Question 1.
Can you think of some technological advancements that have impacted the lives of people and communities around you? Talk to elders at home and in the neighbourhood about it. (Page 178) Class 8
Answer:
I asked my grandparents and neighbours about changes they've seen. They said mobile phones and the internet have made life easier. Earlier, they had to go to the market and bank, but now they can do many things from home. Farming has also improved with machines. These changes have saved time and made work faster. The technological advancements that have impacted the lives of people include:
- Online learning platforms: Facilitate skill-based courses in various fields.
- Online job searching portals: Support individuals in connecting with companies both nationally and internationally.
- Unified Payments Interface (UPI): Offers cashless transactions and real-time settlements.
Question 2.
Think of an invention that you would like to make to solve a problem. Write its related information on a piece of paper, such as its name, what it does, and how it works, sketches or drawings of what it would look like, and so on. Discuss with your classmates. Class 8
Answer:
If I get a chance to invent something that is problem-solving, I would want to invent an AI cooking assistant and name it Flora. It will guide new cooks (including me), several small vendors, and someone who wants to set up a cloud kitchen with voice-guided assistance. It will also suggest recipes with available ingredients. It will talk to us through cooking and take a pause between steps.
