Standard 1:
 * A. Technology:
 * 1. Technology should make life easier and/or help us have fun. It improves our lives.
 * 2. Ergonomics: Designing objects that help people with their jobs, environment, sports, safety or anything that involves people.
 * B. You need to have a system to be successful:
 * 1. A system is and organized way to achieve a goal.
 * 2. A system includes four parts:
 * a. Input
 * b. Output
 * c. Process
 * d. Feedback
 * C. There are trade-offs in systems:
 * 1. When buying products you have to decide what trade-offs you can live with.
 * a. Needs to fit in your budget
 * b. Better quality = More Money
 * c. What are you willing to trade.
 * D. Technology and Science:
 * 1. Science focuses on the natural world.
 * 2. Technology focuses on the correct uses of tools it makes life easier and improves it.
 * 3. Technology also includes invention, and innovation.
 * a. Invention is the process of designing new products.
 * b. Innovation is improving an existing technology.
 * E. Technology needs to use resources:
 * 1. Reduce
 * 2. Recycle
 * 3. Reuse
 * 4. Renew
 * (Trade-offs, landfills, and waste stream.)
