Document Summary
Textbook: the application of science to solve problems in daily life. Frequently used more broadly: a tiny innovation commonly found in. Bathroom keys in coffee shops where they attach an object so you don"t walk away with it. Idea that you can put up signs that you can leave the key, but actually doing a physical thing enforces the social norm automatically. Solutions to a problem you might not have thought of unless you"d seen someone doing it. Technology mediates the way we live and interact in society. Changes the way we interact with the world, each other and view our lives. Transportation has a huge affect, markets are bigger and people can move them all over the place. Broadening the scope of where we can get things. Look at quality life of a human, how long and healthy one person can be. Birth control/family planning is a reason for why family size is smaller these days.
