, for coming back in time you will need another device.

__ Specifications: __
 * Rectangular container
 * Scientific discoveries for traveling through time
 * 2m height
 * Specific traveling through time (FLT, wormholes, paradoxes, etc.)

__Updated Device__: (Time Machine)
My final device will be a modern, technologic and scientific car that could transport from 2 to 4 people depending on it's capacity through time. It could transport you between time (future-past-present) using physic and science discoveries. With this device people could revive and watch their past only by looking at it but not being able to change it; if they could change it, it will be a total mess between time factors. It will also make possible going to the future and see what happens but not being able to change it either. By traveling to the past the people could watch what happens, go back to the present and modify it. After traveling through time, people could always get back it time with tis same device. Future could be changed being in present but past can only be watched.
