adopted from the Europeans by the 1800's?
guns and ammunition
miscellaneous metal implements/utensils
food stuffs such as flour, sugar, and tea
all of the above

the handicraft of writing.
Steel-nib pens became popular in the 19th century not because

they were superior to quill pens but rather because they could
be mass produced using industrial technologies.
Technological change is influenced by a complex interplay

between technological devices, the skills required to use them,

claim system (for mining purposes) has made it relatively easy for
prospectors to lay claim to traditional Innu territory.

of ‘map-staking’. For a refundable fee of $240, individuals and
companies can claim 500 square foot plots of land without ever
physically going to Nitassinan. All they need do is place a pin on a
map. If they end up working their claim, all but $5 of their payment
is returned to them. As the map (above left) shows, one

consistent with the prevailing theories of development (e.g.,

Modernization Theory).
important because of its emphasis on sustainable resource
development.

Saved
Scientific ways of knowing are universalistic in nature whereas

Indigenous ways of knowing are site and time-specific.
True
False
Volti's contention that technology is a subversive process is

reflected in all but which of the following?
when technological change leads to a regressive

restructuring of the distribution of wealth and income
when technological change has no effect on existing political,

social, and economic arrangements
when new technologies lead to the destruction of obsolete
firms
when technological change leads to a restructuring of power

relations

processes demonstrate their clear-cut superiority over existing
ways of doing things. This perspective is called

etc.) into Innu communities has failed to reflect a sensitivity
towards the importance of preserving traditional Innu culture and
ways of life.

improve working conditions in textile factories the Luddite
movement came to an end.
True
False
With respect to the relationship between technology and science

weak link between science and technology.
Rome's contributions to science were minor, while its

technological achievements were relatively impressive.
Ancient Greece and Rome were very similar in terms of their
strengths and weaknesses in regard to scientific advance
and technological development.
The Greek's technological achievements were far less

impressive than their scientific acheivements.
The fact that the Pony Express gave way to the telegraph, which
in turn gave way to the telephone, reflects which of the
following?
Technological change is always beneficial.
Technological change is a progressive process.
Technological change is cumulative and dynamic.
Technological change is a submissive process.
Technological change is random and haphazard.
none of the above (subversive)
European technologies had which of the following effects on the

Innu during the pre-settlement period?
Traditional Innu culture was significantly disrupted as the

Innu became dependent on various European technologies
(e.g., guns and ammunition) and the traders who supplied
them.
The Innu demonstrated their ingenious nature by reverse

engineering many of the European technologies and then
crafting similar technologies using their own techniques and
resources (e.g., metal knives).
The Innu resisted the adoption of European technologies and

were therefore not affected by these technologies in any
significant way.
The Innu were quick to adopt many European technologies

but were sufficiently wise to avoid any form of dependence
and, in the result, successfully preserved their traditional way
of life.
With respect to the relationship between technology and science,

which of the following is true?
Pre-industrial craftsmen based their designs of technological
artifacts on trial and error methods rather than an understanding
of scientific principles.
Since the time of Ancient Greek civilization, the process of

technological development and scientific knowledge have been
inextricably linked.
Technology is best understood simply as a type of "applied

science".
Historically, the relationship between scientists and

technologists (e.g., craftsmen) has been harmonious and
cooperative.

a technical solution to a technical problem.
a non-technical solution to a non-technical problem.
a social solution to a technical problem.
a technical solution to a non-technical problem.
With respect to the rational approach shared by technological and

scientific modes of inquiry, which of the following is NOT true?
a propensity to challenge traditional intellectual authorities

a desire to develop exact methods of measurement
a willingness to settle questions through observation, testing and

experimentation
The emergence of Scientific Management at the turn of the 20th

century was motivated by
the growing harmony between workers and management due to

increasing prosperity.
the invention of the assembly line.
a rapid increase in the rate of industrial production. <--
a rapid increase in the rate of unionization.
the introduction of workers' rights legislation.
none of the above
According to Volti, arguing that a reliance on technology is unnatural
is like arguing against the nature of man.
True
False
German sociologist Max Weber argued that the world defined by

rational thought processes has become 'disenchanted'. For Weber
this is a positive development because it means that people have
lost their belief in magic powers, spirits and demons, gods and
genies.
True
False
Volti argues that technology often acts as a metaphor and,

therefore, affects the way we see ourselves and the world. He cites
the example of the 'feedback regulator' (essential to the operation of
early steam engines) and how this feedback regulator helps us
understand market economics.
True
False
Technological development often involves politicians and

administrators. Politicians formulate a society's goals whereas
administrators formulate and apply the rules by which society's
goals are most efficiently achieved.
True
False
The limitations of using technology to solve problems are

particularly noticeable when the problem involves open systems.
True *i think this is true* it says its true for a closed system
But
“It is also apparent that technological solutions work best

when they
operate within closed systems” p.70 of textbook pdf
^correct, so probably also True. Limitations show up in an

open system. “Technological solutions usually take place in
closed systems” you wouldn't see the limitations if it works
False
Volti argues that technological development, which clearly makes so

many aspects of our lives better, can be relied upon to bring about a
just and effective political and social system. We just have to get out
of its way.
True
False
That's it - the end of the exam
