Demonstrate understanding of consequences, responsibilities and challenges involved in technology
This standard asks you to think critically about how technology affects society—both good and bad—and what responsibilities people who create technology have. You need to pick a specific field (like medicine, sports, or gaming) and examine how a technological development has changed over time, what unintended consequences it caused, and how it's changed what we think it means to be human.
You explain the consequences, discuss technologist responsibilities, and show how the technology challenges perceptions of being human—all with basic understanding and some supporting examples.
You go deeper by discussing how the consequences have actively shaped and changed the responsibilities of technologists over time, showing cause-and-effect connections rather than just listing separate points.
You discuss likely future technological developments with solid reasoning backed by evidence, and you explain *why* the technology fundamentally challenges human identity—not just *that* it does.
