Where Can Technology Take Us?

See our USpace galleries for a look at the inquiry projects we have been working on about our environment and sustainability. Our learning has had many of us asking some big questions about the world we live in.

Watch this video and respond to the questions below…



When we learned about Christchurch in the past, we discovered that the central city had traffic conductors at intersections. We know that we don't have traffic conductors now because traffic lights have been invented.

Think about how technology can change our lives. 

1. What new skills do you think people might need in the future?

2. We have been learning about many environmental issues through our inquiry projects. Do you think that technology could solve some of these issues? How?

    I think it would be bad for the environment because it is good to help with learning but bad for the environment when trying to make it

  4. I think that technology is good for the learning part of the environment but bad for the air. The air is getting polluted and more people are getting sick when they are making these devices.

  5. In the future people will need to know how to use the new technology, like new ways to talk with each other and meet lots of people online.

    I reckon they can solve the environmental issues by looking stuff up on the internet and using more apps that will help.

  6. in the future people will need technology to communicate to other people and also to do studies learn to read ,write and lots more so technology is a big part of the world and if you think about it we need technology because our water gets processed through it .

    But technology can also be very bad for the environment because all the phones, computers,and also fridges and lots of other things people use everyday gets chucked out eventually and then it pollutes the air that humans and animals need to live with.

  7. In the future we might need Hover Cars and Instruments that play themselves BUT there are many side effects.
    Hover car will be polluting at some stage.
    Instruments will be powered by something but what?

    Although It can solve some problems but it can make things worse.
    Computers and IPads are helpful don't you think?
    Yes they're helpful but other technology is Hazardous right?
    Cars pollute and other problems.
    But cars are also helpful.
    Travel far, Travel near.
    Boats and Cars get our food and supplies but they're still a big hazard

  12. We might need skills like every one being able to fly an airplane because we might have hover cars.

    Yes and no because sometimes the internet gives us false information but sometimes it gives us true information.

  13. I don't think we need anymore technology because look at all the devices we have, they need to stop making knew devices because we've got Iphones and Ipads. Next year they'll probably make a knew phone and the and that would be be the next big thing

  15. In the future we'll need technology to help us learn,communicate and to get to different places and discovering new things like technology walls. In the future we wont have ipads,ipods,computers,iphones and smartphone's will be in a museum.In the future we will have different technology's like paint brushes that you tell them what design you want and it will do the picture you want.

    Technology can also be bad for the environment because all the stuff we use like phones ipods ipads computers etc it will get chucked out and will soon go under the ground? Yes because all the stuff we use will soon go under the ground and also pollute the air.

    I don't think that technology will help the environment in the future because alot of the things that we use today has already polluted the air.

  21. In the future we might need transporters so if where far away from the place your willing to be you just push the button and you got transported to the place you wanted to be.

  22. I think we don't need any more technology because if more technology comes out we would learn how to use it and we would forget how to use all the old technology.
    I think skills we will need in the future would be to remember how to use all technology that we have used.
