the 5 answers for unit 5 {human inguenity}
What is Technology? Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. Many people say and think that technology is only computers, software’s and many other things. Technology is not only these things it is more. Technology includes all infrastructures necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair of technological artifacts, from corporate headquarters and engineering schools to manufacturing plants and maintenance facilities. The knowledge and processes used to create and to operate technological artifacts -- engineering know-how, manufacturing expertise, and various technical skills -- are equally important part of technology. [|http://wiki.answers.com/Q/whatistechnology#ixzz1nflL219m] Where does technology come from? Technology was made by scientists. It was made so that it is easy for everyday people. []

How come the number Zero spread from India to Europe about 1200 AD but not from South America even though we know the Mayans were using the number Zero in 200AD? They didn’t have many links between themselves and other communities. They used to trade within themselves or they used to trade with nearby civilizations. On the other hand the zero spread from India along to the gulf because of relations and different social activities than the Mayans. From the gulf traders went to Europe.

the unit 5 investigation
How did the ancients use numbers?

=
Explanation : I know a little bit about the ancients use numbers. I learned that little bit in math’s with Mrs. Ford. We learned that the number zero was new after the ancients. But I want to find out when it was invented and spread. ======

=
Design Brief : The ancients used numbers in a way. They never had 0 {zero’s} because they did not need it. They only had one as I and two as II; they used to add one to two so the number becomes higher. This had gone up to three; they used five as V and ten as X and so on. So if they wanted to write four they would have wrote it as IV and six was VI because if I=1 and V=5 this would mean 1 before five and for six it would be 1 after five which equals to six. ======

Design Specifications : My design specifications are:

 * ====== my powerpoint should be different from everybody elses so it is more attractive. ======
 * ====== make sure that my powerpoint does not have much information that makes people go to sleep. ======
 * this powerpoint should have animations and the writings should have effects.
 * should be easy to navigate.
 * and the size of my writing should be big so that it is visible from far.

Tests: I have tested my design specifications byasking my friend a nd he said my powerpoint never had so much information that it will make people tired of reading. he said that it will be easy to navigate, the pwerpoint has excellent animations and the writings has good effects and has a good size of writing. Here is a table above.
 * Arabic ||  1  ||  5  ||  10  ||  50  ||  100  ||  500  ||  1000  ||
 * Roman ||  I  ||  V  ||  X  ||  L  ||  C  ||  D  ||  M  ||

Here are some examples:

MDCCCLXXXVIII = 1,000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1,888

MMDCCCLXVIIII= 1,000 +1,000 + 500 +100 +100 +100 +50 +10 +5 +1 +1 +1 +1= 2,869 []

the unit 5 design
specifications for design 1 is done on the book and specifications for design 2 is done below and it says: this peice of work reaches my design specifications because it tells us what i am going to do and it does not reach my design specifications because i took an idea from the teacher which was linking the pages. this design has reached my specifications by having colour instead of black and white and it tells you what i am going to do on all 6 pages. this has not reached my specifications because it is all squished up and is hard to read I'd rather choose design 1 because it is a idea that everybody uses mostly.

The things I changed in my PowerPoint 1.The links were not there before so it looked the same as everybody's so I decided to add the links so it is different. 2. I had just added some more tiny bits to make it look good. 3. I have made one of my biggest change in this PowerPoint; I added pictures that are different from the from what I have mentioned in my plan and the most important one was the one that said __I will put the picture of maths seen now a days__ while I put Algebra only. =**Muhammed Salim Unit 5 Evaluation**= =Evaluation =

The unit that we have just done is an excellent unit because it taught us a lot in I.C.T and is helping me in Math. My design specifications are good and I have tested them like I had to and I liked the first one more (the one with the links and the tiny bits I changed) because I have used something that I learned before and used in a new unit. This unit reminded me that I had a fun time in Math’s when we were doing the same kind of unit. I also liked the first design specification because it had the words on the paper. It was a unit that taught me about the history and the present. I think this is one of the best units that I have done in this term. The only thing I messed up on was answering the IB learner profile. I made a mistake of not listening to the teacher which was not a good thing to do. Next time I should listen to the teacher before i ask my friends; if I fail to hear the teachers words than I should ask again and should not care that the teacher shouts. It is my responsibility to take cate of this problem next time. I should not blame my friends or my fellow classmates if I do not complete my work because it would be my fault.
