All of the statements describe needs or problems that can be addressed using the technology design process. However, some are more directly aligned with the development of specific technologies or design solutions. Here’s a brief analysis of each:
-
A community needs a new swimming pool. - This can involve architectural design, community planning, and engineering solutions, making it suitable for the technology design process.
-
A family needs a garage door that will automatically open when their car approaches. - This is a specific technological challenge that can be solved by designing an automatic opening mechanism, making it well-suited for the technology design process.
-
A baseball player needs to improve his batting skills. - While this could involve technological solutions (like training devices), it’s broader and might not directly fit into the technology design process in the same way other options do.
-
A farmer needs a new piece of farm machinery to harvest his crop. - This clearly involves engineering and design to create a new agricultural tool or machine, making it very relevant to the technology design process.
Among these, the first, second, and fourth statements most clearly describe needs that can be directly solved using the technology design process. The second statement about the automatic garage door is the most specific technological problem and solution-oriented.
