Identify one everyday technology and think about how it affects your daily life. Because one goal of this exercise is to help you begin to notice technologies that we usually take for granted, the object you choose should be non-electric and nonelectronic. Make a list of every technology you use during the day. Review your list and choose one object that surprises you the most. Write about this object using the following questions as guides:

What makes this object a technology?

How does it impact your daily life?

Why is it surprising to think of it as a technology?

How does this everyday object affect how you define a technology?

What makes something a technology?
